For those asking the judge gave a non-binding recommendation that he go to FCI Petersburg I in Virginia. If the public safety factor is not waived, the judge recommended he go to USP Tuscon in Arizona or USP Colemale II in Florida.
None of these are supermax?
Wikipedia says they are "High Security"
There's is only one so-called supermax facility, which is ADX Florence.
Ok, so why is everyone talking about him go to a supermax prison. What are the chances of him going there?
People are talking about ADX Florence and "supermax," because people are really ignorant on this forum, and aren't really interested in knowing about the law and what's actually going on with Ulbricht's proceedings.
I think there are zero chances of him getting there. He has no history of personal violence and no history of in-prison violence and no prison-based support system (i.e. no prison gang).
