the dogs, which are now being cared for by inmates.

the most infamous cult in American history live on

Charles
Manson, the psychopathic career criminal who inspired a murderous cult
following and brought a grisly end to the utopian dreams of the 1960s, has
spent the past 47 years locked up in California. Manson, born Charles Milles
Maddox in 1934 to a 16-year-old mother, had already spent half his life in jail
when he orchestrated one of the most infamous crimes of the 20th Century.
According
to biographer Jeff Guinn, Manson had been a talented manipulator since grade
school, convincing classmates – mostly girls – to attack people he didn't like.
He managed to escape blame for their actions, and while he would sometimes turn
violent himself, it was a 1947 theft that initially sent him into reform
school. He was in and out of incarceration for the next 20 years for everything
from pimping to false checks.
