ISIS ‘Beatle’ El Shafee Elsheikh faces dying alone in America’s toughest supermax jail, which has been labelled the ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’.
Elsheikh, 34, was sentenced in August to life in prison, but the Brit, nicknamed Ringo, avoided being sent to ADX Florence in Colorado, claiming he suffered from poor mental health.
After being assessed, he was moved there earlier this month and is now in solitary confinement in a 7ft by 12ft cell, the Mirror reports.
A US prison insider told the publication: ‘Elsheikh will rot in the closest thing America has to hell on Earth. He is now exactly where he belongs.’
Elsheikh was one of four terrorists in an IS cell in Iraq and Syria, called the Beatles by their captors due to their British accents.
