>> both brothers dropped out of the notorious gang based in northern california. they're in protective custody because the gang usually retaliates, often fatally against dropouts. >> my brother was 13, i was 12, i seen him get involved and i followed suit. i just ran with it. i loved it for a minute. i thrived in it. >> behind you. >> ezekiel says he dropped out of the gang shortly after gabriel did. but it was because of what the gang asked of him. >> i was in prison and a friend of mine had told me, i heard your brother went all bad. they kind of wanted me to help them. you know what i mean? >> punish your brother for dropping out? >> i guess you could say that. come on, that's my blood. my very first friend. jesus himself couldn't strike that man without having to strike me. >> i know my downfall.

like most large county jails, santa rita has a revolving door of dozens of inmates entering and leaving the facility every day. many are familiar faces. >> the offenders come in and out constantly. we deal with the same inmates over and over and over again. we typically hear the same story, i'm never coming back as they're leaving. it's usually someone that we've already seen a dozen times come in and out, in and out. it's usually the same people in and out. >> i'll get your clothes for you. stand by. >> one of those repeat offenders is ezekiel taylor. today he's bound for the exit after serving 60 days for a probation violation. >> back at work tomorrow? >> no, not tomorrow. monday. >> taylor will now exchange his jail scrubs for the clothes he was arrested in. >> don't wear any of our stuff. if the release deputy catches you with any of our stuff on, you know how it is.

>> gabriel will soon face the same tough streets. prosecutors offered to reclassify his current burglary and vehicle charges as a probation violation. so rather than face trial and a possible prison sentence, he will serve 90 more days at santa rita before he's freed. retaliation from his former gang is always a possibility. but gabriel has other demons to be concerned with. >> what do you think the chances are you're going to stay away from meth? >> the chances are good. i just need a vice, some type of hobby. not a hobby like that. but i grew up this way. either i can take on smoking weed, which is not as serious as meth. me and meth don't mix. i can't drink much, you know what i'm saying? it easily affects me. i can take on drinking. it's legal. i got to find me some type of crutch to slowly get me off the meth. >> meth has taken a toll on
