Mexican Kingpin El Chapo Letter Accuses US Prison Officials of Bullying Him Out of Fear He Will Escape Again

Mexico drug cartel leader El Chapo’s previous two escapes from Mexican prisons were nothing short of amazing.

I can’t imagine the amount of compliance it takes for a mastermind scheme of that magnitude to be perfectly executed. Now the cartel boss is locked up in Unites States custody in a federal maximum security prison in Colorado.

He recently wrote a letter to the Chicago judge who sent him there accusing the officials of mistreatment, bullying & keeping him on permanent lockdown 23 hours a day because they fear he will slip away again. He also says he is not receiving new attorney documents for new court motions.

According to ABC 7 Chicago, nobody has ever broken out of the super max security facility, which is also referred to as the “Alcatraz of the Rockies,” since its opening in 1994.

Do you think El Chapo can pull off another escape plan? I think the US judicial and prison system is a lot different than Mexico. Once the Feds lock in it’s really no escape from that.

77-year-old Texas Lawyer Arrested for Allegedly Smuggling Drugs into Texas Jail

Wow I guess you’re never too old to hustle. I came across this article on Apple News and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I can’t imagine a senior citizen placing themselves in this situation even for a dollar but I guess crime pays extremely well, perhaps more than a lawyer’s salary.

A defense attorney in Houston, Texas, is facing up two felony charges and up to ten years in prison after being accused of smuggling drugs to inmates in a county jail.

According to the article, multiple inmates fell ill after injecting the drugs from laced paper documents. The lawyer is accused of being a major supplier of the drugs, disguised as regular mail. Inmates would pay anywhere from $250-500 to the attorney to bring in laced documents with ecstasy, synthetic marijuana and narcotics. Two inmates have died.

There are apparently other attorneys under investigation as well after an uptick in overdoses inside the jail. Over the past few years the jail has failed a number of inspections for things like laxed monitoring & failure to provide medical care to inmates.

Oklahoma Senator Challenges Teamsters President to Fight

Honey what is going on at the capital building? This was entertaining as hell!

CNN — Sen. Markwayne Mullin is not ashamed of his challenge to fight a union boss during a Senate hearing Tuesday.

Instead, the Oklahoma Republican is defending his behavior and actively suggesting that threats of violence have a special place in American history that should be revived.

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Wednesday, Mullin, a former professional MMA fighter, said a return to physical violence could help cure what he derided as a culture of “keyboard warriors” who “go out there and run their mouth all the time, and then they don’t ever have to face the consequences.”
