Daniel Sancho's prison routine and MS-13 homicide sentencing
New details have emerged regarding the daily life of Daniel Sancho, who is serving a life sentence in the Surat Thani prison in Thailand. Journalist Joaquín Campos describes a harsh routine dictated by natural light, where Sancho is awake from 5:00 AM until sunset at 5:00 PM. The environment lacks structured activities, reading materials, or television accessible to him due to the language barrier, contributing to significant psychological strain.
In El Salvador, Melvin Ulises Mejía López has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for the 2014 aggravated homicide of a 32-year-old police officer in San Salvador. The crime occurred while the officer was off duty in an area controlled by the MS-13 gang. Because Mejía López was a fugitive during the trial, the court has issued a new arrest warrant to ensure he is taken into custody to serve his sentence.
