Barriga-Beltran, who is 61, suffers from medical conditions, including hypertension, type II diabetes, coronary artery disease, and asthma which place him at heightened risk of complications were he to contract Covid-19.. While incarcerated, he has received a GED, completed treatment at EAC New Path outpatient clinic, and has become passionate about drug abuse education. Upon release, his family is ready to support him financially, emotionally, and medically.

Due to the strides Barriga-Beltran made while in prison as well as to his health issues and possible Covid-19 complications, the court granted him an education-based compassionate release.
