Drug Kingpin 'El Chapo' Complains Jail Conditions Too Strict in NYC

He's locked up 23 hours a day. His wife can't visit him. He can't call anyone, except his lawyers. He even was denied water, his lawyers say.

The strict jail conditions for notorious Mexican drug lord and escape artist Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman were outlined on Friday by defense attorneys in a failed bid to get a judge to loosen them.

Guzman smiled at his common-law wife, Emma Coronel, as he was led into the Brooklyn courtroom under heavy guard by deputy U.S. marshals at his second court appearance since being brought to the United States on Jan. 19.

"This was so far the only way she has been able to see him," defense attorney Michelle Gelernt said afterward with a silent Coronel at her side.

F*** HIM!! That's what he gets when he becomes a criminal! Criminals should lose all rights and privileges as a citizen when they break the law.

He's still a citizen of Mexico, and a guest of the U.S. He's treated as a high escape risk inmate.
