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.

Former Drug Kingpin Turned Actor Melvin Williams Dies At Age 73

Melvin Williams, a former Baltimore drug kingpin who inspired — and later appeared on — HBO’s critically acclaimed drama The Wire, has died, according to the Baltimore Sun. He was 73.

Williams — also known as “Little Melvin” — was for a time best known for his role in the booming Baltimore drug trade. In 1987, Williams was the subject of a five-part series by then-Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon, who would go on to create The Wire. The drama ran on HBO for five seasons from 2002-08 and is widely regarded as one of the best series of all time.

Following his release from prison in 1996, Williams left his life of crime and even appeared on the show on a recurring basis, playing a character called the Deacon.

On Thursday, Simon paid tribute to Williams, calling him the man “who made me begin to rethink the drug war” on Twitter.
