Tex Watson became a Christian in prison. Bruce Davis and Susan Atkins became Born-Again Christians.

I'm glad they found religion, but I'd just assume they remain incarcerated. (Susan Atkins is dead; the other two are alive)

IIRC, I read an interview with Watson. He said that although he was sentenced to receive the death penalty, when the state he was in outlawed it, he was grandfathered into life without parole. The law didn’t go back that far, so only some of the death row inmates were saved. Watson expressed his gratitude, and went on in the interview to tell his conversion story and about his prison ministry.

Given the heinousness of the crime, life imprisonment without parole should mean exactly that.
