will likely delve into procedures at the most secure wing of the nation’s “supermax” prison, it was revealed in court Friday.
Prosecutors on the case – who are seeking the death penalty – intend to argue Saipov could still pose a “future danger” from behind bars, in part because of the threat of security breaches at ADX Florence, where he’ll be jailed. At a court hearing Friday, Saipov attorney Andrew Dalack argued prosecutors should be limited to referencing only issues that have occurred on the prison’s “H unit,” which houses terrorists and others under Special Administrative Measures, known as SAMs, by the federal Bureau of Prisons. , said they were allowed just one phone call a month, and that their every move was monitored at all times.
Assistant US Attorney Amanda Houle said prosecutors intend to elicit expert testimony about a prisoner, whose last name is “Petty,” who was not jailed on the unit. Houle was apparently referencing Ishmael Petty, a murderous bank robber convicted in 2015 of attacking three prison employees with a shank at ADX Florence.
