FULL- TEXT - El Chapo Resurfaces with a Desperate Letter in English from Supermax Prison

Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán has made himself heard again from inside the ADX Florence in Colorado, one of the United States' most restrictive federal prisons. This time the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel wrote a handwritten letter in English that pleads for "fairness" and claims his constitutional rights have been violated.

In the one-page note, reviewed by the Latin Times, Guzmán addresses the federal court that sentenced him and asks for what he describes as "a fair treatment in this country." He also writes, "I am seeking attention for my 1st Amendment rights, and the violation of the 8th Amendment was broken."
