Full title: Why there'll be no escape for El Chapo in 'the prison of all prisons’ known as the ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’


Mexican drug lord El Chapo faces spending the rest of his life at one of America’s most notorious prisons – to ensure he never escapes again.

The convicted drug smuggler, whose real name is Joaquin Guzman, has a record of jailbreaks, having already escaped two high-security Mexican prisons before being captured and extradited to the United States.

Experts now believe that Guzman is an ideal candidate for the federal government’s Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado – a facility so secure and remote that it has been called the ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’.

I can’t believe the Mexicans didn’t just do him in and note the file “Shot while trying to escape”.

[[having already escaped two high-security Mexican prisons]]

Yeeeeah! Bet that was real hard- all he had to do was threaten the guards and their families to look the other way while he made his ‘escape’ or else!

How long will it take for El Chapo to contact Trump’s people and offer to provide evidence and testimony on the politicians in the US who made his operation possible? El Chapo may get better prison accommodations and have some Democrats to keep him company.

The SuperMax facility in Florence, CO is basically a “tomb for the living.” Inmates have spent years there without ever seeing a tree or green grass. Their only window is to the sky and it’s basically a slat. Lots of videos on YouTube that give more detail.

Florence, Colorado, a facility so secure and remote that it has been called the ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’.

Nothing like a little hyperbole to sell an article.

The prison is located between Canon City and Pueblo, which located just off I-25.

If you study the architecture of ADX Supermax closely, you will see that it’s designed to be impregnable even to an attempt by military forces to enter it, as to rescue a national figure from American custody.

Oops, did I say that out loud?

Because of the weather and remote location, it was called Alcatraz when built.
