The Justice Department's inspector general has found a series of missteps by federal Bureau of Prisons officials preceded the 2018 beating death of Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger. The watchdog recommends at least six Bureau of Prisons workers be disciplined. The watchdog's report Wednesday finds Bureau of Prisons officials moved Bulger from being housed alone at a prison in Florida to being housed in general population at a West Virginia prison and had shared information about the transfer widely. The BOP hasn’t responded to an email seeking comment. Bulger led a largely Irish mob and spent 16 years on the lam before being captured at age 81 in Santa Monica, California.
