'El chapo' escaped from a high security prison for the first time back in 2001.

Infamous drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who humiliated authorities when he tunneled out of a maximum-security prison in July, has been captured, Mexico's president said Friday.
"Mission accomplished," Enrique Pena Nieto said on Twitter. "We have him."
A law enforcement source confirmed the arrest to NBC News.
The Mexican Navy carried out the operation, according to leading Mexican newspaper El Universal. The navy, seen as less corruptible than the country's police forces and army, has taken the lead in fighting the cartels.
The navy said in a statement that marines, acting on a tip, stormed into a home in the town of Los Mochis before dawn. They were fired on from inside the building. Five suspects were killed and six others arrested, according to the statement.
Guzman, leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel and a master of underground tunnels, set off a furious manhunt on July 11 when he casually slipped into a hole in his shower at Altiplano prison near Mexico City and fled through a mile-long tunnel outfitted with a motorbike that led to a residential construction site.
The Hollywood-style escape was a huge embarrassment for Mexican officials — in particular because Guzman and his organization were known for building tunnels under the U.S.-Mexico border. Guzman had escaped from prison once before, in 2001, purportedly hidden in a laundry cart.
Since the Altiplano escape, 23 prison officials and employees have been arrested, and several of Guzman's Sinaloa underlings have been rounded up. The getaway damaged relations between Mexican and American anti-drug authorities, who had warned that Guzman's associates would try to break him out of Altiplano.
After fleeing the prison, Guzman traveled by land to the city of Queretaro, where officials say he caught a small plane to a mountainous region of Sinaloa, his home state and stronghold, Attorney General Arely Gomez has said. A second plan also took off in an apparent attempt to throw off pursuers.
The escape was organized by a member of Guzman's legal team who had access to Altiplano and was able to keep his boss updated on the plan's progress, authorities have said.
A Guzman brother-in-law is also believed to have supervised construction of the tunnel. A third conspirator allegedly negotiated the purchase of the plot of land where the tunnel emerged.
Marines nearly captured Guzman in October after U.S. drug agents intercepted cell phone signals that led them to a ranch in the Sierra Madre mountains in western Mexico, sources told NBC News at the time. But the government forces were turned back by heavy gunfire, and Guzman was able to flee. Officials believe he was injured in that near-miss.
Guzman, believed to be about 60, has long been a popular anti-hero in Sinaloa and across Mexico for dodging death and evading bullets while turning the multibillion-dollar Sinaloa cartel into the world's most powerful — and ruthless — drug trafficking organization.
His exploits are chronicled in folk songs. Young people in his impoverished home state rally in support of him, despite his being responsible for the murders of thousands of Mexicans, including police officers and innocent civilians.

They need to hang him. Prison doesn't send a message to these types. Hang him and all his inner circle one by one and leave the bodies high on a lamp post by the city gates.

Mexico has extradited to the United States its most notorious drug trafficker, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera, according to statements from officials of both countries.
A statement by the U.S. Justice Department says Guzman faces six separate indictments around the country for crimes "in connection with his leadership of the Mexican organized crime syndicate known as the Sinaloa Cartel."
Charges against Guzman in the U.S. include murder, drug trafficking and money-laundering.
Guzman is both reviled and storied among Mexicans. In his home region in northwest Mexico, some see him as a success story from a poor background. More widely, he is seen as a symbol of the ruthless drug trade that has killed tens of thousands of Mexicans and helped empower corrupt police and politicians.

THE epic tale of Penn’s awkward rendezvous with notorious drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán in 2015 has a tawdry twist — the Mexican actor who facilitated the meeting revealed Friday she had sex with the Oscar winner.
“I never fell for him. We had sex,” former soap star Kate del Castillo told Good Morning America” about her encounter with Penn, reports the New York Post.
“We’re both adults, single and something was going on, but that was it. It was business.”
Del Castillo — initially rumoured to have had a fling with El Chapo — revealed she instead bedded the Mystic River star during his misguided attempt to interview the infamous Sinaloa cartel leader.
“It was so stupid,” del Castillo said about her rumoured affair with the drug lord.
“They were all thinking I had something to do with El Chapo and nobody ask me [about Penn] — and I’m not bragging about that.”
Quote:Quote:
The actor went public with the dalliance after Penn attempted to stop Netflix from streaming her three-part documentary about the meeting.
Del Castillo’s doc, The Day I Met El Chapo: The Kate del Castillo Story, revolves around the secretive set up between Penn and El Chapo — which led to a story by Penn in Rolling Stone magazine.
When asked why she waiting so long to reveal the fling, the seductive actor said “nobody asked me.”
The film depicts the pair wining and dining as the Fast Times at Ridgemont High actor seduces her.
“He said, ‘That moment when you touched my chest, I knew something would happen between us,’” del Castillo recalls Penn telling her in the documentary, according to The Daily Mail.
The actor added that when they got back from the meeting, “We were very moved so [it] made sense that something would happen.”
Penn has been fighting the release of the documentary.
The actor is in a rage about allegations that he tipped off US authorities about Chapo’s whereabouts — and believes that the release of the documentary may put him in harm’s way.
Penn’s lawyers have told Netflix execs that “blood will be on their hands” if they air the series. El Chapo was captured during a shootout three months after his meeting with Penn in the jungle.
