Danny Masterson has been transferred to the maximum-security prison that once housed cult leader Charles Manson.
The “That ’70s Show” alum, who was convicted last year for two rapes he committed in 2003, was moved from North Kern State Prison in Delano, Calif., to Corcoran State Prison in the state’s Central San Joaquin Valley, according to multiple reports.
A spokesperson for the prison did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for confirmation on the actor’s location.
Founded in 1988, Corcoran State Prison is known for holding some of America’s most infamous criminals, including convicted murderer Manson from 1989 until his death in 2017, according to the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation.
It also housed Sirhan Sirhan, the assassin of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, until he was moved in 2013 to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County’s South Bay area.
Masteron, 47, was initially being held at the LA County Men’s Central Jail but began his classification and reception process at Northern Kern State Prison on Dec. 31, 2023.

The move came a week after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo denied him bail, reasoning that now that he has “no wife to go home to,” he “has every incentive to flee and little reason to return to state prison to serve out the remainder of his lengthy sentence should his appeal be unsuccessful.”
His estranged wife, Bijou Phillips, filed for divorce less than two weeks after he was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison in September 2023.
The pair share a minor daughter, Fianna. The “Ranch” actor agreed to give Phillips full custody of the 9-year-old following his sentencing.
Masterson will reportedly stay in Corcoran State Prison’s Level IV housing, which offers the most security at the facility. He will be eligible for parole in 20 years.
He was originally arrested in 2020 and charged with raping three women between 2001 and 2003.
