Thread: Segregation Lives on in California Prisons

This is a little off the subject but reflects the violence of the Mexican gangs even in prison.

" When criminals arrive at a state prison, guards typically divide them by race to reduce what California's Department of Corrections calls "anti-social behavior."

"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."
