Ex-Death Row Inmates Sue for Post-Commutation Prison Conditions

 Patriot Spotlight -21 prisoners whose death sentences were commuted by former President Biden are suing the Trump administration over planned transfers to the nation’s most restrictive prison facility.

  • The lawsuit alleges Trump officials conducted “sham hearings” to justify moving all 37 commuted prisoners to ADX Florence, Colorado, bypassing normal individualized assessment procedures.
  • Trump’s executive order directed officials to ensure these prisoners are “imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes,” following Biden’s last-minute commutations that prevented federal executions.
  • The ACLU argues these categorical transfers represent unconstitutional political retribution rather than legitimate security concerns.
