where are the turpin parents

David and Louise Turpin are both serving long prison sentences in California and remain incarcerated as of early 2026.

Where the Turpin parents are now

  • Both parents pleaded guilty in 2019 to multiple felony counts, including torture and false imprisonment, for abusing their 13 children in Perris, California.
  • They each received sentences of 25 years to life in state prison, meaning they will be eligible for parole only after serving at least 25 years, and could remain imprisoned for life.

Louise Turpin

  • Louise Turpin, now in her late 50s, is housed at the California Institution for Women in Corona, California, according to state prison records and recent reporting in 2026.
  • Very little detail about her day-to-day life in prison is publicly available, beyond the fact that she is serving her life term there.

David Turpin

  • David Turpin, now in his mid‑60s, was originally incarcerated at California State Prison, Corcoran, which has held several high-profile inmates in the past.
  • Around February 2024, he was transferred to a different, undisclosed California prison facility because of “safety and security concerns,” and his exact current location is not publicly disclosed for those reasons.

Why information is limited

  • Because this is a high‑profile abuse case, authorities tightly control information about both the parents and the children, citing victim‑protection and security concerns.
  • Public updates tend to surface only through official statements, court documents, or major news features, like recent coverage tied to new TV specials revisiting the case.
