do such an impulsive thing? >> he was mad at mom and dad. mom and dad made him come in, get ready for bed. he didn't like that so he was going to go -- he was going to leave. he took the vehicle and left and he was going to a friend's house and had 2 or $3 in his pocket and that was going to get him wherever he needed to go and his worry wasn't running from the police, his worry was, officer, i really tried to stay around the speed limit as you were behind me. i really didn't want to speed. >> a call was made to the parents who had no idea what had happened. they thought their son was asleep in the next room. little did they realize he was keeping several police forces very busy that night. >> he had told me that mom and dad are probably going to ground him. i remember looking at him and i said, i'm pretty sure that you are going to get grounded, young man. >> the 9-year-old was charged

with fleeing and resisting law enforcement. the juvenile was released to his parents, ordered child counseling and put on probation. since his infamous escapade, no further incidents have been reported. >> a lot of people could have got hurt. a 9-year-old kid who gets hurt in a car crash where the police are chasing him, i don't even want to begin to think where that went. the only damage to the vehicles was a flat tire and a 9-year-old at home. i don't think you can ask for a better ending to a situation like that. >> officers of the law step in when people or situations get out of control. whether they're facing robbers or rambunctious dogs or a mischievous 9-year-olds and w a they do it in front of a dashboard camera we may all witness the challenges they face every day. i'm contessa brewer. that's all for this edition of "caught on camera".

due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. it's always been rumored about this war between these two groups. when is the war going to happen? when is the bloodbath going to begin? >> an inmate with an influential family in one gang joins its archrival. >> i didn't want to be part of that organization. >> the female inmate also has ties to both gangs and now her

mail has jail officials concerned. >> they are written in what appears to be some sort of code. >> another inmate is charged with sexually molesting his brother's daughter. >> we are friends. she talked to me about the things she didn't think she could talk to mom and dad about. >> but his brother is also facing charges equally as heinous. >> i could receive ten years per count for 38 counts, that's 380 years. >> and if one woman has her way, both brothers, to be charged with triple murder, in a devastating act of arson. >> there is no one else that would wish those beautiful girls that ill. no one else. san antonio's bexar county

jail is a fortress of brick, steel and razor wire. capable of housing up to 4500 men and women. some of the inmates here have been convicted and are serving short sentences. but most have only been charged with crimes and are awaiting trial with the resolution of their cases. then there are inmates like benny alonzo, he's been convicted of felony gun possession. in less than 24 hours, he will appear before a judge to learn his sentence. >> i've been stressing a lot, too, though. i can't eat. i haven't ate lunch in three days already. >> do something, dog. >> i already know. >> alonzo will most likely be sentenced to state prison but it won't be the first time. >> how many times have you been incarcerated? >> oh, couple of times. i mean, every time i get locked up -- one, two, three, four, five, i can't really

remember. maybe like seven times, six times. i don't know. >> sold heroin, crack, coke, weed, anything. one-stop shop at the house. started using drugs, started the cycle going down. just sucks, that lifestyle is no good. >> compounding the stress of his sentencing is the fear that it will cost him his girlfriend. >> i'm scared. that's one of my biggest fears, i'm going to lose my family. i mean, it happens. i've seen it too many times where people get -- i have faith. me and her are stronger than that. me and her are real strong. >> if alonzo goes to state prison he'll have to sort out just more than his relationship with his girlfriend. at bexar county jail he's segregated with members of his gang.

in prison he could be exposed to his gang's archrivals, the texas mexican mafia and that is a conflict in more ways than one. >> the alonzos are a large family within the mexican mafia, there's three or four brothers within the alonzos all mexican mafia. >> in addition, alonzo's grandfather is reputed to be one of the texas mexican mafia's founders and current leaders. >> i didn't want to be a part of that organization, because there's things you got to do and i wouldn't want anybody to tell me what to do. 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 from the mexican mafia in the 1990s, since then they have become enemies, but family ties like alonzo's have probably helped reduce the bloodshed. >> always rumored about this war between the two groups, when will there be war, when will it carry into the streets, when will the bloodbath begin? i remembered asking members, where is this going? 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 have raised red flags with the jail's gang intelligence division.

>> security intercepted some letters that she received from male inmates. one of them being a member of the mexican mafia, the other of the tango orejone, strangely enough, both are writing to her. >> the mexican mafia member is her boyfriend. but she says she asked few questions about his gang activity. >> i've heard stuff i don't want to do know, see, 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, not a rocket scientist to figure that out. >> perales says the orejone inmate who wrote to her is a pen pal, met him through a girlfriend after her boyfriend stopped writing her.

said you don't got nothing do, your boyfriend ain't writing you, i was like, i guess, somebody just to make my time pass quicker, i was like all right. >> at this point i don't think the men are aware they're communicating to the same person. it is possible but i don't think they're aware of it. once they find out, the only person that could be punished is the female receiving the two letters, we have to walk on this with kid gloves. >> in addition to perales' safety, officer rodriguez has a new concern, the last letter written by her orejone pen pal was intercepted by mail room staff because of suspicious content. there she wrote to two different inmates, two different gangs but written in some sort of code. you see that? i need someone go through her bunk and pull the letters she's writing this guy because if they are coded messages we need that.

they could just simply be love letters. >> gang members often use such codes to trigger criminal activity like drug deals or even hits on rival members. so officer rodriguez decides that all of perales' mail will be further examined for further codes or incriminating information. >> it's possible she may have negative involvement in the letters she's receiving but at this point it's too early to tell which way we're going on this. we'll continue the investigation and see how far we get. >> coming up -- >> according to the letter this was on there. what does this mean? the bottom part of the letter. >> peggy perales is confronted about her mail. >> and -- >> i saw myself on the news and saying horrible things against me. >> two brothers charged with chilling crimes and find themselves suspected of even more sinister acts. rian! love your passat! um. listen, gary. i bought the last one. nice try. says right here you can get one for $199 a month. you can't believe the lame-stream media, gary. they're all gone. maybe i'll get one.

supervising a large population of inmates who may or may not be guilty of crimes ranging from drug possession to murder can be a stressful job for officers in san antonio's bexar county jail. >> can i talk to you? i want to talk to you real for a second. >> even more so, when the jail faces staffing shortages. >> we're at least 120 officers short. right now we're doing what we call a mandatory overtime program where we're requiring officers to stay over after their shift is completed for at least a couple hours. talking to the officers, you can see this is stressing them, really stretching it and hopefully we can do something about that in the near future so it isn't the proverbial rubber band and snap. >> the demands on staff extend beyond inmate housing units to service areas such as the jail's mail room. >> the most overwhelming aspect of this job is not the mail itself, it's the volume of the mail.

on a busy day, we'll get about 2600 pieces of mail coming in. going out we probably send out half that, 1300 pieces. daily. then we'll go to the cutting machine and open them all up. and we start the inspection process. we don't read all of the mail. however, we do scan the mail. we open it, inspect it and once it passes our inspection we go ahead and reclose it and send it to the inmates. we're looking for gang affiliations, signs, searching for contraband, of course. >> most of the mail they process are letters written from one inmate to another, some 500 such letters per day. baron ochoa is a frequent user of the inmate to inmate mail

system, the only way he can communicate with his younger brother. >> i like to hear about my brother, know that he's doing all right, keeping his spirits up, and it really is real strange having to read a letter from my brother. i think he's on the same floor as me. so, it's like, he's right down the hall. but i have to write letters to him. it's so hard to write letters to each other because it's the same stuff day in, day out but always at the end, there's always that stay strong or a hang tough or something, you know, words of encouragement. we always give each other words of encouragement. >> they are careful not to reveal much personal information in their letters. knowing that they could be read by authorities. >> yeah, we're certain that they are copying our letters, as long as i'm here they can read my mail, listen to the phone calls. they're hoping i will incriminate myself. >> the ochoa brothers face a complicated legal situation.

they're each charged with serious crimes and considered suspects in another set of crimes. baron is charged with sexually molesting his 10-year-old niece. conrad's daughter, sammy. he has pled not guilty. conrad has been indicted on 38 counts of possession of child pornography, to which he's pled not guilty. according to authorities, none of the images confiscated from his computer were of sammy. the brothers were arrested and charged these offenses after an even more serious crime occurred. sammy, her mother and an adult female roommate were all stabbed to death inside their home, which was then set on fire. and burned to the ground. >> the homicide investigation when it first started, of course, we thought that they were just eliminating us as suspects.

a few hours into the interview, it became very clear that they were looking at us as persons of interest. and that's how we were described on the news. >> though conrad and baron were immediately targeted as suspects, they have not been formally charged with any of the three murders. nor the arson. >> i was devastated. i couldn't believe it. on the news they put me as suspected of three counts of capital murder, stabbing, arson and that has nothing to do with my indictment. i'm not arrested on any of that but my character is being murdered on the media. >> days after the murder, rebecca gonzalez, conrad's former girlfriend filed a report with child protective services, stated that sammy told her that both conrad and baron were sexually abusing her. >> when i saw myself on the news and saying these horrible things against me, man, i can't stand that guy. wait a second, that's me.

none of that is true. >> i've said more than once every human life is precious. and as much as i might have hated my niece's mom, she's still a human being and has just as much right to live as i do and i don't see killing somebody as a viable solution. >> baron admits to disliking sammy's mother but says he was a good uncle to sammy who was caught in the middle of a custody battle between her parents. >> we were friends. she talked to me about the things she didn't think she could talk to mom and dad about. so, i might not go so far to say i was her confidant, her soulmate but we were very close, very friendly. she was my little friend. >> during the course of their investigation, authorities say they found deleted images on baron's camera of sammy and another young girl engaged in sexual acts.

he says the children might have gotten ahold of his camera and taken the pictures themselves. >> kids are playful, exploratory and when they have free reign over a camera they take pictures which out of context would look bad. >> authorities also say they found thousands of images of child pornography, though none involving sammy on conrad's computer. he says he has no knowledge of them. at all. >> they haven't shown me these pictures, i have no idea what pictures they're talking about. i have a computer that is not password protected, it's always on. so, i can use it, my brother used it, sam used it. for homework, whatever. i don't know. nobody will tell me. as for discovery package, to see what evidence they have against me, i was told i can't have it because it has explicit pictures on it. >> if conrad is found guilty, the consequences could be severe. >> if i'm found guilty on 38 counts of child pornography, i

could receive ten years per count for 38 counts. that's 380 years. that's a lot of time. coming up -- >> i have to believe, i have to believe that one day as soon as possible, preferably, conrad and baron will be charged with their murders and with the arson. >> sammy's grandmother attempts to deal with her loss. >> and -- >> you'll be surprised with the love connections or the pursuing love that goes on here. >> inmate pen pals work for some but lead to trouble for peggy perales. >> this is garcia. she is a class officer here. she's going to be monitoring you from this point on. i could smoke for the first week... i'm like...yeah, ok... little did i know that one week later i wasn't smoking.

county jail live in large, open dorms. outnumbered almost 8 to 1 by male inmates, the women usually find more things to bond over than the men. and those things often have to do with helping each other still feel like women. >> i'm everybody's plucker. but you can mess up pretty quick. >> andrea uses sock strings to help natalia nevin keep her eyebrows plucked and well-groomed. >> pain is beauty, right? >> that's what they say. >> brianna mcfall has come up with her own way to meet another feminine need. >> we don't have tampons in here, we're not allowed. this is how we make a tampon. cut the end off like this. >> don't try this at home. >> take the pad off. then get this right here. we roll it like that. this is going to be a small one. i put it in here. roll it, roll it, and there is a tampon. you use it.

this is contraband. we'll get in trouble for doing this. we get caught with this, making tampons, or if we have a tampon in our bed, that is a write-up. >> many of the other women spend time on what could be best described as the jailhouse version of online dating. they use the inmate to inmate mail system to write to male pen pals. >> how they meet each other is mutual friends from the outside, they know each other, they got arrested together, whatever. but you'll be surprised with the love connections, the presumed love that goes on here. >> i'm writing like six letters at a time. i was writing drone. where is his letter? i love to write drone, he's so sweet. >> this is for my pen pal, his name's juan. he helps me out when i'm sad. i have three pen pals but i write him more. >> i have everybody's name tattooed on me, i could have my own baby name book. 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 jail's largest gang, the tango orejones. she also writes to her boyfriend, a member of the archrival gang, the mexican mafia. suspicioous letter the orejone pen pal wrote to perales. >> a big concern 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? we're going to talk to her to let her know we're aware of it. >> if officials determine perales is colluding with either

gang she stands to lose her job in the laundry room and she could be assigned to a segregation cell where she would lose all her other privileges as well. >> peggy. i'm a gang officer here, yesterday they confiscated some letters from you. what's going on? what can you tell me about the letters? >> i was writing a pen pal and she didn't give me a chance to read the letters. i don't know what was in it. she said it was -- >> how many pen pals are you writing? >> just one. >> do you know what gangs these people are part of? >> i know that my baby's dad's confirmed -- >> you don't know what. >> the other gang? >> he's a orejone. >> according to the letter, this was on here. what does this mean? it's on the bottom part of the letter. >> i didn't write the letter. he wrote to me. >> he wrote that to you. this is garcia, she's a class officer here, she'll be monitoring you from this point on. any reports of gang-related activity i'll remove you from

with pen pals has been more trouble than it's worth. >> i mean, i don't even know who he is, i never seen that person. and, you know, i get letters and i can't even read them, i don't know what the hell it says and find out it has gsrp, whatever it is in orejone roman numerals. what the hell is that? i get in trouble for it, oh, no. you're not getting no letter from me ever again. uh-uh. coming up -- >> i've been accused with killing and burning a child. >> the ochoa brothers seek safe harbor inside bexar county jail. benny alonzo receives his sentence but his thoughts are elsewhere. >> my head twists and turns, my heart twists and turns, for your touch and love of your kiss and hugs. living with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis
