A group of condemned prisoners, whose death sentences were commuted by President Biden, are suing the federal government over a planned transfer to the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility, known for its extreme isolation. The 21 complainants claim that the Trump administration is unfairly attempting to shift them to this harsh prison without due process. The move follows Biden's commutation of their sentences and Trump's directive to review their imprisonment conditions, reflecting a political clash surrounding death penalty enforcement and prisoner rights.
The 21 men, all of whom had their death sentences commuted by President Biden, are now fighting against a potential transfer to one of the harshest federal prisons.
The lawsuit argues that the Trump administration's actions reflect a deceptive procedure to move them to the supermax prison in Colorado, often described as an isolating environment.
