this is the weapon and metal stock we removed from the cubical. we placed it out on the bunk so we could take some better pictures of it. it s approximately nine inches in length. the one closest to the ruler, as you can see, has a pretty big tapered point. that s some pretty thick metal. it easily, as you can see, could puncture the skin, and it could easily get to a vital organ. you know, that into your neck wouldn t be a good scenario. this is what we re looking for. we re always looking for weapons. any time we remove weapons out of the cell, that means it s one less weapon out there on the yard. one less weapon that could be used against staff. the search has yielded solid results, allowing officers to remove certain suspects from the general population and send them to ad seg, while releasing the rest of the southern hispanic population from lockdown. this day is unique because it s actually the first afternoon these guys have been on yard in about eight days. it s like a new
saw violence erupt many times. though never between inmates and officers. as we neared the end of our stay, no one foresaw that the greatest threat to corcoran staff might come from an event in a california prison more than 100 miles away. three guards and two inmates were taken to area hospitals this afternoon after a stabbing in the maximum security area. two inmates used homemade weapons to stab two sergeants and a correctional officer around 1:00 this afternoon. it s significant enough that we lock down statewide the whole system. we made the determination that it had to do with a gang activity and southern hispanic gangs. in this particular case, the attacks seemed unprovoked. so that gave us cause to wonder about how widespread this might be. staff being assaulted and
administrative segregation, because right now if we keep you in the gym, you jeopardize the integrity of the investigations. so i m being written up for the fight? yep. so that s what s going to happen. all right. i ll get you an officer to get you some clothes here in just a minute. with a white suspect and a southern hispanic victim, officers are wary of retaliation that could explode into a race riot. hey, step outside for me real quick. you ve got two south siders over there. what s dude that came from level one? is that him? he s right here. white boys right here. yeah. and then the dude to his right is a south sider as well. what s his name? that s that s a white dude. that s grande.
he s a south sider. that s grande. basically, since we have a white suspect and a southern hispanic victim, we re seeing how the races are interacting on the yard. see if we may have a race problem. if the whites were on one side of the yard and the southern hispanics were on the other side we could possibly have issues which we d probably have more response out here and remove them from the yard or separate them, but since they re interacting fine it s not an issue right now. it appears that the whites just are that s what it appears to me. escort. apparently this guy has a shattered jaw, mutilated face. he said as you could see by my 1217 there were no marks on me, my hands anywhere.
of hispanic population not being from southern california, not being from northern california, they affiliated or they joined together with the intent of not being governed by any other prison gang. bulldogs they re not as organized as your other gangs. they don t have the leadership in their organization. their rule of thumb is, that majority rules. if there s issues on the yard they have to try to resolve, the bulldogs would get together and take a boat, if you will. and the majority rules to go with that, there s no set leader of bulldog. if a bulldog has a chance to attack a southern hispanic, it s on sight. if they can get away from staff during an escort, a door
