SPOKANE-- Kevin Harpham has been transfered to Herlong Correctional Institute in California. His release date is listed as 01-23-2039.
The Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Herlong is a medium security institution housing male inmates, with a satellite camp that houses minimum security male inmates.
The facility is located in the Sierra highlands of northern California, 50 miles northwest of Reno, NV, and about 30 miles southeast of Susanville, CA.
Senior Judge Justin Quackenbush said he had no choice but to sentence Kevin Harpham, the backpack bomber, to 32 years in prison for the placement of the improvised explosive device alongside the planned Martin Luther King Jr. Day Unity March held on January 17, 2011, in Spokane.
On March 9, 2011, Harpham was arrested for placing the explosive device alongside the Unity March. On Sept. 7, Harpham pleaded guilty to two counts of a superseding indictment: attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempt to cause bodily injury with an explosive device because of actual or perceived race, color and national origin of any person.
