What prison would he go to?
It depends on the sentence and what the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) decides (see below). Death row is mostly at San Quentin (Marin county near SF). Otherwise he could go to Donovan (San Diego), Pleasant Valley (Chowchilla), Corcoran (Kings County) to name a few prisons that house some notorious lifers. The ones who are violent within prison can end up at the supermax Pelican Bay (Crescent City), but that’s not likely with CM.
Here’s the process:
Once sentenced to CDCR, the offender is sent to a reception center for processing and transfer to an institution. Processing includes computing a classification score based on such factors as length of sentence, stability, education, employment, and behavior during a prior incarceration.
The classification score determines the type of facility where the offender will be housed. This score may change over time based on individual behavior and specific case factors. Because of this change, an offender may be transferred to a different institution.
