Breakfast at Tiffany's
El Chapo is probably still running his organized crime organization from prison. That's a KNOWN thing that mob bosses go to prison and continue calling the shots from inside the big house -- in other words, from a theoretically highly secure maximum security prison.
That's a minor plot point in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's:
Holly meets her new neighbor Paul Varjak as she readies to leave for her weekly visit to incarcerated mobster Sally Tomato. Tomato's lawyer pays her $100 a week to deliver "the weather report".
Sally Tomato is in Sing Sing, a maximum security prison. She comments on how ridiculous that report is and then sounds like she's naive and has no clue it's a coded message she's delivering or it wouldn't be worth $100 in 1961, which is the equivalent of more than a thousand dollars today.
I saw an interview once by a guy who spent time in prison who said "You can get ANYTHING in prison except a woman." So any illicit drugs you want, easily available.
I recently tripped across an article that I can't find again about a recent double execution in Florida. Florida is getting a reputation as a rabidly pro capital punishment state: Texas, once the national leader in capital punishment, ranks far behind Florida in 2025 executions
Florida executed 19 people in 2025 compared to 5 in Texas that year.
The double execution in the news currently in July 2026 is for:
1. Rape and murder of a child in 1987. (39 years ago)
2. A double murder in 1986. (40 years ago)
This is being protested by religious nutcases who think the state should not have the right to execute anyone ever for any reason and describes execution of people guilty of heinous crimes as "punishment" rather than as protecting the general public from them committing more such crimes, which is the real goal of capital punishment. The goal is to stop very bad people from continuing to commit heinous crimes.
According to Wikipedia, El Chapo:
... is believed to be responsible for the deaths of over 34,000 people, and was considered to be the most powerful drug trafficker in the world until he was extradited to the United States and sentenced to life in prison.
And the way to bet is his killing spree continues. Because he has been given life in prison for his crimes.
Justice delayed is justice denied. And in probably far more cases than I could convincingly argue, not fairly promptly executing people is defacto aiding and abetting their ongoing crime spree.
