U.S. Marshals Deliver Zacarias Moussaoui to “ADMAX” Prison

Convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui has been transported to prison by a team of Deputy U.S. Marshals from the Special Operations Group (SOG).

Moussaoui was removed from the Alexandria (VA) Detention Center late Friday night. He was then flown to Colorado on a small jet from the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System, more commonly known as “Con Air,” operated by the U.S. Marshals.

Moussaoui was delivered by the SOG deputy marshals early this morning to the U.S. Penitentiary, Administrative Maximum facility, in Florence, Colo. He has now begun serving his sentence of life without the possibility of release.

Planning for the one-way trip began with his sentencing on May 5, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
