‘The million-dollar bomber’: Fury as Boston Marathon bomber’s prison canteen account tops $4,000 (in addition to his $26,000 trust fund) – as 30-year-old rots on death row in ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’, costing taxpayers over $1M

A former warden at the prison where the Boston Marathon bomber lives has criticized the killer for saving more than $24,000 in prison — including donations from sick strangers.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 30, has been on death row at Colorado’s ADMAX Florence – known as the ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’ – since his 2015 conviction for inciting the horrific April 15, 2013 mass shooting.

He has $4,000 in his prison canteen account, which can be used to buy various things like food and clothes from the prison store, and a $26,000 fund made up of donations from his sisters, lawyers and strangers.

Former Supermax guard Bob Hood has criticized Tsarnaev’s failure to pay the $101 million he owes victims while making significant savings himself as ‘offensive’.

“He came poor, and he should remain poor,” Hood said Boston Herald. ‘It’s sick that he has any sort of following… Why would he even get a crown?’

Three people were killed – Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and Lu Lingzi, 23 – and more than 260 runners were injured, including 17 people who lost limbs in the horrific attack

Hood added that the cost to taxpayers of keeping Tsarnaev in prison has also easily topped $1 million — excluding his as-of-yet-undisclosed legal tab.

“He’s the million-dollar bomber,” Hood told the Herald.

Meanwhile, Tsarnaev’s lawyer is moving to stop the Boston Feds from seizing his client’s $4,223.86 canteen account.

“He is neither a hoarder nor a spendthrift,” attorney David Patton wrote in legal documents attached to the appeal.

The lawyer added that his killer client ‘continues to receive unsolicited deposits from people he has never met’ but that he ‘has had no access’ to the money.

Patton said Tsarnaev earns $25 a month working as a cleaner at the prison and uses his canteen account to buy “commissary items such as allergy medicine, sweats needed to do proper outdoor work, food and stamps”.

He pays just $35 a month in restitution to victims – of which he owes $101 million. Patton said he has paid about $2,600 so far.

Tsarnaev also received a $1,400 Covid-19 relief payment given to all prisoners two years ago, but it has been ‘placed under administrative hold’ by the prison board.

Last month, a federal appeals court ordered the judge who presided over Tsarnaev’s 2015 trial to investigate whether two jurors were biased and should not have been seated.

Lawyers for Tsarnaev said one juror was told by a friend on Facebook to ‘get on the jury’ and send him ‘to jail where he will be taken care of’, while the other juror retweeted a Twitter post calling the killer for a ‘piece of trash.’

U.S. District Judge William Kayatta, writing for the majority, said that if the trial judge were to conclude that one of the jurors should have been disqualified, Tsarnaev would be entitled to a new penalty-phase trial to redetermine whether he should be sentenced to death .

“And even then, we emphasize once again that the only question in such a proceeding will be whether Tsarnaev will be executed; regardless of the outcome, he will spend the rest of his life in prison,” Kayatta wrote.

Along with his brother Tamarlan, Tsarnaev planted two pressure cooker bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.

Three people were killed – Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and Lu Lingzi, 23 — and more than 260 runners were injured, including 17 people who lost limbs.

Three days later, on April 18, the FBI released photos of the killer brothers, and the same night they shot MIT police officer Sean Collier, 27, while he was hunting them.

They were caught again by the Watertown police and were involved in another shootout in which two officers were seriously wounded and one, Dennis Simmonds, 28, died a year later.

Tamerlan was shot several times during the altercation, and Dzhokhar ran him over as he fled in a stolen car. He died soon after.
