judge from a Mexico City penal court denied Torres Urrea's request to move him from Puente Grande to Penal de Aguaruto, a lower security prison in Culiacán. The transfer request was denied because of his criminal background, his social adaptability in prison, and for his familial ties with other members of the Sinaloa Cartel. The judge acknowledged that the prison conditions in Culiacán were not adequate for a high-profile criminal like Torres Urrea because of the prison breaks reported in the facility.
