Authorities transferred Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston bombing suspect, to a medical prison center at Fort Devens, Massachusetts.
U.S. Marshals moved Tsarnaev overnight Thursday from the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston to Federal Medical Center Devens. Media was kept away, according to Reuters.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website describes FMC Devens as an "administrative facility housing male offenders requiring specialized or long-term medical or mental health care." The facility is located 39 miles west of Boston on the decommissioned military base of Fort Devens.
Tsarnaev, 19, is recovering from gunshot wounds sustained in a gunfight with police on April 19. He's charged with using a weapon of mass destruction and will be tried in federal court.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his older brother and alleged accomplice, died after engaging police in a shootout earlier that morning.
The Tsarnaev brothers are accused of setting off two homemade pressure-cooker bombs on April 15 at the Boston Marathon. The explosions killed three and injured hundreds more.The brothers also allegedly killed a campus officer as they tried to evade arrest.
In the aftermath of the attacks, details have emerged that suggest U.S. government agencies were alerted to Tamerlan, but did not follow up.
"Clearly enough was not done in order to monitor the activities here, especially given the fact that it wasn't one heads-up we were given but several," U.S. Congressman Ed Roy said to CNN.
Zubeidat Tsarnaev has told reporters that she doesn't believe her children are guilty of the bombings, and insisted that the bombings were faked. She currently lives in Dagestan, Russia and is unable to return to the U.S. due to having a felony warrant for shop lifting and property damage.
The suspects' father, Anzor Tsarnaev, is expected to arrive in the United States sometime next week and has said he will cooperate with the authority's investigation.
