Bondi moves Biden‑commuted inmates to ADX supermax
The Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, transferred eight federal inmates to the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility (ADX) in Florence, Colorado this week; the men were among 37 death‑row prisoners whose sentences President Biden commuted in late December. DOJ officials say more of the commuted inmates will be moved to ADX, with all 37 expected to be transferred by 'early next year,' as the administration seeks to tighten confinement conditions for those judged especially violent.
