Drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman had been complaining that the harsh treatments he’s receiving in jail are turning him into a “zombie.”
In an interview with Mexico’s Radio Formula Tuesday, El Chapo’s attorney quoted the cartel boss as saying, “Every two hours, at night, they wake me up to take a roll… They are turning me into a zombie. They do not let me sleep. All I want is just for them to let me sleep.”
El Chapo has been inside Altiplano prison in central Mexico since being recaptured last month. The drug lord famously escaped from the prison previously through a hole that led to a mile-long tunnel in the floor of his cell’s shower stall, a blind spot for security cameras, in July of last year.
According to a CNN report, the prison has announced that they’ve dramatically increased security measures upon his return, installing 400 new cameras with the hope to add 600 more by April. To prevent another tunnel escape, the cell floors have been reinforced with three-quarter-inch steel rods.
A report in El Universal newspaper describes that El Chapo never stays in one cell for a prolonged period of time, being transferred every few minutes or every few hours.
El Chapo led the Sinaloa organization which is the oldest drug cartel in Mexico. According to intelligence agencies, it is a transnational business empire that operates in the United States, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, the Americas and Asia.

Who cares if he can’t sleep!
He needs to give up some of his amigos. Stop killing kids in Mexico and America. Don’t let him get away again, if he has to be under 24 hour guards.

WAIT……are we all suppose to feel sorry for this guy? Or just the loony left?

I think El Chapo is discovering what happens when a person breaks out of prison. Every effort will be made to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Although El Chapo isn’t getting much rest, he can take comfort in the knowledge that some of his partners in crime are living large on the money he made.

He probably wishes he were in the states so Obuma could pardon him along with Clinton.
EEL RIVER says
HE WILL BE OUT AGAIN VERY SOON, MONEY TALKS BULL CA CA WALKS. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES A PRISON GUARD IN MEXICO MAKE? WE KNOW ONE THING, THERE IS NO UNION FOR HIM TO CONTRIBUTE TO! ITS PROBABLY LIKE THE ARMY. BE ALL YOU CAN BE. TAKE THE MONEY AN RUN. .

maybe a bullet in the head will be best for scum bag like him.

My thoughts exactly!!! He has escaped TWICE—you can’t tell me that some guards DIDN’T know that the hole was there—wasn’t his cell every *tossed* like they all are! Even here in the states if a person is sooooo bad that they have to have 6 guards and hand cuffs and leg irons and face masks or put them in a chair all chained up just to go somewhere else in the prison—then WHY aren’t they executed—why should we suffer the cost to keep these animals alive?!?

What would control is ability to run or escape and if so,so what… Cut his legs off at the knees and his arms off at his elbow. feed him and let him work it out and he can’t even wipe his on ass. But let him live.. Every waken day he will suffer as he had done to thousands of people. He would have to really come up with a special way to even comment suicide like beat his head into a wall, which would knock himself out to be reviled to go at it again. After several tries place a helmet on his head and watch him suffer everyday.. Treat him as he had tourched
hundreds of people barbarically ..

If there is no buyer there is no seller. The corruption in the USA along with lenient drug laws are responsible for the flow of drugs into the USA via unguarded borders! Al long as there are ready buyers and corrupted USA officials and open USA borders the drugs will flow! check out on internet unguarded bridges between Mexico and the USA! No need to even get your feet wet an no controls on both sides of the bridges! USA and Border Patrol refuses to do anything to guard these open border crossings! THe fault I with the liberal left wing open border politicians that only care if their kids get hooked on drugs.

Well, let’s see; he and his organization sold drugs that either killed or turned millions of people worldwide into zombies.
He lived like a feudal king for many years, enjoying life with plenty of money gained from those zombies.
He’s complaining that they’re not letting him sleep and turning him into a zombie.
Sounds like justice.

I don’t like drugs so I’m not in favor of what did. But, was an excellent business man, expert in his line of work. His victims choos the drugs to consum or became narcos to earn easy money knowing that it was dangerous work. In a way ” El Chapp ” was Mexican “Robbin Hood “. He did many good things for people. Like build schools and help his community any he could. He saw a need and he filled it. If not him, someone would have done it.

Fire him up, make a junkie out of him. Then hold back on the stuff every now and then and put it on TV.
