West Virginia State Penitentiary
Moundsville, West Virginia

On March 10, 1983, the West Virginia State Penitentiary received a letter from Charles Manson.  The letter requested permission to transfer to that prison.

In late 2004, Lori Baker visited the former prison and took the following photographs of the Manson display.  Thanks, Lori, for sharing!

Dear Sir.  I was razed
in McMechen & Wheeling & worked
at the race track under
big Bill & Charlie Stoneman
who put them big stones at
the prison & on the road.  You
may know some of my ken folks
God knows they been enough
of us in & out of your place.

I'm a beenie(?) brother from
way back.  Calif prison people
had me in the hole for 14
years.  They done told a pack
of lies & built up so much
fear that there is fear of
what they made up to
start.  Frist time I steeped

   

in your (????????) 4 years (???)
& Calif has a transfer tryp(?) with
other states.  Would you accept
me at your place.  I got 9
lifes & don't want out no
more.  I'm a good worker &
I give you my word I'll
start no trouble.  I've
been in prison hallways
over 30 years & never
lied to you & never rated.
That should count for
something some where.

Thank you
Charles Manson

1.  Will you accept me.  If
so I may git there on them
old CCC roads that we
built for you a while ago.

I can't seem to git no mercy
from Calif.
