Death row inmates commuted by Biden to be moved to supermax prisons

Attorney General Bondi is relocating eight violent former death row inmates to the ADX supermax in Colorado, with all 37 commuted inmates expected to be housed there by early next year.

  • Attorney General Pam Bondi has begun transferring eight former death row inmates to the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility , Florence, Colorado, on Tuesday.
  • Last year, President Joe Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 people, prompting Attorney General Pam Bondi to issue a memo shortly after confirmation to `restore a measure of justice`, Bondi said.
  • Many transferred were convicted of first-degree murder and violent offenses, including killings of fellow prisoners, while ADX enforces 23-hour solitary confinement described by the ACLU earlier this year as `maximum sensory deprivation and human isolation`.
  • The Justice Department says more relocations are expected, with remaining prisoners transferred to ADX in the coming months and by early next year, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
  • Amid criticism, the move reflects the Trump administration's effort to reverse Biden-era clemency and reprioritize violent-crime enforcement, while the ACLU has sued, calling transfers `unconstitutional` and `vindictive`.
