Lawyer says jailed Guzman treated worse than Hitler, minister denies

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is being treated worse in prison than Adolf Hitler would have been, one of his lawyers said Wednesday.

"He's denied access to his family, he's denied access to his lawyers, he's denied access to the most basic things .... He can't eat, he can't sleep ... even if they had captured Adolf Hitler alive, they wouldn't be treating him as they are treating Mr. Guzman," lawyer Jose Luis Gonzalez Meza said in an interview with Mexico's Radio Formula.

Gonzalez maintains his client has been held "totally incommunicado" since he was readmitted to a maximum security prison in central Mexico, following his capture early Friday during a raid on his hideout in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, his home state.

Authorities did say they have beefed up security at the facility to prevent Guzman escaping for a third time, including reinforcing cell floors with metal railings.

They should drop their appeals against extradition so he can be moved to the US quickly where he will be treated better.

Didn't he escaped once? So, being placed in solidarity confinement is the natural order of things.

Of course one who has mired in luxury needs a substantial period to adjust to the exclusive Hilton.

Escaped twice. He was in solitary before.

Blindfold him and shoot him.......

Perhaps he should be introduced to the Thai guy who stole in order to get into jail...

Aaaaw, the poor wee mannie, my heart bleeds for him.

Hang the barsteward, or better still shoot him up with his own filthy drugs. and leave him to karma.

Hitler was in jail.. There he wrote Mein Kampf!

Gonzalez, how do you know he can't eat or sleep? Is the "totally incommunicado" not quite so "totally"?

Oh boo hoo. 'Thinks he's being "mistreated" now? If only we could bring back some of your victims to be your jailers. Users aid & abet monsters like this with their patronage - they should get the chance to join him for a few days.

"...Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is being treated worse in prison than Adolf Hitler..."

My heart bleeds for him...NOT!

Maybe he should end his life to end his horrible treatment. That would be far better than the people got, whose deaths he has been directly or indirectly involved in.

[wabothai]

mr. lawyer had better brush up on Hitler's experiences in his jail cel.

It looked like a luxurious apartment.

Hitler was in custody. By whom

Hitler was in custody. By whom

Your ISP is blocking google or what? For leading the Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler was found guilty of high treason and incarcerated at Landsberg Prison in 1924. (Just think what the world would have been spared had they just shot him instead.)

"treated worst that Hitler"......that would make him DEAD!
