Updated Prison Photos of Charles Manson 74

Updated Prison Photos of Charles Manson 74, California corrections officials released an updated prison photograph of Charles Manson today, showing the balding and graying 74 year old, complete with his iconic forehead swastika. The new photo of Charles Manson shows his graying beard and his legendary swastika tattooed into his forehead. It doesn’t look like the Charles Mason we used to know. Could it be we are all aging?

California State Prison in Corcoran, about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles, where Manson is serving a life term, updates their prisoner’s pictures on a regular basis.

It has almost been 40 years since the “Manson family” killings in August of 1969.

For those of you too young or too stoned to remember, Charles Manson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, Charles “Tex” Watson and Leslie Van Houten were convicted of murder and other charges in connection with a two night rampage that left pregnant actress Sharon Tate and seven others dead.

Van Houten, only19 at the time of the brutal murders, was convicted in the murders of Leno LaBianca, a wealthy grocery store owner, and his wife, Rosemary. He was accused of stabbing Rosemary LaBianca 14 to 16 times in the back.

Van Houten was also convicted of conspiracy in Tate’s death and four others at the actress’ Beverly Hills home. The baby, which was ripped from Tate’s womb, died. Manson, Atkins and Krenwinkel were convicted for those murders.

All members of the “Manson Family” have been up for parole multiple times over the past four decades, but it has never been granted. Susan Adkins is dying from cancer and in July of 2008 asked for parole, but it was denied.

Atkins was convicted in the Tate stabbing and is believed to have been one of the people who stabbed Tate and scrawled the word “pig” in blood on the door of the home the actress shared with director Roman Polanski.

In May 2008, authorities dug for bodies at the Inyo County, California, ranch where Manson and his followers once lived, after police learned that testing had indicated human remains might be buried there. However, nothing was found.

Updated Prison Photos of Charles Manson 74 shows he is getting older, but the wild look of a sociopath is still there. Do leopards loose their spots or do they just move around? In Charles Manson’s case I think not…they merely move around. For more information on Charles Manson, go to CNN News.
