Former Charles Manson follower Patricia Krenwinkel, who is serving a life prison term for her role in the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders, has again been recommended for parole, state officials confirmed today.

Krenwinkel, 78, was preliminarily granted parole Tuesday at her 18th subsequent suitability hearing, according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

“All grants of parole are proposed decisions and become final only after a thorough and comprehensive review by the Board of Parole Hearings and the Governor,'” CDCR officials said in a statement.

AI....

It costs between $60,000 and $70,000 per year on average to house an elderly inmate in the United States, which is roughly double or triple the cost of housing a younger prisoner.

I guess they figure it’s cheaper to cut her loose.

Newsom will deny the parole and it will be left up to Gov. Hilton.

None of them were very attractive.

Leslie Van Houten wasn’t ugly, but still nothing to write home about.

“Does Hilton really have a shot?”

The current Betting Odds of Hilton winning and Charles Manson being paroled are even.

Honestly, paroling these Manson women would be cruel.

They've been institutionalized since they were teenagers and now they're geriatric old ladies. No family. No friends. No jobs. No money. No skills. No understanding of the modern world. They're likely to die homeless on the street.

They'd be Brooks Hatlen from Shawshank.

Gov. Spamburger here in Virginia is on a parole spree herself. Guys with life plus 200 years, serial rapists with 25 years left on the sentence, etc.

Some of those Manson girls were cute. Krenwinkel wasn’t one of them.

It’s the same thing as a hurderer and a massassin.

Psychopathic killers scare the crap out of me all the time... And I could care less that she’s older than dirt... She’s still dangerous.

Krenwinkle was dogfood

Some of the lesser known ones were cute

I’d give Van Houten a better than average looks rating

Sadie scores mid range

Women can be so batshit crazy

And impressionable

Such a sad chapter of cruel heartless murders
