Set in the high desert of Colorado, Supermax holds America's most dangerous criminals. They include terrorists, murderers — even members of the Taliban.
They spend up to 23 hours a day in soundproof cells, locked behind solid steel doors. They eat their meals in these 8-by-12-foot cells, where the desk, the stool, even the bed are made of concrete.
The only window — 42 inches high and 4 inches wide — looks out on a small recreation yard that prisoners might never get to use. When inmates are allowed out of their cells, they are strapped into leg irons and other restraints and are strip-searched.
They call this place the Alcatraz of the Rockies.
And this is where Eric Rudolph, according to his attorneys and federal officials, will spend the rest of his life.
