Tsarnaev Transported to Federal Prison in Colorado

Convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was flown out of Massachusetts Thursday to a federal prison in Colorado, just one day after he was formally sentenced to death.

Tsarnaev was transported to Worcester Airport and then taken to the Bureau of Prison’s facility in Florence, Colorado, prison spokesman Edmund Ross confirmed.

Tsarnaev’s new prison is part of the ADX supermax complex. ADX houses inmates in the federal prison system who are deemed the most dangerous of their kind. A slew of convicted terrorists are currently being held there.

U.S. District Court Judge George O’Toole Jr. ruled Wednesday that Tsarnaev be put to death in Terre Haute, Indiana. It’s not known when he’ll be taken to the death row unit at the U.S. Penitentiary.
