Among the most controversial of the final acts of Joe Biden's presidency was his commutations of the death sentences for more than three dozen convicted murderers on federal death row.

In an effort to ensure those "monsters" continue to serve hard time for their egregious crimes, Attorney General Pam Bondi is now transferring them to the nation's top "supermax" prison, according to Fox News.

Relatedly, Bondi is also assisting President Donald Trump in ending Biden's moratorium on federal executions and restoring the use of the death penalty as the ultimate punishment for and deterrent against violent and deadly capital crimes.

Biden commuted death sentences for dozens of murderers

With less than a month remaining for his tenure in office, former President Biden announced in late December 2024 that he had commuted the death sentences for 37 convicts on federal death row, and instead altered their sentences to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Biden "believes that America must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder -- which is why today’s actions apply to all but those cases," the Biden White House explained at the time.

"When President Biden came into office, his Administration imposed a moratorium on federal executions, and his actions today will prevent the next Administration from carrying out the execution sentences that would not be handed down under current policy and practice," the statement continued.

Biden's commuted killers transferred to supermax prison

Fox News reported that two federal inmates who formerly resided on death row before their executions were commuted last year have now been transferred to the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, commonly known as "ADX," which is the nation's only real "supermax" prison and houses some of the nation's most notorious criminals.

Those two transferred inmates will join eight other former federal death row occupants who were previously moved to the supermax prison by Bondi, beginning in September. The remaining 27 convicts who received clemency from the last president are expected to be similarly transferred to the ADX by no later than "early next year."

Unnamed Justice Department officials acknowledged to the outlet that Biden's commutations couldn't be reversed, but did note that Bondi has made it a priority to ensure that the "conditions of confinement" for those individuals are "consistent with the security risks those inmates present because of their egregious crimes, criminal histories, and all other relevant considerations."

In a statement to Fox News, Bondi said of the recent transfers, "Two more monsters who plotted and violently murdered innocent people will spend the rest of their lives in our country’s most severe federal prison."

"This Department of Justice will continue to seek accountability for the families blindsided by President Biden’s reckless commutations of 37 vicious predators," the attorney general added.

Federal death penalty restored

On President Trump's first day in office, he issued an executive order to restore the federal government's use of the death penalty as a means to help protect public safety, reversing the moratorium on federal executions that his predecessor had imposed in 2021.

"And on December 23, 2024, President Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 most vile and sadistic rapists, child molesters, and murderers on Federal death row: remorseless criminals who brutalized young children, strangled and drowned their victims, and hunted strangers for sport," Trump's order stated. "He commuted their sentences even though the laws of our Nation have always protected victims by applying capital punishment to barbaric acts like theirs."

As such, the newly sworn-in president declared at that time, "It is the policy of the United States to ensure that the laws that authorize capital punishment are respected and faithfully implemented, and to counteract the politicians and judges who subvert the law by obstructing and preventing the execution of capital sentences."
