Juan Villanueva, 51, was found dead in his cell about 0900 on Friday at Kern State Prison in Delano.  He was a convicted child rapist doing life.  His cellie, Ramon Escobar, 53, is doing life without for five murders plus he also copped to murdering his aunt and uncle in Texas.  

LWOP does not really exist in CA any more but typically parole authorities do not like people who plead guilty to multiple murders who also commit murders while in custody.  They regard it as an indication the prisoner is not serious about being rehabilitated.

There is no more rehabilitation.

With very few exceptions I am not sure there ever was. You can not compel a person to be rehabilitated. They have to be both ready and willing. Most only get there thru old age or infirmity.
