Manson Follower Rejects Parole Terms

Associated Press

ALDERSON, W.Va. - Sandra Good, a member of the Charles Manson family who served 10 years for mailing death threats to businessmen, refused to leave prison yesterday because she would be prohibited from associating with Manson or his other followers, officials said.

Ms. Good, who has a child by Manson, refused to accept a release certificate containing "a condition that she not associate with any members or former members of the Manson family," said Gwynne Sizer, warden at the Federal Correctional Institution for Women. "She has been an excellent prisoner in her 10 years here, but she remains very committed to Charlie Manson," said Dave Helman, the warden's executive assistant.

Ms. Good also objected to placement in a halfway house in Camden, N.J., officials said. Several times in the last month, Ms. Good has said she does not want to leave the prison, where she has been serving a 15-year sentence. She was convicted of sending death threats through the mail to corporate officials who she claimed were polluting the planet. Officials said they had no choice but to schedule her release because of the time off for good behavior she had accumulated.

Her rejection of the release terms requires the prison to continue holding her, Ms. Sizer said.

Ms. Good, 35, a former California surfer girl, has worked as a gardener at Alderson, the nation's only federal prison for women. Officials said her closest friend was Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, another member of the group that formed in the late 1960s under the leadership of Manson.

Ms. Fromme is serving a life sentence for attempting to assassinate then- President Gerald Ford in 1975. ''We're like nuns, working toward Earth balance. In a way, this place can be viewed as our convent," Ms. Good said earlier this month. "By staying inside where my family is, I keep myself outside of thoughts dedicated to money, power and approval."

Ms. Good has expressed a desire to see Manson again but has not indicated whether she would try to visit him in prison, Helman said. To do so, she would need permission from her parole officer, he said.
