SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 5 – Pablo Palos Garcia is detained on drug charges in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
On January 5, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John G. Koeltl held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Koeltl had ordered the MDC to provide Garcia with meals for diabetics. But MDC counsel Sophia Papapetru responded that "there is no special diet for inmates that have diabetes... It is the inmates [sic] responsibility to refrain from poor lifestyle choices of purchases on commissary."
Judge Koeltl expressed surprise at the answer, and asked that the Warden respond by January 7.
The case is US v. Palos Garcia, 21-cr-340 (Koeltl)
