Question by Littlemswright: Who says money and fame can’t buy you happiness?
LOS ANGELES – Music legend Phil Spector has been assigned to a “sensitive needs facility” in California’s largest state prison to serve his sentence for murdering an actress.

Spector was taken Monday to the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison at Corcoran, where 6,919 other inmates are housed, corrections spokeswoman Terry Thornton said.

I start University in about a month and will be a Psychology major. (Bachelor of Arts)    Read more...
