The orejones, on the outside, pinuelas belongs to another gang, the roosevelt park gang, and he says that is where his loyalty is now. i m still going to be good when i get out. my gang is going to be there, i m always going to be there for them. i m always going to sell drugs. that s the only way i know how to make money. juan rubio has completed his 25 days in segregation for assault on the corporal. but the question where to house him remains. although the mexican mafia has said they expelled him, rubio held out hope that he would be reinstated so he refused to be housed in the ex-gang unit. but now it appears rubio has reconsidered that decision. he has come forward and said hey, i defected. i no longer want to house with these guys. but jail officials question
Psychiatrist. before going awol sanchez was forced by the orejone gang to fight his cellmate. then he was kicked out of the gang and sent to a protective custody unit. when sanchez was rearrested, he mistakenly believed he was returning to an orejone housing unit. so he threatened suicide. we don t want to put you anywhere where you re going to be assaulted or an officer s going to get hurt. come on. make a right up here. when he came back in for his booking he was told he was going into unit b.a. well, the last time he was here that particular unit was an active gang unit. so he did think he was going to go back to an active unit. go ahead and have a seat here on the blue couch. but since he s been gone some things have changed. housing unit b.a. no longer houses active orejones. but newly arrived arrestees pending assignment to permanent housing units. he panicked a little because he was afraid. and he admitted to nap.
Before i came here i thought i was. but i m not. i m just me. i m jerry. juan rubio continues to bide his time in a segregation cell. eager to return to a mexican mafia housing unit, despite being expelled from the gang. what do you do while you re in there? i read. work out. think. what do you think about? my life. how i m going to fix my life. i get out and i do the same mistakes over and over. i ve been doing it all my life. but i m going to get out. i m going to get out, and i m going to change that. rubio s latest troubles arrived after he broke one of the mexican mafia s most important codes. he attacked a jail officer.
He said he would have never voted against me. both of these inmates were x ed out of the gang. and we went ahead and moved them into the protective custody unit. after the fight we were still cool and we still stuck together, no matter what, because we knew where our hearts were. i knew where my heart was and i knew where my head was. i knew where i was standing. and basically, we both said you know what, we re still young, we don t need this right now. but the two friends would not be together long. though sanchez is waiting to go to trial on a drug possession charge, his judge has approved him for a work release program. sanchez? during the day sanchez will be released from the jail to go to work. do you need employment or do you have a job? i have a job. wood floors. today you can go pick up all your clothes, whatever you need. each evening sanchez will be required to return to the jail. be back at 7:00. 7:00? report to the annex, though.
Housing unit. now separated the two inmates are christopher penuelez and jerry sanchez. both are in jail on drug possession charges and have pled not guilty. they were approached by an unidentified inmate, who told them through the door that they had to fight. they had to fight to prove their heart in the gang. the winner would gain acceptance into the gang. the loser would be kicked out. refusing to fight was not an option. they had told us if me and him didn t fight that they were going to stab both of us. me and chris were scared. chris started crying. i didn t want to fight with him. but in this place you don t know what s going to happen. so i looked at chris and chris looked at me and chris started crying. and chris was just like what do you want to do? i said i don t want to fight with you. you know what i m saying? me and him are talking about it and talking about it and we just finally came to it and said [ bleep ] it, we ll box each other. we ve got to do what we ve g
