Michael Spengler, 38, died after being attacked by fellow inmate Miguel Espino, 31, at Salinas Valley State Prison, using an inmate-manufactured weapon.
Spengler had served two years of his life sentence for two murders, described as 'surprise ambushes' of his friends, according to the sentencing judge.
Espino has a violent history, including an attempted murder conviction for severely beating his father and setting fire to his mobile home.
The investigation into the attack on Spengler is ongoing, and Espino has been placed in restricted housing following the incident.
