So yeah, he doesn't leave his cell. It is boring. It's monotonous. It's a daily routine. It is very sad but here's the difference. He's alive. And that means he could do plenty of things, unlike many of his victims. After rendering the verdict, one of the 12 anonymous jurors reached out to journalist Keegan Hamilton from Vice News and alleged that many of those on the panel ignored the judge's instructions to stay away from any news reports about the case and lied when asked if they had been exposed to certain information.
Prosecutors say El Chapo shouldn't get a new trial or hearing to question juror conduct. At the time, Guzman's attorneys filed a motion seeking a new trial, but it was denied. I really don't think there is a basis there. But according to Colon, Guzman remains optimistic. Still, Donovan believes El Chapo will live out the rest of his days alone, in prison. He has no chance at all of ever getting out of there.

On January 19, , his electronically secured cell was opened and prison guards escorted Guzman in a cart of dirty laundry through unsecured hallways, before he reached the car park and jumped into the boot of a Chevrolet Monte Carlo.

He fled through a hole under the shower in his cell that continued to a mile-long ventilated and lighted tunnel that led to a construction site, equipped with a motorbike on rails to aid his speedy getaway.
