Trapnell moved from Marion to Pennsylvania prison
Garrett Brock Trapnell has been moved from the Marion federal penitentiary to a federal prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. Public Information Officer Dean Leech said the transfer, approved by the executive panel, aimed to place Trapnell in an environment better suited for open population housing. Trapnell, 42, is serving two life terms plus 11 years for air piracy, stemming from the 1973 TWA hijacking. He had prior escapes and was held in long-term segregation before the transfer.
