CHARLES MANSON'S SECRET PRISON BUSINESS (Has Become one of Richest Inmates)
New York Post ^ | August 2, 2009

CHARLES Manson secretly runs an autograph business out of his cell, peddling his signature to sicko collectors of crime memorabilia, a new book claims.

In "Five to Die," out this month from Thor Publishing, veteran journalist Ivor Davis claims the homicidal cult leader has become one of the richest inmates in the California corrections system by selling signed photos and other mementos he quietly smuggles out of Corcoran State Prison.

"Only he doesn't even sign the pictures. He has fellow inmates doing an assembly line of signatures for him. It shows you he's still manipulating people. It really boggles the mind," Davis told Page Six.

Maybe Phil Spector can become his new buddy. I hear Charlie sent a “note” to Phil asking to meet. A local radio talk show guy mentioned that, for Phil, the deep realization of just what you’ve got yourself into must have come when he got a note from Charlie Manson and it didn’t have a stamp on it!

Charlie was just ahead of his time. After all, he was just killing rich people. he would fit right in with the Obama philosophy.

Manson is no more a criminal than Ayers and Dorhn, so why not?

Manson was convicted in 1971 and given the death penalty. That sentence was struck down in 1972 and became life in prison. Rose Bird was not even the chief justice of the CA Supreme Court until 1978. Manson is eligible for parole every four of five years, but he will never be released because he will be shot the minute he sets foot out of prison. Hmmm...swift justice!

I thought there were laws that made it impossible to profit from the crime someone is incarcerated for.

I’d love put a bullet from a Remington Model 700 exactly where the swastika is tattooed on his forehead.
