His wife will not be allowed to visit him behind bars and Wednesday was likely the last time they will ever see each other. María Consuelo Loera Pérez, his mother, was denied a humanitarian visa by the US government so could not attend the hearing. Guzman will now be sent to a supermax prison to live out his days.

One of the biggest cartel drug lords in history ruling over a vast empire of illegal drugs, murder and corruption gets life +30 years.

A mentally-disturbed pro-white protester in Charlottesville who runs his car into another car which in turn strikes a morbidly obese antifa protester illegally blocking a public street gets life + 419 years.

And El Chapo will not serve anywhere near a full life term.

He’s lucky he didn’t back his car into a crowd of antifa and leftists.

Lucky for him, he was only in charge of a gang responsible for hundreds of brutal killings, dismemberments and beheadings and thousand of deaths due to the drug business.

Whatever happened to the Death Penalty for Drug Kingpins approach *-?

He was captured by the Mexican government and I believe there is something in their extradition treaty with us that prohibits them from extraditing anyone to face the death penalty. We probably had to agree to forego the death penalty in order to get him.

Fed prisoners don’t get out early like state convicts do. The next Democrat president will have to commute his sentence or pardon him.

Money for the wall. Fulfills the promise that Mexico will pay for it.

Just like in the Godfather. When a big family goes down, the others scramble for supremacy. But I would imagine that a kingpin will re-emerge.

I remember in the Godfather when Vito “Don” Corleone did not want to get into narcotics because it would hurt the kids. He wanted to stay in gambling, prostitution, and booze.

It might be similar. The old guys were mostly into narcotics, but didn’t get into sex trafficking which has become as or more important than the narcotic trade.

> It is cruel to keep a criminial in prison for a long time. <

In Stalin’s USSR there was - for a time - a law that said no person could be sentenced to more than 10 years imprisonment. And it was for the reason you said.

So any crime deserving of more than 10 years in jail became a capital offense instead.

In practice, people were often kept in prison for decades. Once their 10 year sentence was almost up, they’d be tried on a new trumped-up charge, and then get 10 more years.

Oh, if he really is willing to talk about Democrats he’d paid off previously a short life sentence seems like it could happen.

Thanks for that.

Too bad Mejico won’t do it.

Wonder if PDJT can issue an EO to that effect?

It would be interesting to see a judge try to strike it down.

the war on drugs was designed never to end.

No design needed - the higher the interdiction rates, the higher the dealers' profit margins, so intrinsically the more the war on drugs succeeds the more it fails.

We have more overdose deaths, more wasted spending, more people in prison per capita than anywhere in the world.

A big fail for the people. A big win for drug cartels, money laundering banks, politicians, prisons and police state agencies.

As we know, government never lets a crisis go to waste.
