He keeps getting money from leftists who think he is a hero and witless girls who think he is handsome. And because the prison officials are desperately afraid of being called “Islamophobic,” the money has not been confiscated.
“‘The million-dollar bomber’: Fury as Boston Marathon bomber’s prison canteen account tops $4,000 (on top of his $26,000 trust fund) – as 30-year-old rots on death row in ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’ that’s cost taxpayer over $1M,” by Laura Parnaby, DailyMail.com, April 16, 2024:
A former warden at the prison where the Boston Marathon bomber is living has slammed the killer for saving more than $24,000 in jail – 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 mass casualty event on April 15, 2013.
He has $4,000 in his prison canteen account, which can be used to purchase various items like food and clothing from the jailhouse shop, and a $26,000 fund comprising donations from his sisters, lawyers, and strangers.
Former Supermax warden Bob Hood has slammed Tsarnaev’s failure to pay the $101 million he owes victims while making considerable savings of his own as ‘offensive’.
‘He came in indigent, and he should remain an indigent,’ Hood told the Boston Herald. ‘It’s sick that he has any kind of following… Why would he even get a penny?’
Hood added that the cost to taxpayers of keeping Tsarnaev in prison has also easily eclipsed $1 million – excluding his undisclosed legal tab to date.
‘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 hoarding funds nor spending profligately,’ attorney David Patton wrote in legal documents attached to the appeal.
The attorney added that his killer client ‘continues to receive unsolicited deposits from people whom he has never met’ but that he ‘has not had access’ to the money.
Patton said Tsarnaev earns $25 per month working as a cleaner in the prison, and that he uses his canteen account to buy ‘commissary items such as allergy medication, sweat clothes needed to do outdoor orderly work, food, and stamps’.
He pays just $35 each month in restitution for the victims – of which he owes $101 million. Patton said he has paid around $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 Board of Prisons. …

Among so many more pertinent questions about this reward stay that the Bomber has got; why? why are prisoners given money for Covid Relief???? Prison is not supposed to be a country club….

Just this month on April 15, 2324 . it’s been now just over eleven years since that horrendously evil murderous and maiming jihad bombings at the Boston Marathon which occurred of April 15, 2013.
Those two jihadist brothers by their vicious harmful and deadly Islamic terrorist bombings were engaging in not a hijacked or warped type of Islam but a Quran based Islam.
For the Quran instructs devout Muslims in Surah 9:123. “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelieves who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…”
Bombs are a very effective way of showing the “disbelievers “ in Boston “harshness.”
Likewise, the Quran also instructs Muslim who are committed to Islam in Surah 4:47. “When you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make as great slaughter among them…”
The terrible harsh reality is that two bombs are able to create. For “disbelievers”, a much greater “slaughter among them” than a sword can.

Yep. Big Bubba would probably give him a good “wudu” scrub-down, and then play hide the salami up his cheeky little bum.
Walter Sieruk says
Some time back the Federal appeals court overturned death sentence of Boston Marathon jihad murderer, Dzhokhar Tsamaev
This leads to the subject of Capital Punishment as well as those who go outside a protest against the state government using of the death penalty and holding up signs show the words printed on them “Thou shall not kill”, those four words which are the sixth commandment , Exodus 20:13. are taken from the AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION translation of the Bible of the Ten Commandments . By and large the A.K.J.V.is a good translation yet not a perfect one.
For Jewish and Christian scholar who understand the original Hebrew which the Old Testament , some call it the “Older Testament “, of the Bible which was first written in Hebrew, the point the those scholars will inform all who are willing to listen that the word was “Murder”” and not “Kill” in the original Hebrew of which the First Old Testament was written.
There is a vast different between those two words “Killing “and “murder “, for example a dictionary definition of the word “Murder” is “the unlawful and malicious act of killing another person.” In contrast “Killing is defined as “To put to death or to slay”
So the anti-capital punishment people who quote Exodus 20:13 in the A.K.J. V. might also look up that same specific verse in the NEW KING JAMES VERSION and see how it’s put right by reading “ You shall not murder” For in the very next chapter in Exodus 21:12 it reads “He who strikes man so that he dies shall surely be put to death.”
Further, in the New Testament the Bible reader in Roman 13:1-4 that not only are governmental law enforcement forces are ordained by God to hold back and stop the criminal and wicked activities by evil and dangerous men. This also this may extent to the criminal courts which h included punishment for the evil doer.
If the Bible student examines more closely the specific verse number four he or she will discover that the scripture even refers to the government executor as type of minister of God to punish such men.
So that murderous young man, Dzhokhar Tsamaev, according to the Bible, should be put to death.
In conclusion the people who use their constitutional right to speak out against capital punishment do and should have the right of freedom of speech and expression to let other know how they feel on the subject of capital punishment. Nevertheless they either don’t know or do know but couldn’t care less that they are misusing the Bible in quoting Exodus 20:13 out of context.
Some of the anti –capital punishment feel might feel real righteous and pious by quoting that single verse out of the whole Bible , still in spite of the “pious emotions” some of them might have ,they are still misusing the Bible.
In addition to all this , the Bible in is written “Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.” Leviticus 27:17 [N.K.J.V.]
Taffy says
Walter, evidently you did not hear the good news: “The death sentence was re-imposed by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 4, 2022.”
Jihadi Tsarnaev is enjoying his stay at ADX Florence supermax along with other jihadis. I think he is in then SHU Unit, which means he has about zero human contact.
Check out the other notable hotel guests at ADX Florence. If you take away the organized crime and espionage inmates, you are left with the jihadis, many of whom you will recognize: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADX_Florence

Terrrorists of whatever cause, should be executed. That solves all problems financial and otherwise, They are not kept at huge public expense for most if not all of their lives, The costs saved could be given to the victims, especially the maimed, I do not care if they suffer during execution it is brief and nothing compared to the suffering opf the victims and theuir families..
Beto says
Non jews should not care ehat the old testament says.
somehistory says
New International Version
“Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind (Gen. 9:6).”
That was written before the “Testament” outlining the Law and the results of obedience, given to Moses and therefore, is not limited to the Jews.
The “Old Testament” is not the entire portion of the Bible before Christ came and introduced a New Promise.
Beto says
Non Jews don’t have to follow the old testament
somehistory says
God’s standards of Justice have not changed. Christians *do* care about what was written to the Jews, even though we are “not under Law.”

abu taleb says
Some American citizens are homless and have no money, yet this jihadist lives comfortably and saving a lt of money. There is something very wrong in the US.
Mike says
Any money that he has received apart from his commissary (canteen money) and his prison earnings as a cleaner, that is, money that outside people (such as fangirls and Islamists) send to him, should be confiscated and given to the Marathon survivors and their relatives.
He shouldn’t complain; in Russia, he’d be treated no better than those suspects in the recent Moscow concert bombing, not I personally approve of that.
OLD GUY says
Prison is not supposed to be comfort and going to the Canteen for goodies. Any money he receives should go for restitution and paying back the TAX PAYERS who had to pay for his legal team, court cost and his life in prison. This shit should have been executed not pampered.
