Masterson has been interned at Corcoran State Prison in Central California and will be eligible for parole in 2042 – when he’s 66 years old
Danny Masterson has been moved to Corcoran State Prison in Central California, where infamous cult leader Charles Manson spent years of his life.
The former That ‘70s Show star, 47, was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison after he was found guilty of raping two women over two decades ago.
Just last week, Masterson was denied bail pending appeal over fears the convicted rapist has “every incentive to flee”.
The Wrap first reported that, according to state records, Masterson has officially been moved to Corcoran after spending time in an LA County lockup and later the North Kern State Prison intake facility.
Records show that the actor will be eligible for parole in 2042 – when he’s 66 years old.
Blogger Jeffrey Augustine reports that Masterson will be housed in the prison’s Level 4 maximum security housing unit – the highest level of security available.
That’s the correct explanation. Michael Jace, former star on The Shield (who murdered his wife in 2014) is also serving his life sentence at Corcoran. They’re both considered “high profile” inmates and Corcoran State Prison’s Level IV housing and protective custody units are set up to handle these type of inmates whose fame and notoriety make it dangerous for them to be in gen pop.
Other notable inmates: Charles Manson, Rodney Alcala (The Dating Game Killer), and Sirhan Sirhan (assassinated RFK)
Perhaps better known for his role in Murder, She Wrote: The Last Free Man - you can’t make this shit up.
Damn that’s wild. Seems like it could be an interesting story.
Yeah “envy” is an odd word choice, I’m not sure why they went with that. As far as my understanding goes he was just a garden variety domestic abuser who escalated to the point of murdering his wife in a fit of rage. It’s not that interesting, just another senseless DV tragedy.
Oh. That’s a lot less interesting than I thought.
