Charles Manson can't get a break.

CBS/AP) CORCORAN, Calif. - A California prison panel has denied parole to Charles Manson in his 12th bid for freedom.

Wednesday's hearing at Corcoran State Prison could be the last one for the aging mass murderer. Under current law, inmates can be denied the chance to reapply for parole for up to 15 years. Manson could be 92 before he gets another opportunity to make his case.

Now a gray-bearded 77-year-old, Manson did not attend the hearing, which may have been his final chance to ask for freedom.

"At this age, I think he doesn't care," said Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira, who was expected to argue Wednesday against Manson's release. "He would be lost if he got out. He's completely institutionalized."

I suppose he is lucky that he was not subject to the death penalty.

I suppose he is lucky that he was not subject to the death penalty.

I don't think he really cares about that either, because after all, he didn't even bother attending his parole hearing!

We'd all like to think he's begging us for freedom, when he doesn't really give a rat's ass what anybody thinks :)

In fact, he's rather comfortable & has a rather active prison life! From the link:


"Manson, however, is anything but a recluse. He has a steady stream of visitors who submit requests to see him, including college students writing papers about him, said Theresa Cisneros, spokeswoman for Corcoran State Prison.
Manson must approve all requests.
"He has a large interested public," Cisneros said, adding that Manson receives more mail than most prisoners."

Interesting. Considering the interest and attention he draws, I would think he longs to be out, since it seems he would be treated like a prince. It is easy to imagine that he did not bother to attend his parole hearing because he has come to accept that they will never let him go, thank god. And when you are that old, I don't suppose you care to waste your energy for nothing.
