powerful gang leader, his time at orange county has been spent trying to disassociate himself from that past. i m not involved in the gang stuff no more. that s when i was young, you know. i left all that behind. it s childish. you know? it s the reason why i m here. but briceno might have a motive for distancing himself from gang life. his current armed robbery sentences come with gang enhancements that could keep him in prison for the rest of his life. he will soon be going to court in hopes of convincing a judge to drop them. we committed robberies, me and another individual. and th was it. got arrested. you know, and both of us being gang members, that s when they hit us with the gang enhancements. while briceno s most serious conviction has been for armed robbery, he later implied he might have gotten away with murder. a lot of people don t know this. but murder is one of the easiest crimes you can get away with. easy. yes. it is.
but not all inmates find camaraderie in jail. due to his classification by the state prison system as a gang member with a violent past, albert briceno is locked in a single cell 22 hours a day. here we have albert briceno and he s down here on appeal for his 150 years, the eight counts of robbery. right, right. he s the one that s trying to get some of the gang enhancements dropped so he can get some time shredded off. yeah. my guess is the gang enhancements are probably going to stick because it was found true during the jury trial. a lot of new tattoos, too. yeah. he got those up at delano. because he didn t have them back in 2001 when he was with us. he didn t have the horns. he didn t have the star. he didn t have any of his neck work done. wow. almost looks like a different guy in those two. you take a look at the two pictures. it s definitely a difference.
the star threw him off, the tattoos that i got. he got all excited, you know? me and albert briceno have been around each other for like the last 22 years. we were neighbors in juvenile hall. briceno and bowles are not only old friends. they share long criminal histories. they are considered among the most dangerous and violent inmates in the entire jail. because of that, they will never have physical contact. they are housed in a unit where only one inmate at a time is allowed into the common area. we laugh at it now. we look at each other door to door. we re just laughing like, dude, what the hell are we doing? we re 34 years old. we re still like we re 10 years old in the heart. come on. come on. inside their cells the sinks provide the best sound transmission and serve as low-tech intercoms. good to see you again,
inside the armory at theo lacey, the emergency response team suits up to confront an inmate considered to be a dangerous threat. i m sending you guys into danger, i know. this is not a drill. this is an ad seg inmate. we all know what that means. correct? that means he s assaultive not only to other inmates but he s also assaultive possibly to staff. all right? that kind of amps it up a little bit. the inmate is albert briceno. he has been transferred to orange county from a maximum security state prison, in order to appeal his current sentence of more than 150 years on multiple counts of gang-related armed robbery. albert briceno is a gang member from hard times. that s a street gang out of the city of garden grove. he goes by the moniker of capone. he was mainly brought up into the gang life through his family. through his mom and surrounding family members. he was basically born into the
constantly analyzing the population in order to house them in a manner that will help avoid conflict. next group is echo cube. hawkins. albert briceno is the latest inmate on the move. he has been transferred from the theo lacey facility to the central jail, three miles away. most inmates within the county jail are continuously on the move. we do have to screen and rescreen these inmates all the time. basically, how i look at it is, who can play with who. shortly after moving into his new cell, briceno discovered his neighbor was an old childhood friend, jeremy bowles. i recognized the tattoos. and then when he got up, i said, man, what s up, g ? he looked at me. and his eyes got all big. the recognition set in. the star threw him off, the tattoos that i got. he got all excited, you know? me and albert briceno have
