The federal medical center in Massachusetts where the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing is being held blends high-security prison cells with hospital rooms. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19 years old, is being treated for gunshot wounds in his throat, head and legs that he received during confrontations with police days after the April 15 bombing.

Devens is equipped to handle the full spectrum of federal prisoners, from minimum-security white-collar criminals to violent felons who would be held at maximum-security penitentiaries if it weren't for their medical conditions.
