A former warden at the prison where the Boston Marathon bomber is living has slammed the killer for saving more than $24,000 in jail - including donations from sick strangers.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 30, has been on death row at Colorado's ADMAX Florence - known as the 'Alcatraz of the Rockies' - since his 2015 conviction for inciting the horrific mass casualty event on April 15, 2013.
He has $4,000 in his prison canteen account, which can be used to purchase various items like food and clothing from the jailhouse shop, and a $26,000 fund comprising donations from his sisters, lawyers, and strangers.
Former Supermax warden Bob Hood has slammed Tsarnaev's failure to pay the $101 million he owes victims while making considerable savings of his own as 'offensive'.
'He came in indigent, and he should remain an indigent,' Hood told the Boston Herald. 'It's sick that he has any kind of following... Why would he even get a penny?'

Tsarnaev has been on death row at Colorado 's ADMAX Florence (pictured from above) - known as the 'Alcatraz of the Rockies' - after he was convicted for inciting the horrific mass casualty event on April 15, 2013
Three people were killed - Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and Lu Lingzi, 23 - and more than 260 runners were injured, including 17 people who lost limbs in the horrific attack
Hood added that the cost to taxpayers of keeping Tsarnaev in prison has also easily eclipsed $1 million - excluding his undisclosed legal tab to date.
'He's the million-dollar bomber,' Hood told the Herald.
Meanwhile, Tsarnaev's lawyer is moving to stop the Boston feds from seizing his client's $4,223.86 canteen account.
'He is neither hoarding funds nor spending profligately,' attorney David Patton wrote in legal documents attached to the appeal.
The attorney added that his killer client 'continues to receive unsolicited deposits from people whom he has never met' but that he 'has not had access' to the money.
Patton said Tsarnaev earns $25 per month working as a cleaner in the prison, and that he uses his canteen account to buy 'commissary items such as allergy medication, sweat clothes needed to do outdoor orderly work, food, and stamps'.
He pays just $35 each month in restitution for the victims - of which he owes $101 million. Patton said he has paid around $2,600 so far.
Tsarnaev also received a $1,400 Covid-19 relief payment given to all prisoners two years ago, but it has been 'placed under administrative hold' by the Board of Prisons.

Last month, a federal appeals court directed the judge who presided over Tsarnaev's 2015 trial to investigate whether two jurors were biased and should not have been seated.
Lawyers for Tsarnaev said one juror was told by a friend on Facebook to 'get on the jury' and send him 'to jail where he will be taken care of,' while the second juror retweeted a Twitter post that called the killer a 'piece of garbage.'
U.S. Circuit Judge William Kayatta, writing for the majority, said that should the trial judge conclude that either juror should have been disqualified, Tsarnaev would be entitled to a new penalty-phase trial to re-determine if he should be sentenced to death.
'And even then, we once again emphasize that the only question in any such proceeding will be whether Tsarnaev will face execution; regardless of the outcome, he will spend the rest of his life in prison,' Kayatta wrote.
Along with his brother Tamarlan, Tsarnaev planted two pressure-cooker bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon race on April 15, 2013.

Three people were killed - Martin Richard, 8; Krystle Campbell, 29; and Lu Lingzi, 23 - and more than 260 runners were injured, including 17 people who lost limbs.
Three days later, on April 18, the FBI released images of the killer brothers, and that evening they shot MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, 27, while he was hunting for them.
They were caught again by police in Watertown, and engaged in another shootout, during which two officers were severely injured, and one, Dennis Simmonds, 28, died a year later.
Tamerlan was shot several times during the altercation, and Dzhokhar ran him over while escaping in a stolen car. He died shortly afterwards.
