Whitey Bulger’s final hours were described in detail for the first time in a Justice Department Inspector General report released Wednesday.
Bulger was moved to Coleman II federal prison in Florida, a facility known to be a safe place for government informants and other inmates who might need special protection, in 2014. He was placed in solitary in March 2018 for threatening a nurse.
“Hey, forgot to tell u Whitey B. the celebrity is coming here,” one inmate wrote in an email on Oct. 25. They had both been locked up at Hazelton for several years. The facility, known as Misery Mountain, was among the most violent in the federal prison system.Bulger was secured in his cell at 9 p.m. His cellmate was a New York man who was serving a 30-month sentence on a gun possession charge.
Bulger’s roommate left their cell at 6:16 a.m. Three minutes later, two inmates walked in, identified by federal prosecutors as Geas and DeCologero, and closed the door behind them.
