Nuel Emmons who wrote "Manson In his Own Words" worked as a correspondent for the Ukiah Daily Journal mostly writing articles in the sports section on golf. He was an avid golfer. Later after his book on Manson came out he had a regular column in the UDJ about the happenings in and around the town of Nice in Lake county where he lived with his family.
This is an article written by Emmons on Manson a few years before the book came out. It tells of Manson getting a job in prison. I really got a good chuckle out of the quote from Manson.
