DeAngelo moves to Corcoran State Prison

February 18, 2021 By Alice

Joseph James DeAngelo, Jr Grid AdSJoseph James DeAngelo Jr. aka the Golden State Killer (now 75 years old) has found his forever home at Corcoran State Prison.

The Sun Gazette reports that Mr. DeAngelo will remain in the Protective Housing Unit. It is a section for prisoners who cannot be housed in the general population because they need ‘special protection.’ It is a relatively quiet unit as none of these prisoners want to be transferred to a less well-guarded section of the prison.

After his sentencing in August of last year, he stayed at the Sacramento County Jail until Nov. 3, 2020. He then moved to North Kern State Prison. After evaluation, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCH) decided on Corcoran State Prison where he has been since Jan 26, 2021.

In the summer of 2020, Mr. DeAngelo plead guilty to 13 murders, 13 kidnappings, 62 rapes, and 161 other uncharged crimes in the cases of 61 uncharged victims. In doing so, he avoided the death penalty. Joseph James DeAngelo, Jr is known as the Golden State Killer, the Original Night Stalker, the East Area Rapist, the Diamond Knot Killer, and more. He is a former police officer.

“The court is not saying that Mr. DeAngelo does not deserve to have the death penalty imposed. It merely means the court feels it will never come to pass,” Judge Michael Bowman said. “Mr. DeAngelo will spend the rest of his natural life and ultimately meet his death confined behind the walls of a state penitentiary.”

Author Notes

I write about old, unsolved cases from the pre-DNA era as they need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave the active investigation of these cases to professionals.

Posts include homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to these cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme and research. It remains my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the about page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,
