Lawyers for 'El Chapo' Argue Jail Conditions 'Too Restrictive'

Attorneys for Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman argued in federal court Friday that he is being held in conditions that are "too restrictive" — so deplorable, they say, that he was even denied water. "Essentially, he's locked in a cell for 23 hours a day," defense attorney Michelle Gelernt later told reporters gathered outside the Brooklyn, New York, court building. "He's only permitted out for limited members of our office and one hour of exercise a day — it's extremely restrictive."
