Manson was rushed to a Bakersfield hospital three days ago for emergency medical treatment – where he has remained (picturing in his younger days, arriving for court)
‘It’s not going to get any better for him,’ they told the news outlet. ‘It’s just a matter of time.’
Manson’s health has been steadily declining for months. In January, he was reportedly hospitalized for severe intestinal bleeding, but doctors determined he was too weak for the necessary surgery and he was sent back to prison.
The 83-year-old has been behind bars for more than four decades after being locked up in 1969 when he and members of his cult, which he called ‘the family’ went on a murderous two-day rampage.
He and three of his followers, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkle and Leslie Van Houten killed seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, Wojciech Frykowski, Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, Steven Parent and Jay Sebring.
However some of his more than 100 infractions while in jail are very serious, and include things like assaulting staff members, trafficking narcotics, threatening to kill a police officer and possessing a cell phone. He is pictured left in 1989 and right in 2011

He had ordered his family members to slaughter Tate, who was eight-and-a-half months pregnant, and three of her friends at her home above Beverly Hills.
Stephen Parent was a fifth unfortunate victim that night. He had driven to the property to see if caretaker William Garreston wanted to buy his AM/FM Clock radio, and had stayed on for a beer at the guest house. He was shot multiple times when he wound down the window at the electric gate as he left.
The following night the Family butchered small business owners Leno and Rosemary La Bianca, in their home in Los Angeles.
The murders were carried out in upscale, mostly white neighborhoods of Los Angeles in order to blame the crimes on African Americans, in the hope of sparking what he termed a ‘Helter Skelter’ race war.
Sources in the California Department of Corrections gave the rap sheet to TMZ , and said that lately he has turned himself around and become a ‘model prisoner,’ likely due to old age and health issues. HE is pictured in 1969 during a preliminary hearing
And those infractions range from things as minor as refusing to save to as serious as battery on an inmate with a weapon or possession of a hacksaw blade. He is pictured being taken to jail in 1969 by a group of police officers
During the trial he was convicted of leading a cult in which disaffected young people living in a commune followed his orders and were ultimately turned into killers.

Manson, Atkins, Krenwinkle and Van Houten were convicted of murder and initially sentenced to death for the killings.
Manson, who was not actually present but ordered the killings, applied for parole in 2012 but was denied release and is not eligible to apply again until 2027.
He was hospitalized earlier this year suffering from intestinal bleeding.
