Former Mexican drug lord Osiel Cardenas Guillen is out of hiding for the first time in nearly four years, having reported to a U.S. medium-security prison to serve a comparatively comfortable sentence negotiated by his attorneys.
Unlike some other major drug cartel figures, Cardenas avoided the harshness of the tomb-like Supermax in Colorado, where inmates are locked in cells and rarely see the sun.
Instead, records posted Wednesday show he is checked in at the United States Penitentiary, Atlanta, where he can walk the razor-wire-surrounded facility to go to meals, the library or recreation time. Up until now, he had been in custody in secret locations for security reasons.
Inmates at the 108-year-old facility wear khaki uniforms, are counted at least five times a day, can let their hair grow to any length and have access to a salad bar, according to the inmate handbook.

The sign says "Happy Kids Day from your friend Osiel Cárdenas Guillén"
Dead man walking. He must have ratted some major amigos to get this deal.
IS HE IN Phoenix?

Chillin’ in Atlanta. With a salad bar yet.
When one of the amigos he ratted out, have a shiv shoved up his butt, he’ll wish that he was in a max security prison.
It is a nightmare in America today.

There might be some salad tossing. Not necesarily a salad bar.
Plenty’o Mexican Mafia to watch over him. (until they figure out how to spring him)
