SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The California man sentenced to life
in prison for kidnapping, raping and holding Jaycee Dugard captive
for 18 years will have some notorious neighbors in prison.
The California Department of Corrections said Thursday that
Phillip Garrido will be housed in Corcoran State Prison's
Protective Housing Unit for inmates whom officials believe wouldn't
be safe in the general population.
The unit is the longtime home of 1960s cult killer Charles
Manson. Other inmates include John Albert Gardner III, who pleaded
guilty last year to raping and killing two teens in San Diego
County. The unit once housed convicted Robert F. Kennedy assassin
Sirhan Sirhan.
Garrido arrived Thursday at Corcoran. The department says his
wife, Nancy Garrido, began serving her decades-long sentence
Wednesday at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla.
