I miss the days when we had real journalism instead of the scripted BS that we have today.

Imagine getting locked up on a petty charge and getting involved in an unavoidable situation that turns a short sentence into decades. It happens far too often.

They don't make gangsters like Joe anymore, well spoken and intelligent.

The love of a mother is one of the strongest force in this world. God bless her

"It SuRe aINt tHe wHiTE pOePLe!" Well sir, wtf are you doing there???

People(Hispanics, those of us of African descent, caucasian) this is not the life we want to lead. I speak from experience when I say it is a life without purpose, meaningless, and making no significant contribution to that which is honorable. Especially, our youth, I wish you could hear me. I'm forty-four (44),recently removed from these institutions, on a quest to make something meaningful of the rest of my Life - God Bless ☝️One Love

I love these older prison videos you’re putting out

I been in seg in those very cells, literally... don't miss those days

There's a channel about the past of La Eme called PFP Publishing. It's interesting to watch, an ex member named Mundo Mendoza describes it's formation and key members and events. He was actually portrayed in American Me.

Just want to say “Thanks vinmoonsu” Long time early subscriber here

I was hoping there was more to this one! You are the man!

I really feel bad for that mother. She seems like such a sweet dear. I know she probably wanted the best for her son. You can tell she really loves her son even though he's got some very bad ways.

I was in a gang once, we we're based on Grove Street

I was in a gang but I just kept walking and before I knew they were behind , I literally left the gang life behind me 😎

7:34 the officer looks high to me...them beams are on!

I remember watching this episode the night it aired in Corcoran SHU brings back memories

Why hasn't this channel blown up?!. These clips are a time capsule all their own!

The answer to Ted’s question is this, without the proper guidance and discipline growing up, especially in your youth years, it can shape you for the rest of your life. That doesn’t mean that people who were raised properly won’t eventually end up committing crimes and end up in prison but the chances are drastically reduced. Law enforcement and the prison system is a business and those who profit from being involved in the business aspect of it have no intention on losing business, it’s no different than the weapons manufacturing industry, those involved want violence and war because without it they wouldn’t profit. So if we really want to fix the the problems we need to get to the root which drives them and allows them to persist, locking people in cages obviously isn’t fixing the problem it’s making it worse, if it was working we wouldn’t be building so many prisons and manufacturing so many instruments of death, we need to see the forest through the trees to truly fix these issues.

That La Eme member probably was severely dealt with by his organization if he didn't get permission to do that interview

They really showed a man getting stabbed to death on tv lol wtf. And crazy how the officers just watched, imagine being that guy getting stabbed and feeling so hopeless

Joe is a real leader. Not many Joe's around anymore. Solid.

“Sorry no tortilla” 😂

White boy looks 47 not 27

Everything has its consequences - very well put.

i just watched the movie..great movie

4:06 I didn't even realize they already had this type of cage barriers where prisoners could interact but it adds a layer of security. They were showing a prison guard in Arizona was brutally attacked by 3 prisoners recently in the open area where the prisoners hang out during the day. they need to have more of these barriers to prevent attacks and also exchanges of contraband. so instead of having solitary confinement isolation, at least with the cage barriers they can come out of their cell and interact.

Ted Koppel killing it 😂

I pray for all the inmates.🙏🏼

prison is full of lifers who became intelligent disciplined men... AFTER they threw it all away. goes to show the benefit of structure. because in there it's either you build your daily structure or go insane.

That's a nice mother 🙏🏿

Excellent video, really.

This guy looks like the brother of the guy who fitted George on Seinfeld for a toupee lol

He’s staring into my soul

i be wanting to know what happened with these people we see on the tv. alive? dead? still in prion? out and doing good?

Joe is a stone cold killer he's very convincing as a level headed guy but he could pop off and do some messed up shit and carry on doing his time ⌚

@7:35 it looks like that CO did some healthy rails before going on camera. 😂😂😳😳

7:38 i wasnt expecting her to sound like an old school down south pro wrestler

Wondering was the update he mentioned at the end posted/uploaded/ plz.

6:25 BRO LOVE THAT TATTOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rest assure....That O.G. is Still alive & kickin today ! God is good.

I watch this on tv yrs ago...Ted Koppel was a good interviewer.

Social economic differences a lot of time is the culprit for these people being locked up.

..I joined a prison gang and then I was hit by an astroid... CONSEQUENCES!!!..

Wow it's from 1998.....I'm looking at the video thinking it's from the 1980s lol lol

Nice toupee chief

Minute 5:40 camouflaged AB as the letter A B is Right above it

Being worried about what could happen to you on the inside is very scary but remember most crimes happen on the outside

God 16 years in ad seg.

He called the title of this subject a “Slogan”.

PC Master race checking in.🖥

Who else is wondering what some of these people are doing now, 23 years later..

Amazing blast from the past. Imagine only 2 recognized prison gangs. Boy were they wrong. Today in the American Prison System there are upwards of 30 recognized, organized gangs. The warden would have to have 90% of people in isolation, if this procedure was still flowed. Things change, but people keep doing the same dumb stuff over and over. God Bless, prison is horrible. Wouldn't let a dog live like that. Not rehabilitating anyone....

Someone should do an update on these guys! I bet they are still in prison or dead!

WP

Blood in Blood Out is a very good film fyi

MacMillan I find that hard to believe with that last name what gang were you in the thugged out leprechauns

14:42 Robbery?! Whats the speech for 10 seconds ago then 😂😂😂😂

Wonder if that speedys out now

RIP…. BIG BROWN BOB FROM MORGAN HILL!

I hate how they watched that guy getting killed with no attempt to even help . And they recorded it smh

I was in a gang from the age of 8, we would knock on people's doors and run away and sometimes steal bottles of milk from people's doorstep. I got out at the age of 10, but still look back at those lawless years

The State of Texas ain’t a bad place to do time. If you have to do time. Generations of my family have been in Huntsville, Tx. For those that do not know there are (I don’t even know how many) a lot of prisons in that county. Plus lower security facilities are ALL over Texas. Mighty Whitey.

still remember the day i walked out of huntsville 17 years ago

Can't the hits go down in that visitation area back then Opposites meeting up wit fam at same time

Yip yip im a year older n a lil more brain dead bc i cant even remember watching this a year ago... peaceblowssouth ..Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi lolz

This was filmed on my birthday

Vatos locos forever ese. Orale

Who are the mexican mafia brothers who where shown in the video

I live in Huntsville Texas

That guy at the beginning of the video was not a KKK member. KKK members have a different salute and they use their left arm not their right arm.

Vatos locos forever la onda

Damn thats sum wig on the presenter homie 😉😅

They join gangs because they don’t wanna die in prison yet they’re damned if they do and dammed if they don’t.

If you notice the white inmate has very little discipline he hasn’t even done his bed for the day

I really would be interested to know what the guy koppel interviews in his cell with his hands cuffed behind his back, the 1st guy that is, did, i feel a bit of pity for him, without knowing his crimes, because he seems so scared, speedy garza, if id just watched a little longer before opening my mouth. Wow, i wouldnt do well in this situation huh?

16 years and counting in the box damn

That is the crazy loco COMB OVER on the reporter.

Darn that reporter got that hairdo in the 60's and just kept that helmet ass head all the way too atliest 1998

What a useless waste Just sitting rotting away. Put them to work and get them out doing productive things with their time. They will be tired and want to sleep at the end of the day and maybe learn a skill or work ethics at the bare minimum

Viva la raza! Ese.

They should do.. where are they now on these people.

Ted is a robot humanoid.

That female co was off that work

If u go to prison u need to join a gang if not ur fresh meat to the gangs in there…

This good 1 Texas bad place .. don't get in trouble in Texas at least don't get caught

They dont make docs like this

He talks about he'll get killed if he leaves mate you'll would of got killed for doing that interview 😜😂

👊

People gotta do what they gotta do, to take their next breath ! Judge yea not, yet yea be judged !!!!!!

I don't see no gang members.

Does that female officer have a dip in her lip?

How the heck is that white guy doing 20 years for burglary, in uk thats a 3 year stretch, if its a violent entry maybe 5-7, but still mind blowing.

Sir Francis Bacon 🥓 and his double alphabet

VIVA LA ONDA!!!! VATOS LOCOS ESE!!!!

The klan is NOT a prison gang

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the crime.

How did he join the klan in prison? i would've thought he'd be in the Aryan brotherhood of Texas if anything

How do you even meet a klan person Lool so random

Oh sh** Ted Koeppel ! 😂

"Supposedly the highest" 🤔
