Prison releases photo of elderly Charles Manson

LOS ANGELES – California corrections officials have released a new photograph of convicted mass murderer Charles Manson, who is now bald with a thick gray beard.

The photo of the 74-year-old Manson was taken Wednesday as part of a routine update of files on inmates at Corcoran State Prison, where he is serving a life sentence for conspiring to murder seven people, said Seth Unger, spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Wow that’s ugly. That’s, like, the opposite of Rule 5 blogging.

And yeah, I’d say that right to his face. So long as his face is a still photograph on my computer screen while he’s in a maximum security prison a thousand-plus miles from here.
