A lawsuit has been filed by 21 condemned prisoners, whose death sentences were commuted by Biden, against the federal government. They claim the Trump administration is unfairly planning to transfer them to the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, known for its extreme isolation conditions. This suit arises after Biden commuted the sentences of 37 death row inmates, with Trump subsequently advocating for stricter imprisonment conditions consistent with their crimes. The lawsuit emphasizes ongoing tensions surrounding death penalty policies in the U.S.
The 21 men who joined the lawsuit are among 37 prisoners who had their death sentences commuted by Mr. Biden in one of his last acts in office.
They allege the Trump administration is conducting a deceptive process to transfer them to the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colo.
