Danny Masterson Transferred from Maximum Security Prison to California Men’s Colony
Danny Masterson, the actor famous for his role in “That ’70s Show,” has been relocated from Corcoran State Prison to California Men’s Colony, according to records from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The move took place on February 16, marking Masterson’s transfer from a maximum security facility to a male-only state prison in San Luis Obispo, California.
The California Men’s Colony, classified as a minimum and medium security prison, provides various educational and self-improvement programs aimed at rehabilitation. These programs include cognitive behavior therapy, substance abuse education, anger management, and family relationship counseling, among others.
Masterson’s transfer follows a previous relocation to Corcoran State Prison in January, where notorious cult leader Charles Manson was once housed. This move occurred after a state judge denied Masterson bail pending his appeal, citing concerns about the actor being a flight risk.
Convicted of raping two women, Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison. Despite his appeal, which is pending, the judge deemed him likely to remain in custody for decades, emphasizing the seriousness of his crimes and the lack of mitigating factors, such as his recent divorce from actress Bijou Phillips.
Masterson’s imprisonment and legal battles have garnered significant attention, with observers noting the severity of his sentence and the impact of his actions on his victims. His parole eligibility is set for July 2042, when he will be 66 years old.
As Masterson continues to navigate the legal system, his transfer to California Men’s Colony marks a new chapter in his incarceration journey. The move underscores the ongoing efforts to address his crimes and provide avenues for rehabilitation within the correctional system.
