Narcos boss El Chapo moans about ‘unfair treatment’ and ‘health problems’ in US jail
26.05.2022 - 22:23 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Notorious drug lord El Chapo has claimed he is being mistreated in the American supermax prison he’s currently being held in.
El Chapo - real name Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera - has published a seven-page letter saying he’s suffering from memory loss, headaches, depression and cramps.
The former narcotics kingpin was sentenced to life plus 30 years in prison after being found guilty in February 2019 of 10 charges relating to money laundering and drug trafficking.
In January 2017 he was extradited from Mexico to the USA, according to Daily Star.
Since being sentenced, Chapo has been locked up in a maximum-security prison in Florence, Colorado, which he now says is treating him unfairly.
El Chapo, now 65, penned the extraordinary letter in English, writing: “Due to the treatment at ADMAX, now I suffer from headaches, memory loss, muscle cramps, stress and depression.
“The treatment I receive is cruel and unfair, and it is causing me to suffer from psychological and health problems.
“I pray that this court intervenes.”
El Chapo referred to the court where he appealed against his conviction in October last year – which they upheld in January this year.
He previously complained that he was living in “24-hour torture” during his stay at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in New York.
The former drug lord now described his new abode as a cell measuring seven by 12 feet with just a small window in which he is served his meals.
“I am ruled out of having any verbal contact or communication with other prisoners,” he complained.
“I have no human contact, other than when the guards put on and take off my shackles.”
He added: “Since my arrival in the United States, I have not been allowed to speak to my wife.”
His wife, Emma Coronel, is
