A fellow inmate of James "Whitey" Bulger gives RadarOnline.com a glimpse into the hellish conditions the crime boss, who has been charged with 19 counts of murder, is held under.

"He's being kept in the hole," Adrian Alves, who is currently incarcerated in a separate unit at Plymouth County House of Corrections, tells RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

"The cell is like 8 x 12, it's very limited, there's no fresh air - it's like a dog cage. He has a guard outside his cell 24 hours a day and when he is moved he wears a three point restraint, which is a waist chain with shackles down to the ankles and up to the wrists and he is flanked by, like, 20 guards. His cell is shaken down twice a day to check there's nothing in there.

Federal agents foiled a plot by a Vietnam veteran to assassinate three United States senators because he was angry about the Department of Veterans Affairs’ treatment of him.

In a criminal complaint obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, law enforcement agents have revealed how James Puchtel, 58, from Linton, IN, made a series of threatening phone calls to VA staffers on February 2, including a recorded phone call in which he said he “wanted to kill” Senator Richard Lugar, Senator Dan Coates and former Democratic Senator Evan Bayh.

Federal agents said they disrupted Puchtel’s plans to go to the lawmakers homes and shoot them “with a rifle as they came out of their house.”

Puchtel was not charged.
