Dozens of prisoners who were on federal death row but had their sentences commuted under former President Biden will be moved to supermax prisons, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.

Biden, just a month before leaving office, commuted the sentences of 37 people on federal death row, moving the classification from execution to life without the possibility of parole. 

“We are now moving the inmates who were on death row— who Joe Biden or the autopen commuted their sentences off of death row we’re moving them to supermax facilities where they will be treated like they’re on death row for the rest of their lives,” Bondi said in the Oval Office, standing beside President Trump.

Biden, when he announced the commutations in late last December, said he is “more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level.” Some of those pardoned include: Billie Jerome Allen, who was sentenced to death in 1998; Carlos David Caro, who has been on death row for more than 15 years; and Len Davis, who has been on death row for more than 25 years.

Trump on Thursday had just signed a memo that directed Bondi and U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro, whom Trump appointed, to implement the death penalty in Washington, D.C., prompting the her to announce the move to supermax prisons.

“Death penalty in Washington, you kill somebody or if you kill a police officer, law enforcement officer, death penalty. And hopefully there won’t be that,” Trump said.
