Maximum security for rape?
Likely maximum security for being rich and famous and thus a high escape risk.
Also high risk of slipping on a bar of soap, or tripping on shoelaces etc.
Are they allowed to have shoe laces?
It says he'll be in level 4 general population. I found the California corrections department manual which says one pair of tennis shoes with "shoe laces white only" are allowed for level 4 gen pop, as well as SHU and psychiatric, but not allowed for intake or ad-seg.
That makes no sense. You think he can afford a higher-quality wall chisel or something? The rich usually get lower security because they would lose access to their wealth if they escaped from prison. Less relevant in Masterson's case, since he might be in prison the rest of his life, regardless. He's already lost everything.
Figure it has more to do with his celebrity status
That's the correct explanation. Michael Jace, former star on The Shield (who murdered his wife in 2014) is also serving his life sentence at Corcoran. They're both considered "high profile" inmates and Corcoran State Prison's Level IV housing and protective custody units are set up to handle these type of inmates whose fame and notoriety make it dangerous for them to be in gen pop.
Other notable inmates: Charles Manson, Rodney Alcala (The Dating Game Killer), and Sirhan Sirhan (assassinated RFK)
Perhaps better known for his role in Murder, She Wrote: The Last Free Man - you can't make this shit up.
Damn that's wild. Seems like it could be an interesting story.
Yeah “envy” is an odd word choice, I’m not sure why they went with that. As far as my understanding goes he was just a garden variety domestic abuser who escalated to the point of murdering his wife in a fit of rage. It’s not that interesting, just another senseless DV tragedy.
Oh. That's a lot less interesting than I thought.
People get jail cred for beating the shit out of celebs. Couple that with the fact that most sexual crimes get you beat up anyways.
Pretty violent rapes involving firearms
or maybe scientology would love to finish him off and he knows too much?
