i got females. got like money. hidalgo s underarms display the initials of his gang, tango arejones. and on his abdomen is the image of a glock 40 millimeter handgun which he says is the favorite weapon of drug dealers. on the scale. i don t trust no one. when you re selling drugs you can t even trust nobody. even though when you do know the ones that are snitching on you. although hidalgo is proud of his extensive body art, he s starting to worry about how a judge and jury will react to it. he s expected to soon begin a series of trials on a litany of charges, including assault and arson. i should have waited until after my trial, but it s too late for all that. for somebody to see as tatted is going to judge me. i feel it s going to affect me. coming up. the guy started flooding his cell. i asked him why, he said just
felony charges to the 16 that brought him here. he s always getting into trouble mainly because he gets mad and frustrated just being locked up. it worries me because it seems like charges are never going to stop. hidalgo now has a trial date for his most serious charge, aggravated robbery. he recently turned down a plea bargain for 25 years but losing in court could result in a much longer sentence. i mean i m just praying that everything s going to be okay. if i beat that one charge, i ve still got to wait for the other charges. now that he s had all these cases, sometimes i feel that he s never going to come out. i mean i m still here for him because he is my son, but i hope one of these days he s going to change his life. i love you. i love you, too. and stay out of trouble. all right. be good. bye, mijo. bye. this is the life i chose, i
partner s defense. i came in, i grabbed guerrero by the arms, and i pulled him and tried to pull him off. but i sat there for a few minutes, you know, wrestling with him a little bit. the corporal was trying to restrain me. i m with the other lawman trying to get him off my cellie, my home boy, blood everywhere. officers inside the housing unit security control room witnessed the fight and alerted the special emergency response team organization or sert. the sert team arrived, they secured inmate hidalgo. they came and dropped their knee on me, boom, split my chin, which caused me to take stitches. blood s coming out. so i m laying in my blood. so when i get up and come out, one of my other home boys seen it. as hidalgo and guerrero were escorted by the sert team to medical, another orejones gang member, jeremy gonzalez, witnessed the procession. i seen him that he was bloody. and being that s my home bay, like i been knowing him for a long time and me and him been throug
house him and group him with other inmates, he tends to rub off on those inmates, and instead of dealing with one hidalgo, we re dealing with many. although recently for the past few months he s been out of trouble, he s been cooperative, he s been behaving. one thing he requested because he s been behaving is a cell mate. after a careful review we allowed him to have a cellie. hidalgo s cellmate was steven guerrero who is awaiting transfer to prison to serve a five-year sentence. i grew up pretty good. but hang around the wrong people. i guess good kid went wrong, huh? on the second day guerrero and hidalgo were housed with each other, the two inmates quickly showed up on staff s radar. hidalgo and his cell mate guerrero were disruptive across the day. and when we did chow later, guerrero apparently stuck his arm out the tray slot, wouldn t bring it back in so that we could close it.
