The notorious drug kingpin has previously escaped from two Mexican prisons.
New York prison officials are concerned that notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is planning another audacious escape effort, after being convicted on 10 counts of drug trafficking and conspiracy to murder earlier this year.
But according to The Washington Post, Guzman may be trying to escape before he can be sentenced. The drug kingpin successfully executed two bold prison escapes while being held in Mexico, including one in which he slipped away through a mile-long tunnel dug under the jail where he was detained. But prison officials are refusing to make concessions. According to CNN, authorities cited a 1981 plot to break a prisoner out of the same facility as an example of the risks of giving Guzman more freedom. In that foiled plan, the escape team hijacked a sightseeing helicopter and flew to the facility, where they attempted to cut open the wire mesh surrounding the jail.
