I covered Pleasant Valley State Prison in Coalinga, California back in July, but we're going to bring it up again because it is where Robert F. Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan has been transferred to from Corcoran recently.Sirhan is now 65 years old, and remains a target in the prison system. He had been in protective housing at Corcoran after being single out as a potential terrorist threat. He had been in isolation for 6 years, and was concerned about his safety at Pleasant Valley. At Pleasant Valley, he would still have his own cell but would interact with more inmates than at Corcoran.
Pleasant Valley is a minimum to medium security prison, unlike the minimum to maximum security Corcoran. Pleasant Valley State Prison is grossly overcrowded.
