He's bleeding internally, plus he is "too weak for surgery". Sounds to me like he's dying.
Yet he's back in stir...in a cement cell, on a cot, etc., watched over by a turn-key. I don't get it.
Is he in a bad way, or is he not as ill as inferred in the article...just wondering.

I recall reading that Manson had previously refused surgery, then subsequently changed his mind. Perhaps he was informed that the surgery will not cure a terminal condition.
Simply a guess, his situation could be advanced colon cancer with the prison equivalent of Hospice services now.
