veteran warden for the California
Institute for men Kenneth Luger told
onion reporters today that throughout
his tenure he has seen three generations
of the moat family come through his
prison and had the rare pleasure of
getting to know each and every one of
them I still remember when the first
moak boy Earl walked through our gates
back in 1972 for armed robbery then his
brother Brent came in for assault and
battery and before you know it Brent's
son Billy is in here too hell I even
remember the first time he was tried as
an adult seems like every a couple years
there's a new group of moats in the
cafeteria laughing one minute and
smashing another prisoner's head into a
table the next you can always tell a
moak boy a nostalgic Luger said he still
remembers the various cell blocks every
member of the family had stayed in while
in the California Institute and could
even recollect the various beatings and
murder attempts the moats had
participated in while behind bars this
is the solitary confinement cell we
threw py moad in in 1992 after he tried
to stab a guard with a plastic Shard he
sharpened from a broken meal tray he's
just like his
grandfather but you know I think Earl
would usually use a shiv you know I can
only hope I'll be around long enough to
see the next three generations moads
come through that would really be
something for more on this story check
