Last January, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, better known as El Chapo Guzmán, was extradited to New York City, where he remains in an isolation cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Complex in Manhattan since Mexico expedited his extradition in the aftermath of the Barack government. Obama. Since then he waits for a trial to be held in Brooklyn federal court, where he has twice gone for preliminary hearings.

As defense attorneys Michelle Gelernt, Michael K. Schneider and Edward Zas revealed in March, the solitary confinement violates several of the rights of the inmate, who does not have access to sunlight, phone calls, contact with other human beings. or television, always locked in a tiny windowless cell. And they also assured that the living conditions behind bars worsened the physical and mental deterioration that their client was already dragging from his confinement in Mexico, which has resulted in headaches, breathing problems and irritation in the throat, as well as auditory hallucinations”.

Yesterday through a statement from their legal representative, it was revealed that although a magistrate had denied a request to allow El Chapo to receive visits from his wife, Emma Coronel Aispuro, both will be able to maintain written communication. “We are extremely disappointed that Mr. Guzmán and his wife are not able to see or speak to each other. This is devastating news for both of you. There is some small relief that the judge granted permission for Mr. Guzmán and his wife to exchange personal letters that the prosecution team will not read. We continue to believe that Mr. Guzmán's conditions of detention, including his detention in solitary confinement, are unsustainable, especially during the time it will take for this case to go to trial, the statement read.

El Chapo's legal team insists that their client has not been convicted of any crime and that they will continue to fight for their right to fair and humane treatment while waiting for their opportunity to face government accusations in court.
