El Chapo: King of jailbreaks could be spending the rest of his life in the 'Alcatraz of the Rockies'

El Chapo will likely spend the rest of his life at ADX Florence after being found guilty of masterminding an international drug smuggling cartel on Tuesday
UPDATED FEB 13, 2019

On February 12, 61-year-old drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman was convicted of 10 counts of various drug trafficking charges at a US District Court in Brooklyn after he was found guilty of running the world's largest drug smuggling operation. Guzman's decades-long criminal career included money laundering, weapons offenses, as well as the murder of his rivals.

His criminal record will probably see him safely ensconced in USP Florence ADMAX aka the Alcatraz of the Rockies — a 490-bed "supermax" jail located in Florence, Colorado, 90 miles south of Denver, where inmates are held in special "control units" that function as prisons within prisons, reports Daily Mail.
