Not long after the murders, [[The Family |the Family]] were all caught and arrested for auto theft.

While in jail, Atkins befriended two middle-aged career criminals to whom she confessed her participation in the Tate/LaBianca murders, telling the women that she had stabbed Tate and tasted Tate's blood. She was reported to the authorities and this, combined with information from other sources, led to the arrests of Atkins and others involved in the Tate/LaBianca murders (Van Houten, Krenwinkel, Kasabian, and Watson).

From 1974 onwards, Atkins stated she was a born-again Christian after seeing a vision of [http://real-life-heroes.wikia.com/wiki/Jesus_Christ Jesus Christ] in her cell. She became active in prison programs, teaching classes and received two commendations for assisting in emergency health interventions with other inmates, one of which was a suicide attempt. Atkins published her autobiography, ''Child of Satan, Child of God'', in 1977 in which she recounted the time she spent with Manson and the family, her religious conversion, and her prison experiences, (although she pocketed the money she made from it without a second thought for the victim's families).
