==== First arrest: 1993 ====
Guzmán was captured for the first time in Guatemala on 9 June 1993,<sup>[18]</sup> extradited
<nowiki> </nowiki>to Mexico and sentenced to 20 years, nine months in prison on charges 
of drug trafficking, criminal association and bribery. He was jailed at 
Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1, a maximum-security prison. On 
22 November 1995, he was transferred to the maximum security prison 
Federal Center for Social Rehabilitation No. 2 (also known as "Puente 
Grande") in Jalisco, after being convicted of three crimes: possession of firearms, drug trafficking and the murder of Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo
<nowiki> </nowiki>(the charge would later be dismissed by another judge). He had been 
tried and sentenced inside the federal prison on the outskirts of Almoloya de Juárez, Mexico State.<sup>[85]</sup>

While he was in prison, Guzmán's drug empire and cartel continued to 
operate unabated, run by his brother, [[Arturo Guzmán Loera]], known as ''El Pollo,''
<nowiki> </nowiki>with Guzmán himself still considered a major international drug 
trafficker by Mexico and the U.S. even while he was behind bars.<sup>[86]</sup>
<nowiki> </nowiki>Associates brought him suitcases of cash to bribe prison workers and 
allow the drug lord to maintain his opulent lifestyle even in prison, 
with prison guards acting like his servants.<sup>[87][88]</sup>
<nowiki> </nowiki>He met his longtime mistress and later Sinaloa associate, former police
<nowiki> </nowiki>officer Zulema Hernández, while in prison, where she was serving time 
for armed robbery.<sup>[89]</sup>
<nowiki> </nowiki>Hernández later controlled Sinaloa's expansion into Mexico City, but 
her body was found in a trunk, carved with multiple Zs, signifying [[Los Zetas]], Sinaloa's archrivals.<sup>[89]</sup>
