Feds concerned drug lord 'El Chapo' may escape from New York prison Tuesday, May 28, 2019 There are new concerns that convicted drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman could be planning to escape from. The DOJ alleges that more than just acting as a messenger, Ms Aispuro actively helped plan El Chapo’s spectacular escape from the Altiplano prison in Mexico in 2015 through an underground tunnel.

Mexico's 'Puente Grande' federal prison - made famous by the 2001 escape of convicted drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman - is to be closed for good.

The facility, near the western city of Guadalajara, was known for such lax standards that it earned the nickname 'Big Door'.

The federal Public Safety Department did not give a specific reason for the closure, but said it was part of a modernisation effort aimed at ensuring prisoners' rights and rehabilitation.

It said all inmates currently at the prison will be transferred to other facilities.

The complex also houses at least one other state prison although it is not clear if that would remain open.

Guzman was serving a 20-year sentence when he escaped from the prison in 2001, allegedly in a laundry cart.

According to other versions, he simply paid off prison staff and walked out.

Guzman would remain on the run for another 13 years, before being re-arrested and escaping another Mexican prison through a tunnel.

He was finally re-apprehended, extradited to the United States in 2017 and sentenced to life behind bars in 2019.

But the Puente Grande complex continued making news earlier this year.
