00:30 She is being held at Long Beach Residential Reentry Management in California at present,
00:37 according to US Bureau of Prisons records.
00:41 Prosecutors had initially asked for a four-year sentence.
00:44 However, US District Judge Rudolph Contreras said that a three-year term was enough considering
00:51 Emma's role was only a small piece of a massive organisation.

01:01 members while he was being held in Mexico's Alto Plano prison after his 2014 arrest.

01:27 Mexico.
01:28 Coronel was also given a further two years of supervised release.
01:33 She has two daughters with Guzman, whom she met when she was Yahoo Beauty Queen and married
01:38 in 2007 at age 18.
01:40 Meanwhile, El Chapo is serving a life sentence in the US after being convicted on murder
01:46 conspiracy and drug charges in February 2019.
01:50 He is serving his time in the infamous United States Penitentiary Florence, a supermax federal
01:55 prison in Colorado.
