I read an article recently about Charles Manson being caught with a mobile phone once again. This is the second time he is committing this offense. In 2009, he was found with a mobile for the 1st time. He had used the phone to call people across various states and seemingly received calls too. The first time around, the punishment he received was a deduction of 30 days of good behaviour credit, which seemed like a small punishment. The penalty for his second offense would be decided soon by a hearing.
The man is serving life imprisonment and has been denied parole 11 times. He becomes eligible for it once again in 2012. He is considered insane and has been in prison for more than 40 years now. In fact people hope that even if he manages to get a parole, he never really gets a passport as he is one American who is better off being in America. Manson is the leader of the cult Manson family, which shot to fame in USA after they murdered 7 people, one of the victims being Sharon Tate. Sharon Tate, who was the wife of famed director Roman Polanski, was 8 and half months pregnant at the time of her murder. Manson is also associated with the use of a term, “Helter Skelter”, supporting the beginnings of a race war of apocalyptic nature. The phrase has been nicked from a song of the Beatles, twisting the words around.
