The northern prison where authorities suddenly transferred convicted drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán is rated as the worst in Mexico’s federal penitentiary system for inmate conditions and other factors, according to the government’s own reporting.

The Cefereso No. 9 facility on the outskirts of Ciudad Juárez, which borders El Paso, Texas, did score well on “conditions of governability,” perhaps an indication that authorities believe they can control Guzmán’s environment there and limit the risk of him pulling off a third brazen jailbreak.

But Michael Vigil, the former head of international operations for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, questioned the logic of sending Guzmán to a less-secure prison that is in territory firmly controlled by his Sinaloa cartel. …

The drugs must still be flowing here in enough quantity for them.

He’s wanted for murder in several states. Mexico won’t send him back if he faces a death penalty.

Don’t worry about this ol’ boy. He’ll quickly buy and/or intimidate his way into a suite with Jacuzzi, media center, hookers, personal chef, etc. Wonder if Vincente Fox will visit him and discuss how to best deal with their Trump problem.

“”I thought that there was a move to extridite him to the US?””

Geraldo did a show on him, Sean Penn and an actress last night and Geraldo said he would be in a US prison. Guess not!

Put him in a Mexican prison on the border with El Paso - makes it easier for his thugs to tunnel out again....or in this case - tunnel in and release him. Smart move!

That’s kind of a limited meaning, since in Mexico, outsiders may bring copious supplies to prisoners.

It’s simple: Guzman’s thugs are paying off Mexican officials.

The officials probably hope Guzman escapes again because that probably means more Pesos in their pockets.

In fact, I bet the thugs are greasing palms right now.
