Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Denied Sleep Seeks Transfer to U.S. Prison

EL Chapo wants to be extradited to the United States as soon as possible because guards at a Mexican maximum-security prison won't let him sleep, his lawyer has said.

Police in Cambridge, MA take turns with criminals disturbing my sleep every one or two hours every day. Do Cambridge psychopaths think I am the son of El Chapo? Are they prison guards masquerading as lawyers, police and psychologists? 

[From article]
EL Chapo wants to be extradited to the United States as soon as possible because guards at a Mexican maximum-security prison won't let him sleep, his lawyer has said.
Lawyer Jose Refugio Rodriguez said the cartel leader, whose real name is Joaquin Guzman, told him to negotiate with U.S. authorities for a lighter sentence and confinement at a medium-security prison.
[. . .]
But Rodriguez suggested it could be done in two months, presumably if Guzman dropped an estimated nine appeals his lawyers have filed.
However, Rodriguez said 'we won't drop the (legal) defense in Mexico until we have an agreement with the United States.'
Officials have acknowledged that guards at the Altilplano prison wake Guzman every four hours for a head count. He escaped the same prison in July and was recaptured in January.
The harsher regime — Guzman also has fewer visits than during his last stint in prison — seems to have broken him.
'I saw a defeated, humiliated man,' Rodriguez said

Arrests were being made across the state Thursday morning as about four dozen current and former state prison guards were told they face drug and bribery charges.
The charges are outlined in eight federal indictments, which have recently been unsealed. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Atlanta plans an afternoon press conference to announce the charges.
The indictments are part of a continuing crackdown to rid the state prison system of
The new indictments allege corruption by guards from Phillips, Macon, Dooly, Hancock, Pulaski and Baldwin state prisons. Five of the guards being charged were members of the Department of Corrections’ tactical team, which works to rid prisons of contraband and control riots.drugs, corruption and contraband cell phones which are being used by inmates to commit crimes outside the prison walls.
According to one indictment, guards allegedly believed they were providing protection to a Locust Grove-area drug dealing who was transporting multiple kilograms of methamphetamine and cocaine. In exchange, the guards received thousands of dollars in bribes, the indictment said.

The nearly 70 gram package was confiscated, and Bartley was collared on charges of rape in the third degree, sexual misconduct, official misconduct, promoting prison contraband, and criminal possession of marijuana in the fourth degree, authorities said.
“Such corrupt and indecent actions contribute to the troubling conditions on Rikers Island, and undermine safety and security there,” Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said in a statement.

[From article]

A Rikers Island correction officer raped a female inmate for more than 15 minutes while another officer watched, a new Manhattan federal lawsuit charges.
The woman, identified only as “Jane Doe,” was on a Department of Correction bus inside the jail complex March 20 when a male inmate bribed a correction officer to leave him alone with her and the pair had apparently consensual sex, according to the legal papers.
But then the officer got back on the bus, told the male inmate to get lost, and raped the woman, the suit says.

Rikers Island (NYC) Inmate Saves Guard From Rape By Fellow Convict

[From article]
A skinny inmate slipped inside the so-called “A station” bubble through the small crack and opened the security door. A team of inmates then took down the assailant, Raleek Young, 27, until other officers arrived.
During the attack, Young, who is 5-foot-9 and weighs 290 pounds, pulled down his pants and began masturbating while choking the officer, court records show.
He dragged the officer into an adjacent bathroom and blocked her from opening the security door.
[. . .]
The majority of the attack was caught on video, a source who watched the tape said.
[. . .]
“There must be accountability,” Seabrook fumed Monday. “Officers are assaulted every day, and (Bronx DA Robert Johnson) has the audacity to say, ‘Not today, bring him back at another time.’ I will not tolerate it. I will not stand for it.”
Young was arraigned Monday in Bronx Criminal Court. He is facing a slew of new charges, including: attempted rape, sexual abuse, forcible touching, and assault and harassment.
The criminal complaint says Young ripped off the correction officer’s sweater and “placed his lips on her mouth and about her face.”

New York City Corrections Officers Union Scrutinized By US Attorney

[From article]
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara’s office appears to be focusing in part on claims in a union official’s lawsuit alleging the improper investment of union funds. Among the allegations in the lawsuit is that Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association President Norman Seabrook made a risky $5 million investment into an unnamed hedge fund last year without union board approval.

The investigation comes as Bharara negotiates a class-action lawsuit against the city claiming systemwide brutality against inmates by jail guards at the Rikers Island jail complex.
Abuse, neglect and corruption at Rikers have been the subject of increased media attention for more than a year after the AP first reported on claims of widespread brutality in the lockups and the gruesome deaths of mentally ill inmates.

The 19 prisoners allege in a new Brooklyn federal lawsuit that they fell violently ill after being served meals in their housing unit on March 3 during a three-day lockdown stemming from the attempted sex assault, court papers state.

“Some of the inmates kept the food as evidence,” she told the Post Monday. “I personally saw what looked like blue pellets – especially in the meatloaf – that are consistent with rat poison.”
Squillace said that a prisoner is usually assigned to assist Rikers staff in preparing and distributing meals. But that inmate – Ellis Wilson – claims he was suspiciously barred from taking part in the process on the day of the incident.

Inmates then left the prison through the main doors, even taking with them guns and munitions they had taken from prison caches.
Police later found a bag of lingerie and dominatrix police uniforms believed to have been worn by the temptresses.

NYC Woman Corrections Officer Reveals Institutional Sex, Drugs and Physical Abuses

[From article]
A federal probe branded the 11,500-inmate jail a “broken institution” where guards routinely use excessive force and violate teen inmates’ rights. Less than a month after the Aug. 4 report, Florence Finkle, the commissioner overseeing investigations at Rikers, resigned.
[. . .]
“I see these female officers who came in with me. They’re in here giving [oral sex] and stuff so they don’t have to work with these prisoners and work those areas,” Miller says.
[. . .]
“Most females in my jail that were in office positions either had a family member with clout or was screwing a boss or someone with, as we would call it, ‘juice.’

Drug-dealing officers could pull in an extra $2,000 minimum a week.

“[In] every jail there was an officer dealing drugs,” she said. “And it’s no secret they were getting high off cocaine, smoking weed and drinking. From officers up to chiefs.”

While Majdanek was also used as a labor camp - meaning guards theoretically could have worked there at certain times and not been involved in the Nazi genocide - prosecutors focused on guards allegedly present during the killings.
The Auschwitz investigation also continues and Schrimm said he expects more suspects will be announced 'in the coming months'.
Efraim Zuroff, the head Nazi-hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, urged state prosecutors to prioritize the new cases, given the advanced age of the

Woman Prison Guard Pregnant By Inmate Killer of Two Cops

There is a compelling reason to love the priorities of the law enforcement community in Massachusetts. Here's a charming man who was sentenced to death after being  convicted of killing two police officers. While in federal prison he gets a prison guard pregnant. But in Cambridge MA police working with crime families and those inspiring FBI informants, feminists, black racists and homosexuals, attack a 70-year-old white man and bar him from speaking with women and other kinds of humans. Shows how misguided the limousine liberals are in the god-forsaken host city of Harvard University, Lesley University and MIT.
