incorrigible pipe the guy in the head was told I was too violent for that facility knocking out lanes was my clean Fame I was sent to the Chino Guidance Center where I met little buffaloes and condole Gilroy who was the start of my destiny where the buff and Hondo saw fellow inmates who shared the same idea and it began in DVI in 1957.
Took a while to grow but in 1961 we had the core group of kindness and we was able to control the inmate population by 1965 we was an Unstoppable Force we formed the lead gang of Highly violent individuals who commanded respect Answer to No One and dealt with the consequences like I was saying only the hardcore gangsters best of the best I'd like to join call it the Mexican Mafia you've been really too many books essay now I've seen you've been around we got the respect status Creature Comforts it's time to take it to the next level dog PBI we recruited the most get-down gangsters out

three to four hundred members in prison and you double that on the outside they have a long violent bloody history and the fact that people are starting to turn up dead suddenly could serve as the wake up call it the Mexican Mafia Orlando because no myth but instead a cold-blooded reality born in prison to survive they thrive on the Streets of L.A to kill now we warn you there are some graphic scenes you might find objections [Music] oh everybody fears all the prison gangs they control the inside all the criminal activity anybody that shows weakness is executed without exception they are the gang of ganks vicious calculating Fearless deadly they kill their enemies they kill their own if crossed to get in you spill blood and to leave the blood could be yours this is life for the Mexican Mafia take a little bit for ourselves take care of the family that's the thing leaving them behind it it's it's it's not cool man I know it's not cool but we're already in the family the family's inside I mean that's that's the commitment that's what we say Joe well you sure you want to do this you get caught you get washed up on them the way I see it we get caught we're going home let's walk [Applause] foreign foreign we've been praying for you I know you have been up to no good in the neighborhood but let me show you something see these hands these hands are made to Worship the Lord not to hurt anybody God's got a plan for your life we're not promised tomorrow I don't want to hear sermon fellas I just came to pick him up I will eat them I get it the Bible says in the Book of Romans chapter 3 verse 23 that we're all Sinners we've all fallen short of the glory of God he broke his Commandments we needed a savior Jesus came two thousand years ago died on the cross and he rose again resurrection power if you believe in him with your heart of eternal life with them Gilroy Jesus loves you man you know those ain't the pastor's words that's scripture I gotta go life seems slow on the inside but in reality it goes as fast as it does on the outside before we knew it our youth had been swallowed by time and left us wondering if it was all worthy we stayed busy attempting to disguise our doubt and not be perceived as weak most of my days in prison will fill a routine and laughter it seems strange I say laughter I could tell a joke with the best of them but it was with me Compadres Big D baby baby Juan green eyes pretty Bob sporty Gill and Champion an inmate could almost feel normal in real time the only thing missing was a cold beer women gossiping in the Next Room and kids playing in the yard for now this was the only family I had it was a fun and dangerous ride with my friends foreign some nicknames were given to us as children some are requested by the individual and some just fit for pretty Bob I highly respect your brother there was really nothing else that fit no matter how we tried to look it was still pretty the girl swooned when it looked their way like he was a Hollywood star other Apollos are simple like sleepy peanut butter Juan green nice and Champion it's common to even not know the person's legal name coming into a prison there will always be a speech from the society it was usually about respect I mean let's face it placing that many men together without the expectation of respect would be a nightmare for everyone for us and the officers it was nothing personal just business my name is Sergeant Smith you have been assigned to my prison because you have been convicted of a crime it is my job in this year of prison to enforce the rules your job follow them it is not my job to display my personal feelings in regards the nature of your crime you will be treated with respect but I expect each one of you return that respect good luck man [Music] we did everything we could to stay busy most inmates were on the same hamster wheel as the outside go to work at the prison job and return to the cell tired go to sleep and return to work in the morning Mainland wasn't bad at all we could pretty much do what everyone listen to music or Sports on the prison radio system play board games read books sometimes our program went fast and sometimes it went slow but the most important game we played was the one in our own mind pushing through another tough night [Music] okay [Music] looking good and working out was and still is and will always be important for them the high carb prison food could quickly turn a lean individual into a sloth and that could yeah they gave us way sustained shape and release our aggression but they could also be weapons took out one of our brothers on the weight bench we stayed on tools for a while Charlie Manson his cell was next to mine he played the crazy part for the public it wasn't like that with the enemies he used to sing with us all the time he used to sing Barry Manilow he used to sing um Frank Sinatra and he liked the Backstreet Boys for a little bit sometimes it's still the night he would hear play being shopping the concrete and he would say to yourself who's next sometimes it was me that was sharp pains blade to maintain the fear of everyone around me how many people have you killed so all you guys already agreed to hey Richie but you're coming to the table what is it he is one of our Donuts Carnales but he crossed the line it's time to send him home yeah what do you stay I don't know about the recipe we have no choice something to Brazil produced Rebecca brother known for a lot of years but this is strictly business and I'm kind of so we'll get spider on it and we'll handle it clean really foreign I put in a lot of work but it was better to get off on them first before they came back and hurt us I'm not proud of my past but I did what I did I don't think it's wise for you to know the details there's no statute of limitations on murder [Music] another way we stay busy was through events at the prison which was mostly reserved for the Honor Box inmates with Team time and the two printed gold at least listen on the headphones themselves it was popular for bands to visit the prisoners most notably Johnny Cash once in a while the circus made his way through the correctional system even Billy Graham comes middle than I know these seeds would grow in but more on that name we also had internal tournaments such as handball basketball boxing it was a reason to stay in shape and an opportunity for me to participate in the sport I love foxy many of the brothers were trained boxers and a few of them would have had a shot at the big time had they chosen a different path foreign I put a lot of work I earn my respect and I want to be a good man you don't ask us you know ask Chris if we ask you foreign Joker couldn't wait for the end to call and quickly became a shock collar for the merciful media in a few short years he'll be representing our enemy from the north and getting a peace treaty made with his iron Cheyenne [Music] still all for this Monday [Music] been in there a minute look at you I've been sweating flapjacks get here youngster come on get your hearts done nobody full step back before you get hurt come on get in here youngster get you a lesson all right Jones invited him into the ring and Joker accepted woundy play with Joker having fun slapping me around a little oh man my Angry Joker was getting and not stopped the trash talking by the end of the fight I'm hoping and [ __ ] Joker was also talking trash ready for this one man [Music] broke her head under respect I believe he was disrespected by moving he left the ring to turn to see vengeance I made a deal with a trustee who worked in the Sergeant's office he had access to information on incoming prisoners he was successful in placing new inmates in specific housing units he knew them by their names their gang affiliations and their crimes it cost me a spoon of ham whenever shipment Federal bus coming in tomorrow morning finally look there's about Tony and Gonzalez on that bus a package for us or get me the package calling this press inspection on Thursday the good squad will be ready in case in case of any resistance who's on the bus this morning's crew has a load of no accounts except y'all Morgan tomorrow one of yours is landing Rich Mendes crazy boy Cherry gets on this too I don't know me I was counting on the boredom of correctional officers to pull off my plan I mean it was locked up like us for 30 Years anyway Kilroy here and I'm putting this tear on notice crazy boy kick my pregnant daughter you may not think it's personal but it is anybody got a problem say it now in my era we took care of the situation we wanted to hit somebody we hit him from God I did my best to take them out but he survived the encounter in his release from prison shortly after unfortunately for him he was killed on the street Joe Morgan was a progressive thinker and was moving some of the younger brothers in the organization forward he jumped them in that man in which all members assisted each other to the greater end why'd you move me to yourself y'all had an open bunk 'd find out another fight next to me pgf catch me without my leg and it's over no no we could do damage if we stay together federals and youngsters One Vision put it on me one of the incidents that elevated tension between the North and the South happened in September of 1968 it's known as the fuel most of the inmates were Brewing Bruno awaiting Mexican Independence Day Carlitos took a pair of dress shoes from an unattended cell which belonged to Hector Mad Dog Padilla and Manuel menito Romero both know others they didn't fit so Carlitos gave the shoes to robot as a gift robot from Big Hazard was a get down brother afraid of nothing in fact he antagonized under inmates hoping for a confrontation robot walked a tear in the shoes twirling his pocket watch as if he was in the neighborhood Padilla who had been drinking Pruno confronted an unamused robot and demanded the shoes he returned was with my shoes I said yeah that's right they're mine now Karina myself and disrespecting me yeah I did what's up what do you think you are I'm robot robot refused and made a gesture to bring it on what's up but Leah stated he would take care of it later robot not wanting to wait we treat the shank and rust into a DSL minito was in the cell with Padilla and fought off robot until they were both stabbed both of them survived and we later become members of the Nuestra family the incident ignited about 20 inmates fighting a C-section sound block I saw Daniel got caught behind the lock gate with three NF members cricket from Diamond was killed by Anderson the Bloodshed would have been worse if it wasn't for The Bravery of a correctional officer named Sergeant McRae he somehow separated the inmates and the hatred has lived on for 50 years what is this anyways doesn't look that good same thing you've been eating that with the basketball a couple years was born in Texas but his family moved to Bakersfield California where he joined the body of Diego gang and committed his first murder at 16 years old angel I gotta talk to him Cheyenne was a highly respected member of man he was trying to establish a peace treaty with our enemies from Northern California the former Super Gang of Mexican inmates most of his fellow carnalists were against peace with any northerner but Cheyenne believed banding together would give larasa more power and control than they could imagine the fact you probably want to get killed we don't want peace and you're probably going to get put on the list figure it out think about this Super Gang of all Mexicans the best from all the pintas control California maybe Nevada takes us and who knows Canal maybe the world foreign I disagree we'll go through though Cheyenne had earned so much respect from his Emmy Brothers it wasn't enough to stop the attacks against the NF Joker and his associates decide to end the peace talks for stabbing Cheyenne and palm Hall and Chino prison he was stabbed 70 times and thrown over the rail three stories high all right there were constant battles between sworn enemies Miami was aligned with the average Brotherhood GF was aligned with Mr Familia we had a full-fledged War right now what I need you guys to do I need you to have eyes in the front and the back of your heads at all times 24 7.
No passes whatsoever green light on everything the latest attack was an ml aggressor on a bgf member the guard in the tower shot Gabby from floresia 13 as he was about to finish up on a bgf member

already has what we want to do right now is called the truths it was a gunman who shot him whirl on both sides will be bad for both of us my boys will die and your boys would die too as far as I'm concerned there could be no peace between us but I'll send the request to the other Pinellas and I'll get back to you [Music] Kilroy baby took a vote we got you back speaking to the PGA physicists why

you want to do it do it yourself and he created a chasm between the new and the old I handled my business and I expected the same how they gonna let the New Generation Kill the old generation want to do start losing a lot of respect and times were changing foreign [Music] foreign [Music] just opened up [Music] lock it [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] started calling yourself to professional due to the surgical strike even though I spoke to Nico I sometimes think I could have stopped ahead I feel bad that didn't as far as I'm concerned Nico was a martyr for the Lord sleepy and I had an argument about the way the hit was carried out he took offense to my words and later attacked me that was a mistake apparently there was a new way to handle things I was doing burpees peanut butter was in front of me a split second before the attack sleepy yelled my name he was behind me I was able to limit the blade from going into my kids sleepy silly running sets on him I let him loose when I saw the gun on the towel ready to shoot me get down foreign [Music] how's he doing it's good like you guy half an inch more with Stephen Hart kind of mad it's easy on just antibiotics yeah we're with him sir what happened out there Kilroy um I fell you fell you stick with that story like I said you feel all right as a brother who was down for La causa I never thought I would be a Target I was quickly back in good graces never fully finding out what happened that's how it was one day you're good the next day you get hit prison transfers made it impossible to get my revenge Gilroy see why I want you and myself I heard you pull the shank out of your chest and then knock sleep here you call it here Joe ah I ain't got no beef with you Carla personal between you sleep in peanut butter like any generation organization there's always conflict between different ideas and methods of operation creating underlying tension the cell Arrangement between me and Joe Morgan lasted only a couple of weeks long enough to understand there was a generation gap Brewing Big D was an impressive brother he was big and strong he was a good boxer and he was a Get Down Soldier for La causa when he discovered Christ rather than abandon us he kept writing us and he would come visit my dearest carnal I hope that you are well and stay strong I am writing you this letter to tell you and the rest of the world I am no longer in a place of Darkness I have given my life to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I finally found the freedom I've been searching for I want you to know whatever we did or did into him stays with me only Jesus can judge us and he chooses to forgive [Music] I'll be praying for you to see the light until then stay safe my brother hello Mr Roybal full disclosure I am a former Bell Gardens police officer police officer yes I left a department to practice law full-time I need to practice on somebody else this is what I'm going to do for you Mr Right I'm going to file a brief with Ritz and appeal and and we'll hope for the best okay with all the hits going on lots of stories came out and some of them became Legend little mo Farrell was shanked during anemia internal cleansing upon taking in the hospital he told the Navy patient if I can't be Emmy I would rather die and pull this IV and died within a few minutes other destruction all the hatred could anything go come from 40 years in prison well maybe one thing he wants to La ladies early 90s gangsters were killing each other by the thousands every year it was a new thing called the drive-by shooting it came very popular hundreds every weekend throughout the Southwest United States it was a way of killing without any real Danger yes so what's this I hear it's just your welcome blasted the house four-year-old girl was killed another one's in the hospital s are getting killed and drive by shooting this last decade foot soldiers just gone back in the days it was different you walked up looked the enemy in the face before we hit him those days are gone maybe not we got some homeboys right now organizing to stop traffic not only with the Mexican Mafia losing soldiers but they felt it was a less than honorable way to carry out a hit not even to mention the women and children getting caught in the crossfire what happened an organization felt it was bad business in every way for soldiers to be killing each other and if they did before that happened they'd have to get the blessings from the enemy so how do we hold them accountable remember streets is our backyard who's eating the charge on the outside there's lots of Brothers involved with the business end of the idea we're taking the lead is Peter O'Hara Sana from Orange County and from Los Angeles it'll benefit us building the taxes making a more formidable structure sounds good or not come on see sign up for Morris County he started meetings with the neighborhood shot callers from lahaba to Capistrano in El Salvador park or Santa Ana a couple months later chuko Castro started the hometown Elysian Park in Los Angeles this is the beginning of the Rules of Engagement rules for killing and you're unauthorized drive-by tutor gets a green light any gang member who encounters that bottle has to hit him well he gets a green light it was simple but effective and just like that the drive by stopped now Creeks are going to say that we wanted a bigger better business to collect taxes but regardless we saved tens of thousands of lives so I guess we did do something right but the devil's alike Proverbs 16 17 18 19.
let you know where God's at with that [Applause] you want some coffee [Applause] good news the Appellate Court reduced the murder conviction to manslaughter and your attempted murder dismissed it's going to take a few months to process but you're going to be a free man when do you know a police officer helping me my prized position it's the only thing I own it's beautiful everyone in the neighborhood is jealous it's funny where's that right too heavy you're serious [Music] foreign you're serious I'm seriously going to take it back if you don't start it up hey so come on in gonna take me for a ride let's do it do it you're gonna show for me around okay you got 10 minutes my pill came through I'm going home I spent all this time moving up the ranks a lot of hairs to roll scores to settle you hold it down here it's funny I always wanted to be like you now I guess I am take care of yourself Stephen [Music] thank you take care of yourself when I beat the case and you was in my cell now was the time to beg for forgiveness and tell you I was sorry for not being the father should have been but I turned into my business this was our life I should have told you how much I loved you and Amy everything went so left I always thought about you but this was a lot of the other one of us so what do we do with the brothers that found God on the outside yeah every color now it's free to do what he thinks is right and he has a death over they're no longer part of it if you decide to take them out we don't have a problem but let's not forget these photos never debriefed not right they all put in work to help make Miami what it is today so they get a free pass same I mean these were some crazy bottles that made us crowd back in the day but my advice is this I always say stay real they don't cooperate with law enforcement give it a loan it's more important things to do totally I'll pass it on there was a few of us Emmy members who became Christians and I'm proud to say we never debriefed meaning we could never be called rats I don't think I ever told you how I became a Christian I was using dope again no surprise for a lifelong addict I wasn't paying rent and I heard a car driver knowing they were collecting rent I was ready to break and run and hide then I thought I never ran from anything in my life why am I going to run from an old lady I saw my wife's Aunt jump out of the car and shuffled up to me she was lit up like a Christmas tree at that point I was thinking about hustling her for some kind of drugs she had to be on some kind of medication instead what she did changed my life she asked if I would like to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and I said I'm not ready then I heard a little voice you've been saying that for 40 years another 40 years and you'll be a hundred years old I Jesus give you my life Jesus I give you my life it's going to come into my heart I ask you to come into my heart believe that you don't dozens believe it you died on the cross for me for my sins fill me with your Holy Spirit I ask you to I ask you to cut the burdens and take the will Jesus name I was still thinking about getting the directions on only I didn't know she wasn't High she had an overdose of the Holy Ghost spoke the sinner's prayer together but I told her they didn't take she said what do you mean I said when people accept Jesus they shout and jump for joy and sing Hallelujah I don't feel anything [Music] I took a step forward something was wrong I took another step and felt like I was walking on air I've been serving the lord ever since that day the Lord has never left my side through joy and sorrow I was in a big red crash that nearly ended my life I lost my son to the system for many years but he was finally released from prison and came to know God's love I had become distant from my other children God's grace gave me another chance God led me to start an Outreach Ministry called homies for Christ I spend the time I have left preaching about God's grace to gangsters and the wholeness I even preached to African villages and prisons if he changed me he can change anybody I would visit the prisons where I once was an inmate and I shared the gospel and I was between two gates when the spotlight momentarily Blinded Me it was the prison Warden who despised me many years ago thank you Kilroy who's that it's Warden Johnson you remember me you know there's something I've been wanting to ask you I want to know why you put the green light out on me morning Johnson I don't remember that now we intercepted the kite out of Pelican Bay it says you co-signed the kid I had to relocate my whole family because of this I don't remember that got an accident lost my memory but I've come a long way I'm a Christian now not I know you're a changed man and that's the only reason why I let you back in my prison you a Christian all right Chris no I'm a Catholic do you have a personal relationship with Jesus the Bible says in Romans confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you saved do you believe in your heart through faith that Jesus is God died on the cross for our sins raised on the third day and filled your heart with the Holy Spirit you know I've thought about this conversation a lot I would go between you and I not in a million years and I think it would go in this direction But to answer your question yes I do [Music] and you're a Christian [Music] order Johnson can I pray for you yes you can father God thank you for today thank you for blessing me father and Frank thank you for bringing another true Soldier Home Father I pray for warning jobs for any any wrongdoings I might have caused father thank you Father for letting us be here today in Jesus name amen amen under a prison Spotlight I prayed for the warden the Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways [Music] I went to a seminar they wanted to know how I changed my life because there was counselors there there was psychiatrists or with all those titles PhD uh BH and they were all there and they wanted to know how I changed my life and I just told them the truth and I give them a short testimony with the Lord done in my life actually I accepted him in my life and I told them I I also had to be they said how could you you see you said you only went to the eighth grade and I told him I'm born again Christian and I had a PhD they couldn't figure it out and I thought I'm praying Heaven though kill Roy keep your head up to the sky now keep your eyes
