How does a prison prepare for the arrival of known escape artist and Mexican drug kingpin, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera?
For the ADX "Supermax" prison in Florence, Colo., former warden Robert Hood said administrators will likely stick to the a formula that's prevented any jailbreaks for 25 years.
For 23 hours out of the day, El Chapo would be in a soundproof, 7-by-12-foot cell. The bed, desk and stool are all made of poured cement. While most inmates are given a black-and white-television, it's behind a special kind of glass and can be restricted to show old, never live, programs. Their only actual view of the outside world is a 4-inch window.
When El Chapo is sentenced in June, he's expected to receive life without parole. Former Supermax warden Hood believes there's no other prison better prepared for the drug lord than that in Colorado.
"When you look at El Chapo’s escape history, his violence, his access to funds and people, within the system it’s not even questioned," Hood said. "He will not go to a camp, he will not go to low-security or even a penitentiary. He will come to Colorado at the nation’s most high-security prison."

“Put all hope out of your mind. And masturbate as little as possible, it drains the strength!”
He will find he resources are dried up.
He is done. He won’t have the access to communications, or money.
He’ll die in that place.
And a concrete bed.
Looks like a room I rented in college.
I’d like to know his dailey routine. Does he have exercise time? He’ll have great medical care. Does he get books to read? Does he get drawing paper and writing instruments? The medical care could help him last another 15 to twenty years. I still would take my last meal and a bullet.
I don’t know many details. It’s solitary confinement for 23 hours a day. One hour for exercise. No matter what, it’s a miserable place.
In Japan that’s considered a spacious apartment.
Weekly conjugal visits from Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Mad Maxine.
In that case the hell with the last meal. I want the bullet now.
Our government always had the ability to put a stop to El Chapo. Heck, it's one of the reasons we have a CIA.
Is the toilet concrete also? That’s gotta be cold in winter.
If i had the power i would offer them a suicide pill.
you get a tv on the shelf for good behavior but the content is highly restricted

I’ve been to ADX. They have televisions, true, but they are controlled by the prison authority. That way they can manage behavior by using entertainment as a reward for good behavior or its restriction for punishment. I doubt that ADX is alone in this regard.
It is a cold, simple, very secure place with little variance to provide the smallest bit of entertainment for the prisoners; no mice, bugs, birds, etc., and the knowledge that everything you do, everything, is watched by a guard.
And to think a guy like Paul Manafort gets essentially the same treatment.
Who's your daddy, Mr. Pitbull?
bitches who Trump smacked
Jeb

Pitbull
Chapo
Yes, I have thought that also. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before we see a few well-chosen Deep-Swamp enemies of the people mysteriously disappear.
It only drains the strength if you waste it.
Nice to see they get a mattress and a pillow. If they could pipe in some radio and a few ball games, it would feel to me like an efficiency apartment.
