The Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been transferred from hospital to prison, US police say.
The US Marshals Service said the 19-year-old had been moved from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center to a facility at Fort Devens, Massachusetts.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been in hospital since his arrest following a huge police operation a week ago.
He was found badly injured in a boat in a suburban backyard. His brother Tamerlan was killed during the manhunt.
Many of the injured have also been treated at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and were reported to be unhappy at having the surviving bombing suspect in the same building.
The US Marshals Service said the accused, whose condition has been described as fair, was taken overnight to the Federal Medical Center Devens some 40 miles (65km) west of Boston.

The bombing suspects' mother bitterly denounces America
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was charged, by a magistrate at his hospital bedside earlier this week, with using a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death.
He could be sentenced to death if convicted on either count.
Having suffered apparent gunshot wounds to the head, neck, legs and hand, he was reported to have responded to questions in writing because a throat wound left him unable to speak.
The two bombs, placed in pressure cookers and left close to the finishing line of the Boston Marathon on 15 April, killed three people and wounded more than 260.
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said on Thursday that the Tsarnaev brothers had concocted a spur-of-the-moment plan to attack Times Square with their remaining explosives: a pressure cooker device and five pipe bombs.
They hijacked a Mercedes and its driver in Cambridge, Massachusetts, during the evening of 18 April, but the driver managed to escape and alert police when the brothers stopped for petrol, say the authorities.
Police say they then intercepted the brothers in the stolen car, prompting a gun battle that left 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead.

Michael Bloomberg says New York City was the next target after Boston
The Tsarnaev family has origins in the predominantly Muslim republic of Chechnya in southern Russia, but the brothers had been living in the US for nearly a decade.
The pair are thought to have planned the attack themselves, without help from foreign militants, and are suspected of having become radicalised online.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has said he and his brother were angry about the US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There are questions as to whether the US security services could have done more to prevent the bombings.
It has emerged the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev after a tip-off from Russia that he had become a follower of radical Islam, but agents found nothing and closed the case.
And Tamerlan Tsarnaev was added to a terrorism watch list 18 months ago at the CIA's request, according to US media reports.
