10 of the prisoners were transferred to one of the most restrictive maximum-security prisons in the US, an infamous facility in Colorado nicknamed "the Alcatraz of the Rockies" where every prisoner is kept in #SolitaryConfinement. 2 were taken to states where prosecutors have pledged to seek the #DeathPenalty against them again, in state court.

I suspect that, in addition to being a pedophile, Trump has a collection of snuff films.
@Nonilex Trump is just such a ginormous asshole.

Lets just put the current administration in ADX Florence and throw the key into the sewers
2 others face #DeathPenalty charges in Florida. And the rest are stuck in limbo, having been told to expect a move to the Colorado prison, named ADX Florence, at any moment. That limbo has driven one of the prisoners to try to kill himself, he told NPR [though the full article mentions several prisoners who are planning to die by suicide].
#Trump & AG #PamBondi have defended their treatment of the prisoners, saying the men deserve it because of their murder convictions. Some family members of people murdered by the prisoners support the transfer of the men to ADX.
But interviews conducted & documents obtained by NPR show the moves the #DOJ has taken to additionally punish the men violate current federal policy, & litigation claims those actions could be #unconstitutional.

Myehhh the worst of the worst deserve the most severe conditions.
"It's gravely damaging the way that people are being treated," said Brian Stull, a lawyer for the ACLU, who is representing 21 of the 37 prisoners in lawsuits filed against #Trump & the federal govt. "They're almost like pawns caught in the crossfire."
To send prisoners to ADX, federal rules were disregarded.
…By #law & according to current federal rules, the govt is required to make objective decisions about where prisoners should be transferred.
Ofcls do that by considering specific criteria, including the prisoners' location, security, programmatic needs, mental & physical health requirements & faith-based necessities.
…”ADX Florence general population units are designed for male inmates who have demonstrated an inability to function in a less restrictive environment without being a threat to others, or to the secure & orderly operation of the institution," per a 2006 #DOJ & #BOP program statement….
That's because the conditions at ADX are some of the most restrictive in the federal system. Unlike in other prisons, where #SolitaryConfinement is often reserved as a punishment for bad behavior & there are opportunities for prisoners to spend time in groups, in ADX, the prisoners are always confined alone & are required to stay inside cells no larger than a parking spot 22 to 24 hours a day.
