Charles Manson back in prison after reported hospital stay

Cult leader Charles Manson was back in a central California prison on Saturday after a reported hospital stay for an unspecified medical problem.

Manson, 82, was at California state prison, Corcoran, said Jeffrey Callison, a spokesman for the state department of corrections and rehabilitation.

“We never stated he was anywhere else,” Callison said in an email. “Medical privacy laws do not allow (the department) to discuss inmates’ medical issues, if any.”

The department has declined to comment on reports from TMZ and the Los Angeles Times that earlier in the week Manson was taken to a hospital in Bakersfield, 60 miles south of the prison.

While the prison has medical facilities, California prisoners generally are sent to outside hospitals if they need “surgical services, emergency care, or diagnostic services of an acute nature”, Joyce Hayhoe, a spokeswoman for the federal receiver who controls prison medical care, said on Tuesday.

I can't imagine being a medical professional having to take care of somebody like that. It must be difficult.

7. I once cared for three people convicted of homicide in one day. And I didn't even work

in a prison.

You don't show fear. You maintain a polite, humane, but professional stance.

2. But Trump is still on the loose.

3. Manson has to prepare for his new position under Trump as the head of all federal prisons.

14. Hard to tell whether the interview at DRUMPF Tower went well or not, so returned to prison.

Or he just got a jump ahead of the rest of the DRUMPF nominees in the DRUMPF Junta.

4. So what Trump cabinet post is Charlie best suited for?

Now that he's tanned, rested and ready. Remember, Charlie carved a swastika in his forehead nearly 50 years ago -- and today's Hitler-loving alt-right boys haven't the insane balls to do that.

Psychos just aren't what they used to be.

6. He could be Trump's Attorney General.

8. Perfect choice! *bangs gavel* Next!

Based on what's actually happening, this wouldn't be much of a stretch!

9. The only problem I can see is Trump's objection to facial hair.

Other than that, its a good fit.

10. I said Surgeon General before, and I'm sticking with it

He can speak out on mental health issues, and with his broad experience in the subject be immensely credible.

5. Proof Satan is in charge: 2016 took all these great people from us and kept Charles Manson.

12. Die already. Seriously.

[EL34x4]

13. It'll be soon.

Article I read earlier said he was sent back to prison because he was too far gone to be treated.
