Infamous drug lord El Chapo has claimed he is being mistreated in the American supermax prison he's currently being held in.

El Chapo - real name Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera - has written a seven-page letter saying he's suffering from memory loss, headaches, depression and cramps.

The former kingpin was sentenced to life plus 30 years in prison after being found guilty in February 2019 of 10 charges relating to money laundering and drug trafficking.

He was extradited from Mexico to the USA in January 2017.

Since being sentenced, he has been held in a maximum-security prison in Florence, Colorado, which he now says is treating him unfairly.

El Chapo, now 65, penned the extraordinary letter in English, writing: "Due to the treatment at ADMAX, now I suffer from headaches, memory loss, muscle cramps, stress and depression.

"The treatment I receive is cruel and unfair, and it is causing me to suffer from psychological and health problems.

"I pray that this court intervenes."

El Chapo referred to the court where he appealed against his conviction in October last year – which they upheld in January this year.

He previously complained that he was living in "24-hour torture" during his stay at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in New York.

The former drug lord now described his new abode as a cell measuring seven by 12 feet with just a small window in which he is served his meals.

"I am ruled out of having any verbal contact or communication with other prisoners," he complained.

"I have no human contact, other than when the guards put on and take off my shackles."

He added: "Since my arrival in the United States, I have not been allowed to speak to my wife."

His wife, Emma Coronel, is also currently in jail serving a three-year sentence.

She is not expected to be released from the Texas prison until September next year.

The drug lord protested: "I have suffered a lot being in solitary confinement. My blood pressure has risen, leading to headaches and anxiety. Sometimes I forget things."

He added: "They serve me little food and I often stay hungry."

El Chapo claims that "extremely hot" air comes out of the ventilation every 15 minutes between four and five times a night, which wakes him up.

He penned "Every night this causes my heart to start beating rapidly, raising my blood pressure. I have raised this issue with staff, but no one has done anything.

"Even though I don't share a cell and am in my cell 24 hours a day, prison officials enter my cell several times a week to do routine searches, when they move and touch all my belongings."

Chapo should have been executed long ago. But since he wasn't, I'm digging the treatment.

Yeah, dude shouldn't even be alive. He should have been killed just like Pablo Escobar was terminated IMO. You don't put a rabid dog in a cage and feed it and give it vet care when it gets sick. That's a waste of money. You just shoot it.

exactly. off the fucker. i'll volunteer to put him down and won't lose a wink of sleep over it. i'll even bring my own gun and ammo.

but let's not forget he'd probably be free today if he wasn't handed over to the US. he escaped twice before in Mexico.

the Mexican government is the real unindicted co-conspirator here. they have been in bed with the cartels and their money for decades.

the only reason they handed him over to the US is to avoid another embarrassing escape by him.
... I'm surprised the Biden Administration hasn't released him yet.
