Charles Manson was denied parole Wednesday, the 511th time since 1978 that the former cult leader was ordered to remain in prison for a murderous rampage in 1969. In addition, four weeks were added to his multiple life sentences, to be served consecutively, as he was caught possessing contraband.
Manson was caught with a Sonicare electric toothbrush under his mattress and had used it several times before officers discovered it, said Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections. Manson is alleged to have brushed his teeth with the Sonicare and also used it as a flossing tool, it was revealed.
Prison officials added 30 days to Manson's sentence after the high-tech toothbrush was discovered and he will be counseled against dental hygiene and reprimanded, Thornton says.
