Florence

Nine days later, he was sentenced to 13 life terms, more than four centuries behind bars.

He was sent to Administrative Maximum Facility near Florence, Colorado, a prison built for the most dangerous men alive.

Casso said, "'I help them and I get life without parole.

This is really a f***ing joke.' For most of the world, it wasn't.

He's gone through, I think, most of his appeals.

He's sitting in Supermax in Florence, Colorado right now, awaiting death row or he's on death row he's awaiting the death penalty not exactly sure when that i kind of lost track of the case in terms of like when when he would be put to death and and if he's got any more appeals i thought he got i thought most of them are are done

Wow.

Okay, so FBI, dad, and now podcaster, who is putting together a matchmaking podcast kind of using your FBI chops to now matchmake people.

The federal prison system has five different security categories going from minimal all the way through to administrative.

So there's minimal, low, medium, high, and then finally administrative security classifications, which would include places like, um, Florence, Colorado, uh, uh, a maximum security prison that I, I know quite well.

Now, so you're saying quite cushy, but it would depend very much which federal institution Mangione was gonna be held in, uh, because he's...

Given that he's committed, um, the equivalent of murder, he's not gonna be held in a minimum or low or medium, uh, federal facility.

Quite apart from him being good-looking, he's a hot felon.

Why are so many people talking about, uh, Luigi Mangione? Now, Richardson's interesting as an author because Richardson himself spent over a decade writing to Ted Kaczynski.

And remember I talked about Florence, Colorado, uh, when I said, you know, that's the maximum security of federal prisons.

Um, so Kaczynski was in Florence, Colorado.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would prefer to be in Guantanamo than Supermax.

If he cuts a deal, he's tried to cut a deal where he wouldn't go to Supermax, which you probably know is in Florence, Colorado, the other Florence.

His nephew's in there.

His nephew's in there.

In fact, I had a panel that I spoke in in Minnesota after the trial came out and said that he had changed his view and voted against it.

But Sally is still in life in what is known as Supermax Penitentiary in Florence, Colorado, where he worked basically, you know, spies and terrorists and worse and worse are put in isolation for fear that they can either convey information or hurt somebody else.

And I think that's a fairly fitting end.

So we've talked a little bit about KSM.

Answer, correct.

Question, all right, so Redacted began his career with BOP in Florence, Colorado in 2005.

In 2014, he was transferred to the Metropolitan Detention Center, MDC, in Brooklyn to captain at MCC, his current position.

He gets cut off by Darden.

It says where he was made deputy captain in 2015.

In 2018, Redacted was promoted to captain at MCC, his current position, where he oversees security for the entire building.

Answer, well, yeah, there was a little bit missing there because, yeah, I entered on duty and I started my career in Florence.

However, I left Florence in 2009 and that's when I went to Pollock, FCC Pollock.

By the time Michael admitted the truth, the driver had already completed his sentence, but his family still fought to clear his name.

Michael Swango is still alive today, held at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado.

He was convicted of four murders, but almost no one who studies this case believes that's the real number.

James B. Stewart, whose book Blind Eye remains the definitive account, linked Michael to around 35 deaths and 20 non-fatal poisonings.

Well, he's already got life without parole.

But the one thing he was really asking for was that he really, really doesn't want to be transferred to the super max prison in Florence, Colorado.

Why? Because it's cold there.

He wants to stay in Guantanamo because the weather's better and he can play soccer and he couldn't walk around his cage and get some exercise and they have palm trees and you can see the beach in the distance.
