On April 11, 2012, Manson was denied release at his twelfth parole hearing, which he did not attend. After his March 27, 1997, parole hearing, Manson refused to attend any of his later hearings. The panel at that hearing noted that Manson had a "history of [[Abusive power and control|controlling behavior]]" and "mental health issues" including [[schizophrenia]] and [[Paranoia#Paranoid social cognition|paranoid delusional disorder]], and was too great a danger to be released.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/04/charles-manson-quickly-denied-parole.html |title=Charles Manson Quickly Denied Parole |newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=April 11, 2012 |access-date=April 11, 2012 |url-status=deviated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120411181326/http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/04/charles-manson-quickly-denied-parole.html |archive-date=April 11, 2012 }}</ref> The panel noted that Manson had received 108 rule violation reports, had no indication of remorse, no insight into the causative factors of the crimes, lacked understanding of the magnitude of the crimes, had an exceptional, callous disregard for human suffering and had no parole plans.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cielodrive.com/charles-manson-parole-hearing-2012.php |title=Parole Hearing: Charles Manson 2012 |website=CieloDrive.com |access-date=November 4, 2017 |archive-date=August 7, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170807112149/http://www.cielodrive.com/charles-manson-parole-hearing-2012.php |url-status=live }}</ref>
