How El Chapo Escaped Prison | True Crime Documentary on His Capture and Transfer to a U.S. Supermax

How did one of the most powerful cartel leaders in history escape a high-security prison — and why will he never escape again?

This true crime documentary tells the real story of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, his dramatic escape from a Mexican prison, the massive manhunt that followed, and the international operation that finally brought him to justice. Using verified timelines, public records, and factual reporting, we break down the prison weaknesses, the coordinated outside help, the law enforcement response, and the reasons he now remains locked inside one of the most secure prisons in the United States.

From the moment his empty cell was discovered to the night heavily armed teams surrounded his safe house, every step of the investigation reveals shocking details about corruption, surveillance failures, and the unprecedented global effort to capture him. Today, El Chapo is held inside the ADX Florence Supermax, often called “the Alcatraz of the Rockies” — a place designed so that no one has ever escaped.

If you’re interested in true crime stories, cartel history, prison breaks, and supermax prisons, this video will keep you watching until the final second.
