Convicted drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman wrote to the federal judge who oversaw his case, asking for his wife and young daughters to visit him in the notorious federal United States Penitentiary Florence, a supermax prison in Colorado, according to a handwritten letter obtained by CBS News.
Guzman is serving a life sentence plus 30 years at the supermax prison after being convicted of murder conspiracy and drug charges in 2019. The notorious prison is so isolated and remote that Guzman in January sent Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador an "SOS" to be extradited to Mexico due to the alleged "psychological torment" he said he was suffering in the U.S. prison.
The letter, which was filed on Friday and translated for the court, asked the judge to "authorize a visit from my wife and bring the girls as well."

The European Parliament, for the next five years, will now have a record number of far-right legislators. Far-right parties made gains in Europe's top three economies — Germany, France and Italy — with gains by politicians who campaigned against immigration, against support for Ukraine and against climate policy.

But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
