It happens far too often (like sexual assault) and simply underscores to the world that we've lost any sense of integrity as a country.

LIVE COVERAGE: Whitey Bulger Found Dead at West Virginia Prison

By Staff and Wire Reports
Published 9 minutes ago | Updated 2 minutes ago

Notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger was found dead at a West Virginia prison on Tuesday, federal sources told NBC News.

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday morning that Bulger had just been moved to a new prison in West Virginia. The Federal Bureau of Prisons online inmate log on Tuesday listed Bulger as an inmate at USP Hazelton, a high-security prison with an adjacent minimum security satellite camp in Bruceton Mills.

The 89-year-old Bulger had recently been moved from a prison in Florida to a transfer facility in Oklahoma City. Prior to that, he was held at a prison in Tucson, Arizona.

Bureau of Prisons officials and his attorney declined last week to comment on why he was moved.
