El Chapo From Prison: Hey, Am I Still Famous?
Eventually, you’ll be familiar with El Chapo from the inevitable Netflix series based on his exploits, but in case you can’t wait that long, here’s a run-down:
Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was digging tunnels in Mexico long before the Donald hatched his cartoon supervillain plan to build a border wall.
The infamous drug lord escaped from prison twice before being recaptured and extradited to the United States.
As if that’s not Hollywood enough, it was actor Sean Penn who inadvertently led police to El Chapo after interviewing the head of the Sinaloa Cartel for a piece in Rolling Stone.
These days, Guzman’s life is considerably less glamorous.
The 62-year-old is currently being held in solitary confinement in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Complex.
Sources say Guzman is confined to a “closet-sized” cell 23 hours a day, five days a week.
He’s permitted to leave the cell for one hour each weekday so that he can work out on a treadmill or stationary bike to prevent his muscles from atrophying.
Chapo’s lawyers are in court this week arguing that the treatment is inhumane, and petitioning for their client to be relocated to the facility’s general population wing.
It’s a tough sell for a couple of reasons:
1. Chapo is a two-time escapee, and if prison officials are no doubt concerned that he’ll try again.
2. Chapo is an A-list celebrity in the crime world, a fact that could make him an esay target for inmates with something to prove.
Interestingly, insiders tell TMZ that Guzman isn’t all that concerned with the upcoming trial that will likely land him behind bars for the rest of his life.
Instead, he’s reportedly more focused on his celebrity status.
“He regularly asks his lawyers, ‘What are they saying about me?’ He’s very concerned about his image,” says a source inside the prison.
Of course, he needn’t worry too much, as a story like his probably won’t go too much longer without being adapted for the screen.
It’s a thorny issue, because on one hand, El Chapo is a murderous gangster who’s devastated whole communities, and thus, probably doesn’t deserve to be celebrated.
But on the other hand, the guy had to spend two days hanging out with Sean Penn.
So when you think about it, he’s really already suffered enough.

El Chapo: Caught Because of Sean Penn?!
As you may have heard, Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was apprehended after escaping from a Mexican prison back in July.
Guzman wields a tremendous amount of power in his home country, and after six months on the lam, international authorities reportedly began to question whether Mexicans authorities would be able to re-capture the head of the world’s largest criminal empire. Perhaps that’s why the US decided to intervene by offering up the services of our red-faced, booze-addled secret weapon – Sean Penn.
Confused? So is the rest of the world.
On Saturday night, Rolling Stone published a bizarre 11,000-word article in which Penn boasted about a secretive rendezvous with Guzman, during which, the international fugitive granted Penn an exclusive interview.
Of course, at this time, El Chapo was the world’s most wanted criminal, so Penn could find himself in legal trouble for failing to report his whereabouts.
But perhaps the most amazing part of this baffling story is that the authorities might be the least of Penn’s concerns.
The Associated Press is now reporting that Penn unwittingly played a role in Guzman’s arrest, which might well make the actor a marked man.
Moments ago, the news agency tweeted, “BREAKING: Mexican official says drug lord Guzman’s interview with actor Sean Penn led Mexican forces to his whereabouts.”
It wasn’t Penn’s intention to lead the cops to their man, but it seems Mexican law enforcement officials were tracking him – along with Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, who served as a go-between – throughout his communications with Guzman.
Whoops. Obviously, we hope Penn isn’t in any danger from Guzman’s cartel, but he may want to keep a low profile for the time being.
Sure, El Chapo once threatened to kill Donald Trump, but that doesn’t mean he’s cool with all rage-aholic American blowhards.
