Editing Christopher Scarver (section)

==Murders of Jeffrey Dahmer and Jesse Anderson==
Two years later, on the morning of November 28, 1994, Scarver was assigned to a work detail in the gymnasium with two other inmates: [[Jesse Anderson]], convicted for murdering his wife; and [[Jeffrey Dahmer]], a serial killer. When corrections officers left the three unsupervised, a confrontation ensued. Scarver went out and retrieved a metal bar from the weight room, which he used to bludgeon Dahmer. He then attacked Anderson with a wooden stick at the showers. He returned to his cell and informed a corrections officer "God told me to do it. Jesse Anderson and Jeffrey Dahmer are dead."<ref name=trib/><ref name=philly/>

Both men were mortally wounded by the beatings. Dahmer was declared dead an hour after arriving at the hospital. Anderson died two days later after doctors removed him from life support. 

Scarver was assessed for mental illness and found competent to stand trial on murder charges for the two killings.<ref name=sentinel2/> He changed his "not guilty" plea to "[[no contest]]" in exchange for being transferred to a federal penitentiary, was convicted of each murder, and received two more life sentences.<ref name=trib2/> When asked if he believed his sentence was just, Scarver was quoted as having said "Nothing white people do to blacks is just."<ref name="NYTimes"/>

===Aftermath===
In 1995, Scarver was transferred into the custody of the [[Federal Bureau of Prisons]] under the register number #08157-045. At the time, prison officials in Wisconsin believed they did not have a facility secure enough to house Scarver. Scarver underwent psychiatric evaluation again at the [[United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners|MCFP Springfield]] and was later transferred to [[ADX Florence]], the federal [[Supermax prison|supermax]] in [[Florence, Colorado]], where he remained until 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FindLaw's United States Seventh Circuit case and opinions. |url=https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-7th-circuit/1115674.html |access-date=2023-02-09 |website=Findlaw |language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2000, Scarver was transferred to the [[Wisconsin Secure Program Facility]] when it opened.<ref name="th" /> In 2001, federal district court judge [[Barbara Brandriff Crabb|Barbara Crabb]] ordered that Scarver and about three dozen other seriously mentally ill inmates be relocated from the Wisconsin facility. Scarver was eventually relocated to the [[Centennial Correctional Facility]] in Colorado.<ref name=th/>

In 2005, Scarver brought a federal civil rights suit against officials of the [[Wisconsin Secure Program Facility]]<ref name=court/> arguing that he had been subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, contrary to his constitutional rights.<ref name=Poplar/> A district court judge dismissed the suit against several of the defendants and ruled that the actions of the remaining officials could not be considered unlawful. Scarver unsuccessfully appealed the decision in 2006.<ref name=court/> Scarver would later say that he had been held for 16 years in solitary confinement as a result of the murders of Dahmer and Anderson.<ref name=letters/>

In 2012, an agent representing Scarver announced that he was willing to write a [[wikt:tell-all|tell-all]] book about the murder of Dahmer.<ref name=sjmn/><ref name=huff/><ref name=dj/>
