ADX
Mark Bezy and John Oliver testified about restrictive housing, communications controls, and conditional progression at ADX, the administrative maximum prison in Florence, Colorado. Judy Clarke argued that confinement there offered severe punishment and security, while prosecutors emphasized that lifelong ADX or H-unit placement and continued special administrative measures were not guaranteed. During sentencing preparations, Steven D. Mellin identified ADX as a possible transfer destination but said the destination remained unknown.
