peggy perales pen pal relationships with two inmates from rival gangs have already caught the attention of the bexar county jail s gang intelligence division. so you got a guy that you have a child with but you re writing to somebody else as well? correct? one of the letters written to perales was intercepted by mail room staff, who suspected it might contain gang codes. now, she has some new trouble. perales? yes, sir. since the last time we spoke to her we did a background check on her history in the facility and her last incarceration, she was involved in a report, she was an aggressor in a fear for safety and accusing the inmate of being an informant in reference to some narcotics that might have been in the unit.
that they were living at. given this new information, officer rodriguez has read all of perales mail in order to look for more gang ties. so, peggy, i went ahead and was able to get the letters out of your property. i did read them. i did find that you had nothing that was considered gang-related in there. but i cannot give these back to you. i m going to put them in your property. when you leave the facility you can get them from your property. do you have any questions so far? including my baby dad s letter. yeah. another question for you, the last time you were here you were in 3b, there was a report where you were threatening another inmate. you remember that incident? you threatened according to this information, you threatened her because she gave information about drugs in the unit and you threatened her. me? just telling you what s on your history. all of this is news to you? none of this you did? nope. because of the information we have here, you cannot work
say there is a hit you got to do and maybe it s on your brother whatever, and you got to do it or it s on you next. it s not for me, wasn t for me. i don t like their style. alonzo s gang, the tango orejones splintered in the 1990s, since then they have become enemies, but family ties like alonzo s have probably helped reduce the bloodshed. always been rumored about the war between the two groups, when will there be war, when will it carry into the streets, when will the bloodbath begin? so i began asking random members of the gang, where is this going, and i got a very interesting answer. the mafia and the tango orejones said we don t like each other but can t go to war. why not? they said we re all related. alonzo is not the only inmate at bexar county with ties to both gangs. peggy perales has them as well. perales was recently sentenced to three years probation for drug possession. she s back in jail due to a failed drug test. now, her relationships with two other inmates hav
it s embarrassing. oh, yeah, they re all pen pals and it s a big mistake and don t use tattooing for prison. since coming to jail, peggy perales has also developed a pen pal relationship. but the male inmate she writes to is a member of the largest jail gang, the tango orejones. she also writes to her boyfriend, a member of the orejones archrival gang, the mexican mafia. jail officials intercepted a suspicious letter the orejone pen pal wrote to perales. a big concern on our part to determine what information is traveling to and from the buildings and another big concern we have is why are two rival gangs communicating with one female. are they even aware they re both communicating? so i m going to talk to her to
intelligence division. security intercepted some letters that inmate perales received from male inmates. one of them being a member of the mexican mafia, the other of the tango orejone, both are writing to her. the mexican mafia member is perales boyfriend. but perales says she asked few questions about his gang activity. i ve heard stuff i don t want to know, seen stuff i don t want to know. i was like, you hang around with me, don t bring it to me. he would just come home with money. i mean, i had a clue, i mean not a rocket scientist to figure that out. perales says the orejone inmate who wrote to her is a pen pal, she met him through a girlfriend after her boyfriend stopped writing her.
