I quit being a correctional officer because of all the corruption at GEO formerly Wackenhut in Cleveland, Texas. I always used to say that the ONLY difference between a CO and a inmate is that the CO's haven't been caught yet for their crimes.

I am a Mexican. This gangster life destroyed our family. My older brother joined Sinaloan Cartel back in 1993. It all started when my brother was 14 and into that dope life. Poverty then, was rampant. And gangs were glorified and leaders were portrayed as saviour in some sorta way. Life was never the same in the family. My brother was gunned down in a rival gang shootout. Fortunately for me, Me and my Mom moved in the states and i could pursue my dream of becoming a doctor. But the horrors of murder and seeing dead bodies on the daily are still vivid in my memories.

I retired as a deputy warden at USP Leavenworth. Around 2006 or 2007, I had a lot of Sureños and Norteños and they were constantly trying to kill each other. Washington DC finally realized we couldn't house both on the same yard, so we started moving Norteños out. Eventually I only had two Norteños left in SHU. They would ask me to release them to the yard. I would tell them it's you two against 100 Sureños. You know what their response was? "I'm good with those odds." I will admit they have no fear.

I went to prison at 18 for weapons charges. The prison I went to was entirely ran by Bloods. I stayed neutral and by the grace of God made some good friends and dudes would tell their friends that I was off limits. I ended up meeting a guy named Gotti. He was high ranking and he was kinda like a mentor for me. He always told me how intelligent I was and that life wasn't for me. Long story short today I have a degree in business and I have worked for the Department of Defense, multiple health insurance companies and now I currently work for a bank as a senior banker. I give all the credit to God first and foremost but I will never forget people like Gotti and a few others that seen in me what I couldn't see in myself. Who would think that a gang member would be one of the individuals that helped me to stay on the right path and become a productive respectable citizen. I am eternally grateful for the people that believed in me when I thought I was nothing.

All the Norteño homeboys I grew up with are doing life forgotten by their wives, girlfriends and families, dead, in wheelchairs, on the run forever from US Marshalls in Mexico, Homeless living on the street, taken out by their own people in Prison or the County Jail by some young dude trying to earn his keep in the gang. Some were just lucky to leave Northern California and the life behind, as Woodie the Norteño rap legend said in one his songs “Northside life ain’t nothing nice” Norteño and NF is the hardest gang to be in, you can get “Removed” by the slightest of reasons no matter how many years or sacrifices you’ve made for the gang. Strict gang rules make it hard to be a Norteño for life, it’s like walking on a tight rope for life.

Norteño gangsters are the hardest core because they have to be. They’re targeted by sureños, all the Aryan inbreds, the COs, etc. They’re also outnumbered by the sureños like 5 to 1. So they have to be intensely organized and prepared. It’s why Ene is virtually paramilitary (many Norte gangsters are required to learn first aid and CPR). It’s a crucible that produces tough, tough dudes.

Amazing thought I just had, how people educate themselves so well inside. I had the good fortune of having a father send me all the books I ever wanted and ever read in jails, rehabs, and other places I wasn't allowed a phone. But I only read books when I'm away from the internet. I feel like if I was down for that long I would get a masters and become a jailhouse lawyer. On the outside it's just too hard to work and go to school. But when you're inside? No worrying about meals, where you're going to sleep, a lot of different types of stress are taken away and exchanged for new ones. Maybe I'm just making excuses for being lazy but I write now and work full time at a normal job.

As a former teacher in the literal hood, stories like this were everyday. I taught at an elementary where we had to bus students 3 blocks home from school to keep gang members away from our elementary kids. We could not get any delivery services because they'd all been robbed way too many times. We had three incidents in 6 months of students as young as 7 bringing guns into school. We'd have some kids with some promise that you'd hope to guide out of there somehow, but a few months later, they'd disappear into these gangs which would start training them up to sell drugs and be enforcers and then it was all too late. If you listen to a lot of ex gang members, they describe life in prison just like this, these elaborate organizations that would rival any corporate entity, and I wish with this level of talent, you could see more black and brown and poor peoples running things at the top and making a difference for those that come behind, but if mom/dad aren't at home because they're working 18 hour days, and brothers in jail, and the kids go home on empty stomachs, they aren't lured by an education or the promise of a potential good future that may take years to come, they want the immediate--food in belly, money to help mom/dad (if they have one) pay rent and not make them homeless, and the gangs give them all of that at the high price of imprisonment or their eventual deaths. Just a lot of days thinking why did we even bother, but someone's got to give a damn for the 10 that may make it out or choose to change their lives.

Imagine yourself living in the way you described these youngsters living and knowing what they're faced with daily. Same scenario, living in filth in a fatherless home, starving and knowing nothing but pain and abuse. Eventually this turns us into what he just described. Lot's of people only judge us but never put themselves in our shoes. How would they turn out under the same circumstances? Better yet how do we change this? I commend all whom are aware of what we face and want to help and make a difference even if you're only able to reach 10 out of 100 it's worth the effort.

People stigmatize people like this way too much. I've been to prison myself and I can tell you from my own story as well as the VAST majority of the people I've met in correctional facilities, that is that these people "never had a chance" because a lot of the bad things that set them in bad directions happened to them as children. They were born on crack, without parents, ... they're the most tormented souls on the planet and when people stigmatize them they keep "the nightmare" going for them and they don't realize it. Love really is the only thing that "wins".

I did 32 years out of 4 offenses in Texas. I was a member of the Mandingo Warriors. One of the biggest dumbest, stupidist mistakes, I ever made. I have the same story you do as to the inner working and politics. But it ended up being a part of something that deprived me of independence. My own life and a prisoner that belonged to a different set of guards and rules. I held rank but eventually my free speech and unwillingness to obey rules without question lead to them turning on me and injured. I got out of that slavery, I got out of prison and, I tell any fool thinking about joining a gang is, you will now have other overlords and your life don't belong to you no more. If it is for the reason of needing protection in there because unaffilated are targets, I get it but men standing on their own make it. You just will have to put what it takes into being independent that you will being your own man.

I was in high school in Salinas back in 2008-2009 when they were breaking the murder record in Salinas.. making Washington D.C. National News Headlines.. it was a wild time back then. Per capita it was considered one of the top 5 most violent cities in California. Monterey County was considered “youth murder” capital of California. During that time, Latino males age 13-25 were most at risk of being killed by gun violence in the county where Salinas is the capital.

I grew up in Salinas and my older sisters adopted Chicana culture. Often times they would leave me at Closter Park with homies/SEMsters as babysitters while they went cruising. Back then (late 70s/early 80s) its wasn't as wild as it is now in Salinas. Surprisingly the homies who watched me while my sisters went cruising never tried to instill gang culture into me at that young age. They looked out for me and took care of me. I never aligned myself but had many friends who were members. Many years later I left Salinas after being attacked by a gang member who didn't like that I had a successful hustle and no one was taxing me. All in all, I learned enough to survive and to be respectful from the streets of Salinas. This is a great interview. Thanks for sharing.

Sadly the same cannot be said for nearly all of his own nephews and close family; many of them dead or in prison for murder and gang-related felonies. Such a small separation between a life with no criminal record full of peace and love from my own family now, to what may have been, a violent danger hellbent on feeding the lurking monster inside of me.

when I came home from the Pelican Bay SHU and my parole officer brought me to my moms she had a tree in her front yard. That was Dec 2005 and I still remember what it felt like to touch that tree - both the physical sensation and the emotional response. The closest I ever saw in terms of that reaction was when my first daughter was born and she would cautiously touch things and often be withdraw quickly..not from fear or repulsion but as if the sensory overload was such that she had to detach in order to process what just happened. Then she would reach again and this routine would continue until touching that object was normalized. The difference was my daughter wasn’t even a year old..I was almost 30. I’ve been home ever since and while my amazement at nature in all its forms is a little more subdued its still “my thing”

When he was telling me this his eyes got watery and he tried to explain “why” it was happening. It’s just part of the process he said. A young black man was released to the yard and killed over an accidental door opening. A 19 year old kid stabbed to death because these guys hate each other for actual reason other than prison policy. He said it was a cheap bet to. He never told me the amount but it wasn’t much.

I've worked with guys who were affiliates with Chicago Vice Lords and other sets from the US. And the crazy thing is, even though it's been YEARS since they were involved, they still paid dues. They still followed the structure and still didn't do things like eat pork or other haram foods even though they werent actually Muslim. But the gang was and is. It's crazy how deep that runs in your psyche that even when you don't even run with them anymore, you're still psychologically attached to it.

Yeah, the programming that takes place on federal and state prison yards runs deep. Think of all the white guys that go in as not racist and unaffiliated but after the brainwashing takes place they're covered in swastikas. Tribalism is deeply embedded in the human psyche. It's a survival mechanism.

These men had an extremely positive impact on my life. Nortenos kept me and my neighborhood safe. Sex offenders in my neighborhood were genuinely terrified of reoffending. There were two that tried and they regretted it daily for a whole year. The OG's steered me to get a higher education and try to be a lawyer or a counselor instead of some cracked out prostitute. Nortenos showed me love and support when I was suicidal. They taught me how crucial it was to have dignity and act with respect. They taught me about my rights and encouraged me to learn philosophy. Sometimes good men do bad things, and you don't always understand the reason for it. But these are principled people and most of them have big hearts. I will always be grateful to them cause they were the family I needed that I didn't have and being a member wasn't a requirement. I never got jumped in nor was I pressured to.

My father in early 2000’s worked at CCC, in Susanville CA, not too many details for obvious personal safety reasons but there was a man named “Dollar”, he had a buddy in his bike group that was keeping the bed warm for his wife. Ended up taking the guys life and ended up in High desert, NF was still live and just as active in ‘08 as might be now, however word was Dollar could be heard across the yard hitting the heavy bag, turned out he was killed when leaving the gang 3 days before he was allegedly getting paroled, supposedly the details in the case were either 50% lies or were overly exaggerated too the highest limit. As I was born in 2005 it fascinated me that a guy I never met and only heard about somewhat, I only hope the best for his two sons back home in my old hometown.

Paradigm Media News is the best channel on KZbin in the Prison/Crime drama. Boxer doesn’t put nothing extra on his stories or try an act like something he isn’t or wasn’t. If anything he downplays his rank when he was active. Had circumstances been different and the Organization didn’t eat its own he would have been with the High Command by now. Downside to that is he would be a lifer and chances are he would be fighting a fed case right now.
