El Chapo, the biggest drug lord and former Sinaloa cartel boss, already looks like a "different man" after three years in prison. The former drug lord has written a seven-page letter in English complaining that he "suffers from depression, maltreatment and memory loss" in the US high-security prison where he is serving his sentence.

El Chapo, whose real name is Joaquin Archivaldo Guzman Loera - has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty in 2019 to 10 counts of money laundering and drug trafficking.

He is serving his sentence in a high-security prison in Florence, Colorado, and says he is not being treated "fairly."

"Since my treatment in ADMAX prison, I now suffer from headaches, memory loss, muscle contractions, stress and depression. My treatment is cruel and unfair, it makes me suffer from physical and psychological problems. "I ask the court to intervene."

El Chapo refers to the court where he appealed against his sentence in October last year, a request that was rejected in January this year.

He had previously complained that he lived in "24 hours of torture" while in a New York prison.

The former drug boss says the cell where he now lives is only 3 square meters wide, with a window through which food passes.

El Chapo writes: “I have no verbal contact or communication with other prisoners. "I have no human contact, except with the guards who put me in and remove my handcuffs."

"I have not been allowed to talk to my wife since I came to the United States."

His wife, Emma Coronel, is also in prison after being sentenced to three years in prison for her role in her husband's 'empire'.

El Chapo claims, among other things, that the air coming into his cell is "very hot" and this happens for 15 minutes several times during the night, which disturbs his sleep.

He wrote: "Every night it makes my heart beat faster, raising my blood pressure. "I raised this issue with the staff but nothing happened."

"Even though I have no one else in my cell and I am there 24 hours a day, the prison guards come in several times to check and harass and harass all my facilities," the letter concludes.
