The State : Manson Sent to New Prison
Convicted mass murderer Charles Manson was transferred this week from San Quentin to the state’s toughest, new maximum-security section at Corcoran State Prison near Tulare, a corrections officer disclosed.

The prisons at Folsom, San Quentin and Tehachapi are closing their maximum-security units.
