El ChapoLife in prison seems to be getting lonelier, as he’s now asking a judge to allow his wife to visit him in prison… and for his young daughters to give him a ring.
The notorious Mexican cartel boss is asking a New York court to authorize a family visit to the United States’ supermax prison in Florence, Colorado – where he will spend the rest of his life behind bars.
That’s not all… The former drug lord is also asking the court to allow him to continue making two 15-minute calls a month to his girls – from which he was cut off last May, which he says was due to the government’s fault is because he is trying to drop his case and he believes they are retaliating.
Chapo writes of the prosecutor in his case: “She was certainly upset because I exposed in the pro se filing the inefficiency of the attorneys who failed to combat the prosecutors’ anomalies throughout the trial.”
He adds: “And in response they decided to punish me by not letting me speak to my daughters. To this day they haven’t told me if they will stop calling me with my girls. That’s why I’m bothering you.” , since you approved these two calls per month. Therefore, I ask for your intervention as this is unprecedented discrimination against me.
He goes on to say that this is the only way he can communicate with his children since they live in Mexico… and can’t visit him here in the US without a visa, which they don’t currently have.
Chapo goes on to say that the only person who could theoretically visit him in person would be his wife Emma Coronel – and he is asking the court to give her the green light to do so. He doesn’t mention a conjugal visit here… but well, you know.
Funnily enough… Chapo signs this letter himself, and it sounds like he wrote it in his own words too. So this obviously means a lot to him… and he writes in English to boot.
Emma herself was too behind bars for a while – until she got out of prison last year… and has been living in LA ever since. You’ll remember…Emma moved into the city and celebrated shortly after she emerged.

As we reported…El Chapo was found guilty already in 2019 for participation in an ongoing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to launder money from drug proceeds, international distribution of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and other drugs, and use of firearms.
This, of course, came after the Sinaloa Cartel leader was captured by the Mexican government in 2014, before famously escaping the prison cell through a mile-long underground tunnel more than a year later – only to be caught again in early 2016.
The guy may be in prison for the rest of his life… but he wants some company along the way – and is hoping the court throws him a lifeline in that regard.
