"Experts say prison gangs such as the Mexican Mafia also exert pressure on prisoners to self-segregate.
"If you're a Hispanic and Hispanic gang members see you talking to a Caucasian or a black person, they'll beat the hell out of you, so what do you do?" said one prison official who did not want to be named. "In other words, some of the segregation is imposed by the prisoners."
