    Since Florence also houses medium and high security (plus the Administrative Maximium Security or "Supermax") prisons, I would expect that he might be changing houses when he is caught.

    The Denver Post, also 9news.com

    You can keep up with things (to a very small degree) by watching his Prisoner Locator entry at the Bureau of Prison's site.
