After spending time in a federal prison out in Oklahoma, notorious South Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger has been transferred to United States Penitentiary, Tucson – a high-security prison in Tucson, Ariz. operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

According to the Bureau’s website, Bulger, now known by the less mobster-esque designation 02182-748, has a release date that currently reads “unknown,” meaning there’s a possibility the 84-year old felon could be transferred yet again.

Interestingly, local news outlets are claiming that Bulger and his longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig, with whom he spent 16-years on the run from authorities, exchanged love letters so deeply vested with passionate benediction that it brought them both to sobs when Bulger’s lawyer helped to pass them along to each other.

Bulger’s lawyer, J.W. Carney, went on record noting that he did in fact act as the medium of exchange for both Bulger and Greig but that he did not read either one’s note.

So the question remains, how does anyone know that they were love letters?

Maybe they were ruthless break-up letters. Maybe Bulger penned some sob story about how his brother Billy, former University of Massachusetts President, was essentially a ghost during Whitey’s high-profile federal trial in Boston’s Seaport. Maybe Greig wrote a heartfelt retrospective on tossing a perfectly admirable career as a dental hygienist out the window for a life on the lam. Maybe because the goat in the above photo, surely dear to the hearts of both, untimely passed away.

Or maybe they wrote love letters to each other.

The fact of the matter is, not a single soul knows what’s been captured on paper in ink between the two. But whatever is in those pages, sparsely dotted with tears, sure sounds interesting.
