El Chapo Heads To Colorado Alcatraz!

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Lorea heads to Supermax.

Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Lorea who is known to the junk food media as El Chapo was convicted of attempted murder, drug trafficking, racketeering and threats to witnesses.

He was a very ruthless drug kingpin. That's what the junk food media claimed.

He was caught three years ago after he plotted a successful escape from a federal time out in Mexico.

This would have been the second time he escape from a time out. The Mexican government handed him over to the United States on the grounds they would not seek the death penalty. The U.S. government agreed to it. After a year and half of court hearings, it's time for El Chapo to head to the final place of his journey.

He was sentenced to LIFE in federal time out. The former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel is heading to Florence, Colorado.

On Wednesday, Guzman was sentenced to LIFE plus 30 years after an 11-week trial. The drug lord was ordered to forfeit $12.6 billion, which his cartel was said to have made from distributing drugs throughout the United States.

The evidence at the trial showed that Guzman’s Sinaloa cartel was responsible for smuggling mountains of cocaine and other drugs into the U.S. during his 25-year reign, prosecutors said in recent court papers. They said his “army of sicarios” was under orders to kidnap, torture and murder anyone who got in the way.

The defense argued that Guzman had been framed by other traffickers who'd become government witnesses so they could get breaks in their own cases. They also insisted his trial had been tainted by jurors improperly viewing media coverage of the case.

For those who don't know where Florence is, trust me, you might want to know where it is. That's the place where the USADX Florcence is. That is the country's most toughest maximum. They called the the Alcatraz of the Rockies.

A tearful Guzman Lorea waves to his family as he is taken away.

No one has ever escaped this facility. This facility is built in an area where anyone interned would never be able to find a marker for escape.

The inmates spend 23 hours a day locked in their cells and are escorted by a minimum of three officers for their five hours of private recreation per week. Each cell has a desk, stool, and bed, which are almost entirely made out of poured concrete, as well as toilets that shuts off if blocked, a shower that runs on a time to prevent flooding, and a sink lacking a potentially dangerous tap. Rooms may be fitted with polished steel mirrors bolted to the wall, an electric light that can be shut off only remotely, a radio, and a black and white television shows recreational, educational and religious programming.

The interns in there can't communicate with one another. The interns can't plot escape or riot because the staff are armed everyday and they are allowed to use deadly force if any attempts unfold.

He can appeal his sentence within five years of interment.
