I don't believe in the death penalty. Anyway 60 years of solitary confinement at Supermax would've been far worse.

Nope. According to HIM. He and his lawyer admitted he did it.
They stood up in the courtroom and freely said he did it.
He's no 'patsy'. He's a cold blooded,unrepentant, mass murderer.
"They have all kinds of evidence. They have video of Dzhokhar dropping his backpack behind the eight-year-old that was killed," Hunter said. "He makes a phone call to his brother and then all the heads snap left, you assume upon seeing the first explosion down the street."
The defence said they won't sidestep his guilt, calling the attack senseless, although Tsarnaev has entered a plea of not guilty. The prevailing theory among legal analysts is that this trial will be about whether Tsarnaev lives or dies, as 17 of the 30 charges laid against him carry the possibility of the death penalty.
"We take no issue with the facts from the ground that week," Hunter quotes Judy Clarke, one of America's foremost
death-penalty defence attorneys. "It WAS him. So why are we here? Where we differ is, Why? How did we get from this to this?" Clark asked, holding up a photograph of Tsarnaev as a happy teenager, followed by one of him and his brother Tamerlan at the time of the attack.
show me evidence from his mouth that he said "I am guilty "
The worst of the worst in America's vast prison network are delivered to ADX, the "Alcatraz of the Rockies," in buses, special vehicles, even Black Hawk helicopters.
Heavily armed patrols cruise the sprawling complex. A dozen imposing gun towers rise above squat brick buildings. Walls topped with razor wire partially block the snow-capped mountains.
"As soon as they come through the door ... you see it in their faces," former ADX warden Robert Hood said. "That's when it really hits you. You're looking at the beauty of the Rocky Mountains in the backdrop. When you get inside, that is the last time you will ever see it."
"The Supermax is life after death," said Hood, who served as ADX warden from 2002 to 2005. "It's long term. ... In my opinion, it's far much worse than death."
'The architecture is the control'
Many of the more than 400 inmates spend as much as 23 hours a day alone in 7-by-12-foot concrete cells. Meals are slid through small holes in the doors. Bed is a concrete slab dressed with a thin mattress and blankets.
A single window about 42 inches high and 4 inches wide allows some natural light but is made so prisoners cannot see beyond the building. Cells have unmovable stools and desks made of concrete. Solid walls prevent prisoners from seeing other cells or having direct contact with other inmates.
"The architecture of the building is the control," Hood said.
"You're designing it so the inmates can't see the sky. Intentionally. You're putting up wires so helicopters can't land."
Inmates have little contact outside of guards and prison staff. They must wear leg irons, handcuffs and stomach chains when taken outside their cells -- and be escorted by guards. A recreation hour is allowed in an outdoor cage slightly larger than the prison cells. Inside the cage, only the sky is visible.
"You're passing hundreds, hundreds of cameras as metal doors are sliding open and closed," Hood said.
