(CNN) -- Convicted al Qaeda conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui on Saturday began serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at a maximum-security prison in Colorado, the U.S. Marshals Service said.

Moussaoui was removed from the Alexandria, Virginia, detention center on Friday night and flown to Colorado on a service nicknamed "Con Air."

A team of deputy U.S. marshals delivered him early Saturday to the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. The prison is sometimes called the "Alcatraz in the Rockies."

"It is a place of extraordinary security, 23 hours a day in cells, one hour of recreation," CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said at the time of Moussaoui's sentencing earlier this month in U.S. District Court in Alexandria

The reason I posted this is because I couldnt imagine living life like that locked up 23 out of a 24 hour day. You would think it would drive most men totally insane. That one hour of daily recreation would be like gold.
