orosco? yes, sir. you ready? yeah. it is a day of reckoning for eloy orosco. a big day for me. i m really nervous. he is on his way to a parole hearing. orosco could have his parole reinstated and go home or be sent to prison for up to 2 1/2 more years to complete his sentence for burglary. he could also be sent to an intermediate sanction facility, or isf, a halfway house for parole violators. orosco s parole violations include a failed drug test and allegations by his sister-in-law that he made terroristic threats against her. she has been invited to testify at the hearing. if she shows up, orosco fears he will return to prison. i am a repeat offender. so my word really isn t too much
life that she plans on being with my brother to face my family. orosco also worries that if his mother attends the hearing she will find out about his failed drug test. i haven t been straight up with my mom as far as coming out dirty because i just hate to break her heart. the hearing is attended by orosco s parole officer, antonio ramos, and is run by edna corales. was anyone subpoenaed to be here for the hearing today? offender s mother is here. but she speaks only spanish. i tried to get the complainant to be here. her testimony is certainly important. she has not made it. i assume she will not make it. she stated she was just simply afraid of the threats that had been made according to her. orosco caught a break in that his sister-in-law is not here to testify against him, but he must still defend against her allegations. do you admit or deny the allegations? deny. do i have problems with her and have i had problems with her in the past? yes.
care. beauchamp says most inmates here have been respectful of his sexuality. eloy, he is very flamboyant. come up to me and give me a massage or something like that. he wouldn t go too far. he knew i was straight. no. a lot of people were saying there was something going on between me and him. i could have messed around with him if i wanted to. of course, you get a straight guy walking in the door, everybody is saying, well nobody has had him. i want him. i want to be the first. but these days, eloy orosco has bigger concerns than jail house relationships. he recently violated his parole after testing positive for drugs and threatening his sister-in-law with violence. i told her i was going to beat her up. i become a little bit violent speaking once pills and drugs and alcohol take place. i think i am superman. she called the police and said that i was going to hurt her and wouldn t stop until i got her. so they got me for a terroristic threat. in a few days i will have a re
because of the fact you are in jail and haven t seen women in how long. when you see one walk in your pod, you get real excited. you get a real happy desire inside. no, not really. i do. well, that s you. we are born different. so far this place seemed a lot more laid back. i feel a lot more comfortable with whom i am. i kind of let them know, hey, i am, i am gay. and they seemed to be perfectly okay with that. i think this jail would be better if they didn t segregate people the way that they do. so we all agree? all agree. coming up. the first allegation has mr. orosco terroristic threats of family, household. do you admit or deny the allegation? deny. eloy orosco tries to convince the parole board to set him free. stops us from doing right by our customers. who s with me? we re like a basketball team here at ally. if a basketball team had over 7. i m in. 7,000 players. our plays are a little unorthodox. but to beat the big boys,
this time around i butched up a little bit and said i was masculine. and they put me in the masculine group. i don t want to be with a bunch of drama queens and girls. i m trying to be with the masculine group, with the boys. starting at age 16, orosco has been in and out of the bexar county jail. he was recently convicted for burglary and is back now after violating parole. orosco believes his experience in jail has made him a leader in his unit. a lot of people look up to me and come to me for advice. they know that i am in and out of the system. in some cases the emotions get lost. as far as in the system. maybe you ought to try to go back to the law library and get another motion. do that again. nothing goes down without me knowing. if there is an altercation, they will come and talk to me about it. hey, this person did this. they will see my reaction to it. while the feminine and masculine inmates are sometimes housed in the same unit, they re not allowed out of their cell
