A video obtained by a media outlet shows Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán inside a maximum-security prison in Mexico .
Clad in a beige uniform marked “ 3870 ,” the criminal answered the prison guard’s questions calmly, barely looking up as he scrubbed black ink from his hands.
Alias
? “El Chapo.” Occupation? “ Farmer .”
The interview is part of a four-year-old video released this week, offering a rare glimpse of the i nfamous drug lord Joaquín Guzmán, who is now imprisoned at a top-security U.S. prison .
The news site released a seven-minute video and photos that show law enforcement registering Guzmán at the Altiplano prison in 2016.

Guzmán’s arrest followed two earlier escapes ; one via a mile-long tunnel from the same jail , an incident that humiliated the Peña Nieto administration.
It was not immediately clear how the news outlet obtained the video or why did it publish it now.
In 2017, “El Chapo” Guzmán was extradited to the United States, where he was convicted of trafficking tons of cocaine , heroin , and other drugs as leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The photos show “El Chapo” being escorted inside the Altiplano prison , then guards searched him and shaved his thick mustache and mop of black hair.

Guzmán then responded to a seemingly routine questionnaire: 58 years old. Primary school education. Mother alive. Pants size 34.
And his wife’s name ?
“The one I’m married to is Alejandrina Salazar, ” he answered, head bowed as he worked to clean the ink from his hands. “But the one I live with is Emma Coronel .”
The feared criminal whose nickname means “Shorty” proceeded to sign a document, tugging at his uniform to check the inmate number emblazoned across his chest.
The footage of Guzmán , who grew marijuana as a child in Sinaloa , shows his hands dotted with freckles and liver spots.
Guards searched Guzmán again before leading him to a prison cell outfitted with a gray cement bench. They handed him a puffy jacket, a mattress, and two rolls of toilet paper before locking the door.
