Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel and serving a life sentence in the United States for drug trafficking, has formally complained to the court about restrictions preventing him from communicating with or receiving visits from his lawyer. He described this communication as "vital." The judge who sentenced him, Brian Cogan, responded that Guzmán had approached the wrong court and advised him to address the issue with the Bureau of Prisons or the Colorado court. Meanwhile, Rafael Caro Quintero, another high-profile drug lord, is reportedly facing extreme isolation and communication restrictions in Brooklyn prison, with his lawyers warning that his integrity is at risk under conditions likened to those for terrorists. These developments highlight ongoing concerns about the treatment and legal rights of incarcerated drug traffickers in the U.S. prison system.
