In an exclusive interview, prison guard Darren Monahan shared chilling insights into Richard Ramirez, the notorious “Night Stalker,” who terrorized California with a series of home invasions and murders in the mid-1980s. Ramirez, sentenced to death in 1989, was known for his unsettling demeanor, often speaking as if someone else committed his crimes.Monahan revealed that despite being kept in protective custody, Ramirez was eventually permitted to enter the prison yard. However, just minutes after arriving, he was stabbed—though not seriously injured—and quickly removed for medical clearance. The attacker’s identity remains unknown, but officials speculated the assault was more about gaining notoriety than racial motives.Unlike inmates such as Charles Manson, who were generally left alone, Ramirez’s presence in the yard sparked immediate violence. Monahan’s account underscores the dangers high-profile criminals face even inside prison walls.
