Scott Peterson has been moved from San Quentin State Prison, where he’s spent the past 17 years, to a prison that has yards for inmates with “sensitive needs.”
Peterson was transferred Friday to Mule Creek State Prison in the Amador County city of Ione, about 65 miles north of Modesto.
Peterson was taken off death row at San Quentin last November when he was transferred to the San Mateo County Jail ahead of resentencing. His death sentence for the murders of his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner, was overturned by the California Supreme Court in 2020 and he was resentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
