Alone in her cell, Coronel devotes herself to reading, as “they don’t offer her anything else to do to distract herself,” according to Colón. “She only spends a couple of hours in a small communal room,” Colon said. Coronel now spends 22 hours a day in a prison cell in Alexandria in the state of Virginia, in conditions denounced by her lawyer Mariel Colón.

Pronouncing the sentence, Judge Rudolph Contreras wished Coronel good luck. She asked for a sentence that would allow her to watch her 9-year-old twin daughters grow up. “I am suffering as a result of the pain that I caused my family.” “I express my true regrets for any and all harm that I may have done,” Coronel Aispuro said in Spanish before the sentence was announced. As part of her sentencing, she will also serve four years of supervised release after the prison sentence.
