Should This Movie Be Shown in Prison to Tex Watson and Other Surviving Manson Killers?


Tex is still alive...I think he got married and had kids with an "outside the prison woman." (One of those nutcases who come to love incarcerated killers.)

And is not at least one of the women killers still alive?

So..show them the movie. They might find the ending very interesting.

No
They murdered a bunch of people and an unborn baby

Bread, water and a steel cot is all they deserve

SPOILERS


...but they might squirm a little watching how they end up in this movie..brutally killed, failing to kill Sharon Tate et al...and presented as pretty stupid people.

I understand your point but I respectfully disagree ecarle

It's just my opinion but let's only allow the vermin to sit in a tiny, dark and cold cement box stewing in their own regrets until the reaper comes calling

Some criminals don't deserve to know a thing about the outside, they only deserve decades of hellish loneliness to consider the tragedy they had a hand in

OK...

...and remember this irony

Manson and his original gang of killers all got the death penalty originally, but a change in Caifornia law got them all commuted to life sentences. Then the death penalty was brought back(via a ballot initiative) so death row prisoners exist in California again.

Except: there are rarely executions in California -- decades apart - and the newly elected Governor refuses to implement the death penalty, ever.

So...these Manson folks WILL just rot in their cells....

I'm aware of the irony of it all...it's a ridiculous situation

I do not support the death
penalty, around the world we've given an innocent man 'The Lightening Ride' or the 'Necktie' on too many occasions...sickening mistakes we can never change...

Let all the monsters rot from age in tiny dark cells

I call bullshit on letting the animals get married, have 'visits,' and receive any sort of outside communication

I'm going to say no. Just showing them people remember and make films like this - especially with the twisty ending - might please them.

When I last looked into it Leslie Von Houton, Patricia Krewnwinkal and Tex Watson have claimed to be remorseful and rehabilitated for some decades. Susan Atkins died several years ago from cancer.

It's very difficult for me to believe that anyone capable of the acts they did could ever be fully rehabilitated since they all seem to campaign unsuccessfully for parole every time they come up for it. It seems if anyone was truly remorseful they wouldn't think they even deserved parole.
Sometimes people can do things so horrible that there is no true redemption in this life.

None are living in a dark hole and are very active in the prison system and will no doubt know about this movie and already do or will get word about how this film ends.
At some point we'll probably hear about their reaction.
