Dzhokhar Tsarnaev: Steel Door On His New Prison Cell, Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Update

Boston Marathon bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was moved from his hospital room to a prison medical facility on Friday and is now locked inside of a 10-by-10-foot square cell with a solid steel door and an observation slot for food and medication.

Tsarnaev, 19, is being held at Federal Medical Center Devens, which is about 40 miles outside of Boston, said federal officials according to the Associated Press.  A spokesman for the facility, John Collauti, described the conditions of his cell as secure and authorities can easily monitor him.

Although Collauti wouldn't discuss specific details, he said that medical workers typically make  rounds each shift to monitor the inmates and guards are also keeping an eye on some of the cells with video surveillance, according to the AP.  Inmates in the more restrictive section do not have access to television or radio but are allowed to read books and other materials, he said.

"Really this type of facility is fully capable of handling him and it's not that much of an inconvenience because it's more or less business as usual," Collauti said, according to the AP.

The prison medical facility currently houses about 1,044 inmates and it does not assign medical condition rankings like most civilian hospitals do, according to CNN.   Collauti said that Tsarnaev has spoken with staff there about managing his health, however, he said he could not comment on whether Tsarnaev was speaking with investigators.

Tsarnaev has been charged with one count of using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction in the U.S. and one count of malicious destruction of property with an explosive device last Monday in the hospital, according to NBC News.

A source told NBC that Tsarnaev showed no reaction when prosecutor, William Weinreb, informed him that a possible penalty for these charges is death.  The source said that his heart monitor registered "no blip at all," when he was told of the possible consequences.

However, considering the injury-related trauma that Tsarnaev may have been under, this is no definite proof that he is entirely without fear or remorse.

"Tsarnaev has been less talkative since authorities read him his Miranda rights three days after his capture," CNN reports.  However, a U.S. Law enforcement official said that information that he has given investigators in two sessions of questioning has produced good leads.

"Tsarnaev's mother said the bombing allegations against her son are lies," the AP reports.

The prison medical facility provides specialized medical attention to inmates who are injured, and Tsarnaev will likely be moved elsewhere once his trial begins, according to Softpedia.
