El Chapo arrives at the ‘Alcatraz of the Rockies’ to serve life sentence

The infamous Mexican drug lord was confirmed as received at the Administrative Maximum U.S. Penitentiary (ADX) in Florence, Colorado on July 19. El Chapo, who has escaped maximum security prisons twice in Mexico, was given life in prison plus 30 years by a New York court on July 17. ADX Florence is the most secure “supermax” prison in the United States.

Can't see him, but @nypost says El Chapo was inside this NYPD helicopter that left the city this morning around 3am, headed for supermax. https://t.co/YFcwVYc8gE pic.twitter.com/H99pIsCx9Q
