Wen El Chapo Guzman the man who twice escaped from Mexican prisons will now spend the rest of his life Behind Bars outside high security as she the mother of their twin daughters left looking down after conviction Chapo was sent here for Life the airtight supermax prison in Colorado July 19th 2019 El Chapo entered his 75t cell in Florence Colorado bringing a halt to his reign as the Most Wanted Mexican drug lord in America this moment not only marked the end of the road for Al Chapo but also the beginning of his life in this miniature version of Hell Inception said this was the most inhumane conditions I’ve ever [Music] experienced I suffer from headaches every day I haven’t seen the Sun or breathe fresh air since I set foot in this country I’m tortured for 24 hours
every day that was part of a letter written by El Chapo to a judge recounting his harrowing experiences in the United States toughest prison it’s evident he’s not having the time of his life over there but I assure you the real Intrigue lies in the secretive administrative measures he’s compelled to follow those the media conveniently avoid talking about but before we get into details of these measures and El Chapo’s doomed Fate To Die behind bars I need you to First understand why he’s being subjected to torture in a foreign land the name Watkin El Chapo Guzman hardly needs any introduction back in the 9s Del Chapo was one of the greatest drug lords of all time after Pablo Escobar of course these two Infamous drug lords dominated the narcotics trade in different eras Escobar was a more charismatic Kingpin who didn’t shy away from the media but El Chapo was a bit more cunning operating in the shadows in Mexico his cartel Empire raked in $3 billion annually he co-founded the
infamous qu laara cartel however after the death of DEA agent Enrique Kamara Salazar by Mexican sarios Al Chapo exploited the chaos to ascend in rank within the cartel that prompted Felix gardo during a summit of all top drug lords in Mexico at that time to appoint El Chapo and Ismael El Mayo zambada as the leaders of the siloa cartel however down the line he orchestrated two of the most mind-blowing prison escapes of the 21st century to escape means open coming layer after layer of impenetrable walls and an army of guards that outnumber the inmates almost two to one the first Escape is a scene out of a fictional movie but when it comes to this man anything’s possible January 19th 2001 El Chapo escaped one of the most secure prisons in Mexico the crazy part is he accomplished that with the help of prison guards and workers one of the guards was a guy named Francisco elito
cambos Riva and with the help of his wife Emma coronella sputo El Chapo had the prison escape all planned out and when the hour came for him to leave prison elito electronically opened his cell door concealing him inside this laundry cart filled with dirty clothes and began Wheeling him through different doors out into the corridor but hey if you remember it was a Max security prison and not a 100 met Corridor so how was it so easy well Wheeling them through the many security checkpoints was obviously scary even for a guy like El Chapo and to put that into context at one point elcho was trying to convince a security guard to allow him through the gate but in the process the laundry card started rolling back you can imagine how Chapo was terrified that it would spill over and send him right back into the cell but Mother Nature was on his side that day cuz the cart stopped and El Cheeto was able to wheel him out into the parking lot where he was transported out of town by car evidently El Chapo wasn’t the pioneer of prison escapes and even though he was already wanted in the
US there was a slim chance of getting getting him extradited 6:40 a.m. February 22nd 2014 Mexican authorities arrested Guzman at a beachfront hotel and Mazatlan following an operation by the Mexican Navy with joint intelligence from DEA and the US Marshall service the operation leading to his capture began at 3:45 a.m.
when 10 pickup trucks of the Mexican Navy carrying over 65 Marines made their way to the resort Mexican and US federal agents had Intel that the drug lord had been at the location for at least 2 days and he had a condo on the fourth floor in room 401 when Mexican authorities arrived at the location they quickly subdued Carlos Manuel hamz one of Guzman’s bodyguards before quietly making their way to the fourth floor by elevators and stairs once they were at Guzman’s front door they broke in and stormed two rooms in one was Guzman lying in bed with his wife he was charged with drug trafficking as he couldn’t be charged with other crimes more than once subsequently he was sent a federal social readaptation Center number one where hakin El Chapo Guzman orchestrated a second prison escape that completely ridiculed the Mexican Government mocking its prison structure this is the moment hin El Chapo Guzman makes the Mexican
Government look ridiculous 8:52 p.m. July 11th 2015 El Chapo was seen in the shower area of his cell as captured by security cameras now the shower area in this cell was the only blind spot and after the guards didn’t and see him for 25 minutes on those cameras Personnel went looking for him when they got to a cell Guzman was gone keep in mind that this was one of the top Max security prisons in Mexico yet El Chapo was able to orchestrate a second Escape using a tunnel leading from the showers to a residential construction site a mile away the tunnel was 33 ft deep underground and Guzman descended down with a ladder down there we had artificial light air ducts and highquality construction materials in addition they found a motorcycle down there which authorities believed was used to transport materials and possibly Gman himself now even though El Chapo had a ton of help from the outside to facilitate this Escape it became evident that he had unparalleled access to
resources and Manpower readily available to Aid him in any situation and after these two escapes it looked like Mexico was highly incapable of holding the notorious drug lord giving room for the US to step in 8 X Florence January 8th 2016 the residence of el Chapa was raided by 17 Marines from the Mexican Army and federal police this specific home had been under surveillance for over a month after locals reported citing armed people moving in and out monitored Communications indicated the home was being prepared for the arrival of grand grandma or Aunt which authorities suspected was code for a high priority potential Target El Chapo but before they could get through this reinforce steel bulletproof door El Chapo had already escaped through a secret tunnel emerging 1 and 1/2 km away once he
reached the other end of the tunnel he came out and stole a civilian car at gunpoint this Statewide alert was issued for the stolen vehicle and the federal police found and got it about 20 km south of Los Mochis near the town of Juan Jose Rios at the point of arrest El Chapo made one last desperate attempt to bribe the officers with some cash properties maybe a job but it was game over for Guzman he was extra DED straight to the us being a wanted man in Chicago San Diego New York City New Hampshire Miami and Texas in addition to having indictments in at least seven different US federal courts a critical requirement for the extradition was the US guaranteed they wouldn’t sentence Guzman to death if he were found guilty of homicide charges but for El Chapo getting the death p penalty certainly would have been a much better verdict January 19th 2017 El Chapa was extradited to the US and turned over to the DEA from the second he stepped on American soil you could see the terror
in his eyes he knew without a doubt that this may have been the end of the road for him he was found guilty of all charges and sentenced on July 17th 2019 to life in prison plus 30 to be served at adx Florence it means you’re in yourself for 23 to 24 hours a day by yourself you’re let out for an hour in an underground pit underground concrete pit where you can’t see into the distance now the adx Florence houses some of the most ruthless criminals of our time these guys are straight up monsters with no interest in money or power all they want to see our people suffer in the most sadistic of ways now in case you didn’t know you might be asking why was El Chapo sent to this prison facility out of all the max prisons in the US while the the answer to that can be found in the backstory of why adx was initially created and the kind of inhumane treatment prisoners as Sinister as El Chapo are subjected to endure October 22nd 1983 Thomas
Silverstein and Clayton Fountain members of the Aryan Brotherhood fatally stabbed correctional officers Merl Kutz and Robert Hoffman at a US penitentiary in Marian now Thomas was walking down the hall with his hands cuffed in front of him then in what seemed like a scene out of the Matrix he shoved his hands into his friend cell who unlocked his cuffs with a stolen key and handed a knife over allowing Thomas to just kill that guard a few hours later a similar scenario occurred with Clayton using the same tactic understand that back then the US penitentiary in Maran used to be the go-to center for the worst criminals in the US however when these incidents occurred it became clear that even among the most dangerous criminals a few needed a more intense and secure facility and that was how the idea of ad X came into play adx was all about housing people with no regard for human life this isn’t a prison that the inmates run we run this prison this thing’s on a 37 acre complex in Florence
Colorado part of a Federal Correctional Complex which has three Correctional Facilities each with a different security rating now the majority of the facility is above ground level which is designed to house a Max of 460 inmates for some reason it’s never reached its full capacity as of November 2023 adx houses 332 inmates and six different units every inmate has been sent there for demonstrating signs of being too dangerous to be held in a normal prison and just like El Chapo these people are confined in a single person’s cell for 23 hours a day and when they’re allowed to leave their cell they’re only allowed to be in a slightly bigger area for just an hour it could be anywhere between 1:00 a.m. 4: PM or any time chosen by the correctional officers during their 1hour free time they’re taken around in handcuffs shackles or both depending on how dangerous the inmate is for El Chapo he’s constantly in both cuz they can’t risk losing sight of him even for a
second now inmates are free to move around exercise or even meditate in an underground pit looking like an empty pool and yeah the pool is larger than their cell but it’s way smaller than you think how small you ask about 10 steps in a straight line or 30 in a circle that should give you a clear picture of this so-called outdoor area however not all inmates face these strict measures the longer a person’s there and the longer they demonstrate good behavior the more outdoor time they get however if an inmate proves to be encourageable they may spend their entire sentence locked up in adx nevertheless when it comes to diet and feeding things get worse food and packs are served to inmates and are properly checked to ensure that they can’t be used to harm themselves or correctional officers and also to make sure their cells are kept clean inmates brought in from other places are allowed to eat in a shared dining room but but inmates as dangerous as El Chapo get their meals delivered by correctional officers once El Chapo’s done eating that food tray is inspected
to make sure he didn’t break off a piece to use as a weapon now his cell has a bed a desk and a stool all constructed purely out of concrete then right there beside the door is a toilet this toilet is designed for one flush at a time meaning there aren’t any handles there his cell is one of a few that have a shower within it and this shower is on a schedule timer there’s a little sink in there as as well without a potentially dangerous tap some cells have steel mirrors that have been bolted to the walls and others have televisions El chapos in particular has a nice 13-in TV however the programs are monitored he can only really watch recreational educational and religious content he’s also given some books and magazines if he wishes to read but I highly doubt there’s any reading going on in there now the next thing to consider is the wall of the cell unlike other places the adx has only only a 4×4 int window the windows are designed to restrict inmates from knowing their particular location

within the complex so for an inmate like Chapo it’s nearly impossible for him to orchestrate some type of Escape when he or people on the outside really don’t have a clue about his exact location now outside of this cell is a multitude of motion detectors cameras and 1,400 remotec controlled steel doors the guards in the control center watch over inmates 24 hours a day they also have what’s known as a panic button which is basically the single red button that immediately shuts down every door in the place in addition to that there’s pressure pads and 12T razor wired fences surrounding the perimeter patrolled by heavily armed officers and if you manage to sneak by all of that there are 12 different gun Towers ready down the road leading to adx Florence I mean at this point the thought of escaping should be terrifying how many men would he have to pay off or how many security guards would he have to bypass to just exit this place but as hard hardcore as all that sounds there are a few more things that make this place even more horrible
we don’t ask them to come here the with their Mis misbehavior and management problems they earn their way here adx Florence has inmates on six different security levels one of the levels is the general population unit and under that one is a Cell Block simply known as H that’s a unit where our deer o Chapo’s kept they’re watching him all the time and according to his lawyers he doesn’t get any sleep he gets harassed by these officers and his family isn’t allowed to visit but as high-profile a criminal as El Chapo is he’s not the most dangerous person in here there’s a unit known as range 13 that place is for those who need the toughest control and for creatures who are classified as ruthless killing animals it’s crazy how El Chapo is not down there like somebody else you might know ramsy Yousef Pakistani born Ramsey Yousef was convicted in 1994 of terrorism conspiracy and other charges in connection for the 93 World Trade Center bombing killing six people and
injuring more than a thousand in ’96 Yousef was also convicted of planning project bajena a foiled plot conceived by senior Al-Qaeda member khed shik Muhammad to bomb 12 planes in 48 hours now while Chapo has done a lot of things but some might argue that Ramsay’s crimes truly earn him a spot in range 13 another inmate of this hell is Thomas Silverstein one of the two men behind the Federal Bureau of prison’s idea to build the ad X Florence at this point one thing’s certain there’s absolutely no way El Chapo can come up with a plan to escape BX however there is a small little loophole he could exploit to get back his freedom the loophole January 2022 El Chapo’s conviction was upheld by a second Circuit Court in the US after attorneys tried hinging a story of Juror misconduct reported 8 days after his 2019 conviction now there’s a story alleging that the jurors were exposed to
information that wasn’t admitted as evidence in the trial including claims by a cooperating witness that El Chapo drugged and raped girls this gave El Chapo’s defense team an edge to taint the jury and claimed that his conviction should have ended in a mistrial or the verdict overturned the court wasn’t buying this fabricated story and upheld his conviction however in a desperate attempt to get El Chapo out of this place they came up with a new strategy which is for El Chapo to be on his best Behavior two units within the adx allow inmates to walk freely interacting with others in their range this unit however is only open to inmates who have demonstrated good behavior over a certain period of time and if they continue displaying this good behavior then there’s a really high chance they can get transferred out of adx to a lesser prison in the US so if El Chapo somehow manages to make it out into a lesser prison then he might be able to pull off one of his classical prison escapes another way to get out of adx is
by exploiting the law and criticisms about mental health issues despite the strict measures put in place so far to keep anyone from getting out of adx many murders have occurred within this place due to mental breakdowns April 21st 2005 two inmates Sylvester Rivera and Richard Santiago were caught on tape brutally beating and stopping to death a high-profile Mexican mafioso Manuel Torres within the prison facility now just imagine criminals in adx still committing murder the next logical step was for them to be sentenced to death and placed on death row but for some unknown reason they remained incarcerated at ABX apart from this incident there have been a total of eight suicides inside this place and that rests on the fact that the conditions at adx Florence are too harsh on its inmates I mean they’re criminals but they’re still humans right and besides there are a few inmates who haven’t committed crimes as brutal as El Chapo or Ramsey Yousef in 2012 11
inmates filed a federal class action suit against the Federal Bureau of Prisons the suit alleged chronic abuse and failure to properly diagnose prisoners who are suffering from chronic mental illness also in 2020 a British magistrate refused to extradite Julian Assange the founder of the nonprofit organization Wikileaks to the United States and that was because the magistrate felt he would be subjected to solitary confinement and special administrative measures at adx Florence luckily for Assange the US and the high court of justice for England agreed to extradite him on the premise that he wouldn’t be subjected to any special administrative measures or imprisoned at adx NDS convincing a competent judge that El Chapo should be transferred to a lesser prison on grounds of good behavior is a long shot but it’s more or less like his only hope at this point this can be coupled with the fact that his incarceration barely changed anything back in Mexico the caloa cartel remains one of the most powerful and prolific drug trafficking organizations it still controls a worldwide web of
contacts moving Colombian cocaine and Mexican Cooks to the US also controlling sea ports to get drugs and precursor chemicals shipped in from around the globe while managing the multi-million dollar tunnels built by El Chapo to smuggle tons of marijuana and cocaine and that doesn’t even emphasize the armies of Hitmen and enforcers who are directly involved in extortion kidnapping and money laundering for the cartel perhaps most importantly caloa continues to control what’s referred to as the Last Mile in the US using the wholesale distribution Network to get the drugs into hands of local gangs and Street dealers after El Chapo’s arrest the cartel split into factions with one led by El Chapo’s longtime partner El Mayo and the other headed by his adult sons known as Los chapitos these factions are using their Network in high places and vast access to resources to Hype a new Public Enemy nesio igua cantes better known as almeno El meno’s halisco New Generation cartel is on the
rise and has only existed for about a decade but but it Rose to power much more quickly than its rival caloa their influence stretches across six continents and 28 of Mexico’s 32 states major US cities like La Chicago Houston Atlanta and New York are all affected by the cj& G’s me while El meno’s henchmen commit gruesome acts of violence as they battle rivals in Mexico they’re painting Guzman to be a hero and El meno the villain yeah they’re both drug dealers but El Chapo is seen as a Charming Rogue a self-made Man Who Rose from abject poverty to ranking on the Forbes billionaires list to summon caloa he remains a modern-day Robin Hood credited with building churches Paving roads and pumping cash into the local economy while sticking It To The Man He’s The People’s Outlaw a real life Tony Montana a bad guy sure but at least he had the guts to be what he wanted to be diverting everyone’s attention to El meno and the CJ and G could leave a
getaway for El Chapo’s defense team to work a little magic right now El Chapo mostly Spends His his time watching cable TV writing letters to his mom sisters and twin daughters the few family members he is allowed to contact Mexico’s president obor who has a history of siding with El Chapo’s organization said that he would consider El Chapo’s request to return from the US to complete his sentence on humanitarian grounds claiming the psychological torment he’s going through over there is inhumane while it is unclear if Mexico has the power to do such the US definitely isn’t sending El Chapo home to Mexico for a family reunion El joo’s gone for good but we don’t think his story is done being written and then what happens is you become an animal or you become Your Own Worst [Music] Enemy
