FIRST ON FOX — Eight federal inmates — once on death row for murders, including the killings of fellow prisoners, gang-related stabbings, and the slayings of two campers — have been transferred to a notorious "supermax" prison in Colorado, the Justice Department told Fox News Digital. The news comes as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi looks to crack down on the previous administration's sweeping clemency actions.
The eight former death row inmates were transferred Tuesday to the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, also known as "ADX," Justice Department officials confirmed.
They were among the 37 death row inmates whose sentences Biden commuted in late December — prompting criticism and complaints that the record clemency and commutation actions were done as a political "Hail Mary," and without proper vetting.
More of the death row inmates are expected to be moved to ADX, some within weeks, according to one individual familiar with the matter.
The 37 death row inmates commuted by Biden are all expected to be moved to the facility by "early next year," the Justice Department source told Fox News Digital.
The effort comes as Bondi and the Trump administration have sought to reverse some of the Biden administration's efforts on criminal justice reform for certain criminals, and instead moved to prioritize violent crime and cracking down on the nation's worst offenders.
Though a commutation cannot be fully reversed, Justice Department officials told Fox News Digital, Bondi has prioritized ways to penalize these individuals, in coordination with directives from Trump, and to ensure that the "conditions of confinement" are "consistent with the security risks those inmates present because of their egregious crimes, criminal histories, and all other relevant considerations," according to an earlier DOJ memo.

“Boys, the good news is that we have nice, private accommodations for you...”
I think Blondi got the phone call.
She got something, and I’m not complaining this time.
Out of the frying pan, into the air fryer.
"Though a commutation cannot be fully reversed..."
Even if the commutation was granted by an Autopen and not actually signed by POTUS?
“The 37 death row inmates commuted by Biden”
More like Biden’s Autopen.
“...though a commutation cannot be fully reversed”
Reversal of an Autopen hasn’t been tested yet.
Pawns of justice. Unbefitting.
The world must be imperfect.
Go figure.
Let’s hope she doesn’t cave in and go weak once the left gets triggered by this and starts attacking Bondi.
Is there a list of the 37?
It’s unbelievable how much Biden and the democrats SUCK!!
Since 1976, sixteen have been executed by the federal government. Trump accounts for 13 of them, executing one guy 4 days before he left office in January 2020.

Do the cells have a complimentary noose on the pillows?
I would prefer death.
Kind of curious why Biden’s pen-handlers would commute the sentences of two white supremacist nazis:
“Christopher Cramer and Ricky Fackrell stabbed to death fellow inmate Leo Johns. All three were members of a pagan white supremacy group called “Soldiers of the Aryan Culture.” Cramer and Fackrell claimed that their aim was to punish Johns for violating their group’s rules against drinking and gambling, but matters got out of hand. Both men had prior convictions for robbery and violence and in prison had assaulted other inmates (Fackrell was charged with murdering another inmate a few months later).”
Maybe they were cut some slack because they were pagan?
Yoshie Shiratori was a Japanese escape artist renowned for breaking out of prisons multiple times and was nicknamed “the man that no prison could hold”.
I doubt the dimwits today are like that.
Solace for the cons, “Stone Walls do not a Prison make,
Nor Iron bars a Cage”.
When Love with unconfinèd wings
Hovers within my Gates,
And my divine Althea brings
To whisper at the Grates;
When I lie tangled in her hair,
And fettered to her eye,
The Gods that wanton in the Air,
Know no such Liberty.
When flowing Cups run swiftly round
With no allaying Thames,
Our careless heads with Roses bound,
Our hearts with Loyal Flames;
When thirsty grief in Wine we steep,
When Healths and draughts go free,
Fishes that tipple in the Deep
Know no such Liberty.
When (like committed linnets) I
With shriller throat shall sing
The sweetness, Mercy, Majesty,
And glories of my King;
When I shall voice aloud how good
He is, how Great should be,
Enlargèd Winds, that curl the Flood,
Know no such Liberty.
Stone Walls do not a Prison make,
Nor Iron bars a Cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an Hermitage.
If I have freedom in my Love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such Liberty.
