FLORENCE, Colo — The Department of Justice on Thursday announced it would resume executions of federal death row inmates for the first time since 2003.
According to deathpenaltyinfo.org, there are currently 62 federal death row prisoners facing capital punishment. Among them is Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who in 2015 was convicted of planting bombs at the 2013 Boston Marathon.
Tsarnaev, 26, is currently being held at U.S. Penitentiary "ADX Florence" near Florence, Colorado, better known as the "Alcatraz of the Rockies."
