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 |

other states. Would you accept
me at your place. I got 9

more. I'm a good worker &
I give you my word I'll
start no trouble. I've
been in prison hallways

lied to you & never rated.
That should count for
something some where.
Thank you
Charles Manson
