This is how he finds himself inside the maximum security prison where "El Chapo" Guzmán would spend the remains of his time

Joaquín "Chapo" Guzmán Loera could spend the rest of his life in the safest prison in the United States: ADX Florence, better known as "La Alcatraz de las Rocosas". After six days of deliberation in the Brooklyn court in New York, the former Sinaloa cartel leader was convicted by the 12-member jury of over 200 tons of narcotics trafficked from Mexico.

Located in the middle of the desert of the state of Colorado, the prison was built for convicts at a level called & # 39; Supermax & # 39;that is, "maximum security", the highest level of security that exists in the US penitentiary system. According to experts, quoted Wednesday by local media, this will be the place where El Chapo will serve his sentence.

The cellmates that would have the drug lord count among the most dangerous criminals in history. The best known are the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski and Zacarias Moussaoui, the man known to be the twentieth pirate of the air of attack on the Twin Towers in New York. Experts say this time it will be difficult for Guzman to escape from prison, as he has done on other occasions in Mexican jails.

In ADX's Supermax, inmates go to 23 hours a day in isolation. His contacts with humans are kept to a minimum and the 490 individual cells are only seven square meters. The media describes this prison as a "clean version of hell".

The prison is protected by fences with blades and watchtowers and armed patrols. "The worst network among the vast network of US jails is usually found in ADX, also known as" La Alcatraz de las Rocosas ", said former prison director Robert Hood in an interview at CNN.

Guzman was convicted Tuesday of running one of the world's largest drug trafficking rings. In the past, he escaped twice from Mexico's high security prisons. In 2015, he managed to escape through a tunnel who connected outside with his own cell.

His unattainable and super-powerful image came to an end shortly after his third arrest and extradited in January 2017 in the United States. There, he waited for a safe detention and a long, tense and media-tainted trial in Manhattan, which would become a headache for allies and rivals mentioned in all types of crimes, even for ex-combatants. -presidents of Mexico.
