Spengler had been transferred from L.A. County to SVSP in Aug. 2022 to serve a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for first- and second-degree *******.

Espino was only recently transferred from Riverside County in Feb. 2024 to serve life with the possibility of parole for attempted first-degree *******, inflicting great bodily injury and the personal use of a dangerous or deadly *******, aggravated mayhem, arson of an inhabited structure, as well as felony arson violation with special circumstances.

The 31-year-old has been placed in restrictive housing pending the outcome of an investigation into the ******* by SVSP Investigative Services Unit and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office.
