Ross Ulbricht has moved to a new Prison (USP Tuscon)

After almost 1/3 of a year spent in solitary confinement aka 24 hour lock-down, aka Administrative Segregation, Ross was moved to Oklahoma FTC for about a week, and has now been moved to USP Tuscon. While it's still a high security prison like his last home in Florence, USP Tuscon was also Ross' 2nd choice for a permanent prison after he was sentenced. This is because Tuscon has a high percentage of sex offenders receiving treatment there, making it much safer than a regular high security prison for a person like Ross who's not a sex offender.

At and immediately after sentencing he had asked the court to waive the Public Safety Factor part of his BOP security designation which automatically put him in a high security prison, instead hoping for FCI Petersburg, which is a medium security prison, and somewhat close to his extended family. But his 2nd choice was USP Tuscon, so he should hopefully be content for the time being.

His mother mentioned that the BOP may be able to put him into a medium security prison after 7-8 years of having a good prison record, so hopefully that will come to pass as well.
