today, however, a very different war rages in san antonio, as two rival gangs shed blood in a power struggle to control a wide range of criminal activity, including drugs, prostitution, and human trafficking. and this turf war has expanded from the streets to inside the walls of san antonio's bear county jail. >> traditionally the mexican mafia, an outgrowth of a prison gang, had been a controlling gang here in san antonio, but here lately because members of the mexican mafia are getting older and some younger groups have come in and it's creating a lot of problems for us here at the bexar county jail. >> the capacity for 4,500 men and women, bexar county jail is larger than many state prisons. most of the inmates here are pretrial detainees, meaning they

have only been charged with crimes and are awaiting the resolution of their cases. but that doesn't stop violence. >> code 2! >> code 2. an inmate has just assaulted an officer. a jail special emergency response team, or s.e.r.t., answers the call. >> put your head to the wall. >> what's your name? >> juan rubio. >> 766399. >> injuries. >> right there to the nose. >> redness -- >> redness around the ear. it's all good. >> i don't have a statement. >> the report will read that juan rubio, currently in jail on charges including aggravated robbery, to which he has pled not guilty, was on his way to the recreation yard when he stopped for a drink of water. corporal odegaard then instructed him to hurry along. >> he turned, threw the water at me, struck me several times in the left side of my face.

as he was striking me and i was defending myself, i was trying to deploy my taser. my second officer came running out here to assist. the whole thing lasted three to four seconds. >> three to four seconds that will have lasting repercussions for rubio. >> put your hands on top of your head. you understand? if you resist, rubio, you will be tased. do you understand me? >> yes, sir. >> by assaulting an officer, rubio has not only broken the law. he has also violated a bylaw of the mexican mafia, the gang to which prison officials say he belongs. >> the mexican mafia has a code. they don't assault the officers. >> they don't want any attention brought upon them. if one of their members assaults staff, they already know that now staff is going to start watching them more closely, which is what they don't want. >> because inmate rubio broke that code, he's going to have to pay a penalty. that penalty could be as severe as a beating.

it could be anything beyond that. >> rubio, however, denies being a member of the gang. >> they say i affiliate with the mexican mafia. and i don't. >> he's being deceptive. rubio has signed a gang acknowledgment form identifying himself as a member of the mexican mafia. it's not uncommon for these guys to deny it to people who he thinks doesn't know his history. but in the end we do have all of our paperwork intact. >> officer rodriguez, part of the jail's gang intelligence division, heads to rubio's cell to discuss the situation. if rubio is willing to refute the mexican mafia, he can be placed in a protective custody housing unit for ex-gang members. >> if he decides to defect, or go x, we're going to go ahead and let him do so. if he decides to go with the actives, we're going to discuss the possible consequences of going with the actives. at this point we don't really know exactly which way we're going to send rubio. it kind of depends on what he

has to say. >> it doesn't take long for rubio to make it clear. he wants to remain in his unit, which only houses confirmed mexican mafia members. >> i mean, how do i know that the mafia's not going to discipline you for all this? >> they won't. i don't know. >> they won't? >> i'm good. i can house with anybody. >> but do you understand that you violated one of your reglas. >> i didn't violate nothing. >> nothing? >> nothing. >> so nothing's going to happen to you if i put you back with your people? >> nothing will happen to me. >> convinced rubio will be attacked if they return him to his housing unit, officials discuss transferring him to another mexican mafia unit. >> can we put him with the other actives? >> we have actives in a.a. and b.a. we could try him in b.a. i'll go back and visit him. rubio. i discussed your situation with the captain. he's approved you to go back but in unit b.a. so are you okay with that? >> i'll go anywhere. >> you don't think you're going to get assaulted -- >> i don't care anymore.

we'll find out when we get there. you can house me wherever. whatever happens happens. ♪ >> for years the mexican mafia has been the largest and most powerful gang at bexar county. but now a new gang has emerged. born in san antonio and rapidly spreading both on the streets and in prisons and jails. they are called the tango orejones. >> at one point they were all together and then as the years progressed they eventually broke away and now they're at odds with each other. the orejones began as foot soldiers of the mexican mafia but in the late 1990s they split off to form their own gang, which today rejects the mafia's strict rules and structure. >> [ bleep ]. >> they're very loose. there's no constitution. there's no real process on getting in. you can literally be an orejone tomorrow if you want to be one. orejones recruit on a daily basis. you send one orejone to population, within 24 hours he's

going to have three people with him. what started as a few members of orejones quickly grew into hundreds of members. and we went from having a small problem to having a large problem. >> orejone, baby! >> we eventually had to get all the orejones we confirmed and basically corral them to one living area, to four units. you send the mafia over here, the orejone over there, and you close the door to keep them away from each other. >> coming up, juan rubio gets his wish. but it comes with a price. >> if i hadn't been there to stop the fight when i did, there would have been some serious bodily injury done to him. >> and -- >> throwing knees, elbows at each other. banging each other's head on the wall, the door. >> the orejones pit two friends against each other. >> it's just like when they put two animals in a cage to fight. that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees, from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

inside the general population units of san antonio's bexar county jail, long periods of monotony can be shattered by sudden violence. on a saturday morning inmates pass time in the day room when a fight breaks out in the second floor cell. >> code 2. >> the jail's special emergency response team races to the unit and orders all inmates to the ground. within moments it's all over. one of the participants is a member of the white supremacist gang the aryan brotherhood, adam verlander, who's here on charges of car theft and evading arrest, to which he has pled not guilty. >> aryan brotherhood of texas, baby. >> the other inmate is dimitric gonzalez, who is awaiting trial for assault and drug possession and has also pled not guilty. >> so what was this about, verlander? >> bloody towels being left where we put our drinks. >> it's a misunderstanding.

i had come from the hospital. they thought because i had just came from going to the hospital i had laid a gauze that had blood on it on the windowsill. >> towels with blood on them. supposedly he left it on the window and he didn't like it. >> the men are split up and taken to separate units to cool down. for verlander the closest available cell is in one of the mexican mafia units. >> they may want him out of there because all the mexican mafia wants to be together. >> once they are locked in their cooldown cells, verlander and gonzalez share their accounts of what happened. >> the black individual left some bloody gauze pads sitting on one of the tables and was kind of disrespectful, you know. so i went up there and said something to him. >> i don't like losing my temper. i tried to get him to leave me alone. just get the hell away from me. >> i'm not one for playing. so i swung off on him. >> i said dude, are you serious? you want to fight?

so he tried it again. so one-handed i beat the [ bleep ] out of him. >> the mafia may have no choice but to have verlander as a temporary resident of their unit. but they let him know they don't approve of his interview. >> stop talking to the [ bleep ] camera, man. >> yeah. well, i guess the interview's over. >> [ bleep ] i'll kill you, bro. >> have a nice day. >> it's a lesson that most inmates at bexar county jail learn quickly. don't get on the wrong side of the mexican mafia. every member of the gang is literally on the same page. >> the mexican mafia has a very detailed constitution. all prospective members have to handwrite this and memorize the constitution. it outlines what will happen if you violate any rules within it. and it starts with just some minor discipline all the way to death. >> alleged mexican mafia member juan rubio violated one of those rules when he assaulted an officer.

although jail officials feared he might face a reprisal from the gang if he was returned to his unit, rubio refused their offer to put him in protective custody. >> so nothing's going to happen if i put you back with your people? >> nothing will happen to me. >> come on. we'll go to cell 2. >> so officials decided to move him to a different mexican mafia unit in another wing of the jail in the hope of protecting his safety. but the plan didn't work. >> after rubio was escorted into my unit we let him out of the cell for the day room hour. at that time he was assaulted by two other inmates. if i hadn't been there to stop the fight when i did, there would have been some serious bodily injury done to him. >> now that the mexican mafia has punished rubio, officer rodriguez must determine where rubio's mafia status stands. if gang leaders will not accept him back, then keeping rubio in a mafia unit could put his life in danger. >> i spoke to one of the assaulters, who is active mafia. >> so i understand that you must have got permission to do it. >> rubio was crossed out.

he was removed from the gang by other members. >> rubio. >> officer rodriguez knows they must now remove rubio from the mafia unit. >> i have to move you. >> i'm not going. they're going to have to take me with serts. >> i'm going to have to clair you as an x. >> i told him -- >> i cannot put you with the actives. >> i'm not going in there, man. >> rubio's refusal to defect complicates the situation. >> he probably wants to stay in the mexican mafia active tank because he feels that maybe he's not x'ed out, he doesn't want to lose his standing with the mexican mafia. >> i can't put you with the xs because you're telling me you're active. i can't put you with the actives because the actives don't want you. >> we'll let him cool off and talk to him again. to f. for some reason he still insists on going back with the actives we'll have to make an executive decision and either place him with the xs or just isolate him by himself. >> while sorting out what to do with him rubio is put in a temporary segregation cell away

from both active and ex-mexican mafia members. but rubio has accepted his punishment from the mafia and is ready to rejoin them. >> we're good. i respect what they did. they respect that i went in there. i don't run from it. >> according to jail officials, the mexican mafia runs with military-like control and discipline. but in the units run by their rivals, the orejones, things are different. >> what's up? >> the screaming and the pounding and everything, for them it actually is quite normal. >> 210, baby. what's up? >> they have nothing better to do. and they think they're some kind of gods or something. >> and orejone leaders have just taken their wrath out on two young cellmates who were recently classified as orejone recruits and placed in their housing unit. now separated the two inmates are christopher penuelez and jerry sanchez.

both are in jail on drug possession charges and have pled not guilty. >> they were approached by an unidentified inmate, who told them through the door that they had to fight. they had to fight to prove their heart in the gang. >> the winner would gain acceptance into the gang. the loser would be kicked out. refusing to fight was not an option. >> they had told us if me and him didn't fight that they were going to stab both of us. me and chris were scared. chris started crying. i didn't want to fight with him. but in this place you don't know what's going to happen. so i looked at chris and chris looked at me and chris started crying. and chris was just like what do you want to do? i said i don't want to fight with you. you know what i'm saying? >> me and him are talking about it and talking about it and we just finally came to it and said [ bleep ] it, we'll box each other. we've got to do what we've got to do to survive. we just started hitting each other. that's it. we were just closed fists and everything, throwing knees, elbows at each other.

banging each other's head on the wall, the door. it didn't matter to us. it's just like when they put two animals in a cage to fight. >> but for sanchez the odds in this contest were stacked against him. sanchez comes from a neighborhood with mexican mafia ties. and even though he had requested to be housed with the orejones, he has tattoos that symbolize the mafia. >> inmate sanchez, either way, if he would have won the fight or not, was no longer going to be allowed to be in there because his tattoos were too consistent with those worn by the mexican mafia. and penuelez on the other hand had an opportunity to stay in the unit if he won the fight. and apparently he didn't win the fight. >> i was already bleeding from my mouth, and i didn't want to fight him anymore. so i just stayed on the floor. >> they took us to medical. chris hugged me. and chris was crying and he told me he forgave me. he said he would have never voted against me. >> both of these inmates were x'ed out of the gang.

and we went ahead and moved them into the protective custody unit. >> after the fight we were still cool and we still stuck together, no matter what, because we knew where our hearts were. i knew where my heart was and i knew where my head was. i knew where i was standing. and basically, we both said you know, what we're still young, we don't need this right now. >> but the two friends would not be together long. though sanchez is waiting to go to trial on a drug possession charge, his judge has approved him for a work release program. >> sanchez? >> during the day sanchez will be released from the jail to go to work. >> do you need employment or do you have a job? >> i have a job. wood floors. >> today you can go pick up all your clothes, whatever you need. >> each evening sanchez will be required to return to the jail. >> be back at 7:00. >> 7:00? >> report to the annex, though. >> okay. all right. >> all right.

at san antonio's bexar county jail, some inmates embrace life, while others choose to defect, but then there is a third group, those who find themselves x'd out or forced from the game. after being forced to prove their allegiance, they were kicked out of the orejones, for his mexican tattoos. >> we still stuck together, no matter what, because we knew where our hearts were. >> the two friends are now living in separate cells in a special housing unit for ex gang members while sanchez awaits charges on robbery and drug charges, he thought he would be granted probation. instead, the court sentenced him to 60 days in an intensive boot

camp style rehab program. >> they're sentencing me because i'm still young. they don't want me to go around drugs or gangs. >> since getting word that his friend was going to boot camp, sanchez says he saw a disturbing change. >> before he got sentenced to boot camp he thought he was going home. he never talked to anybody, he never cussed, he never played around. he was more depressed than i was. now that he got sentenced to boot camp, he is more depressed than i was, because his head ain't where it is supposed to be right now. >> after i thought i was going to go home, and then i didn't go home. so i just -- been hitting on my door, punching my door and stuff like that. >> although he is no longer in the orejones, on the outside, pinuelas belongs to another gang, and he says that is where his loyalty is now.

>> i'm still going to be good when i get out. my gang is going to be there, i'm always going to be there for them. no drugs, and that is the only -- the drugs, that is the only way i know how to make money. >> juan rubio has completed his 25 days in segregation for assault on the corporal. but the question where to house him remains. rubio held out hope that he would be reinstated so he refused to be housed in the ex-gang unit. but now it appears rubio has reconsidered that decision. >> he has come forward and said hey, i defected. i no longer want to house with these guys. >> but the jail officials worry, they fear he may be plotting something. >> we received information he was no longer active with the gang. but at the same time we were told if he assaulted an ex

member he could come back with the gang. a true x has no chance of coming back, we can't afford him the housing unit he is requesting. we have to go ahead and wait a little bit and just watch. >> until then, rubio will remain sequestered in a single cell, away from both the active members and the mexican mafia. adam verlander claims allegiance to the aryan brotherhood. but his actions in and outside the jail puts his membership in jeopardy. now, the bed rock that verlander has built his life on is crumbling. he just received a letter informing him he has been x 'd out of the group.

>> i was on the run, you know, am i supposed to go hold down a 9 to 5:00 job and be on alert? >> what do you think, being x'd out? do you think somebody is going to hurt you? >> i don't know. >> meanwhile, verlander thinks his girlfriend will get him out of jail. >> that is how he made me feel, like i have to get him out. >> but now he has heard from a friend that skye is also gone. >> skye is in rehab, right now. she is in rehab, i don't know where she is at. i don't get no letters from her. i don't know where she is going to. i wish i knew where she was. >> as he stays in jail,

verlander's only comfort is skye's bitter sweet promises. >> your love is like the wind, you can't see it but you know it is there and can feel it all around you. that is the only letter i've gotten since i have been locked up. >> it must feel like you're all alone. >> i do feel alone. it kind of sucks.

due to mature subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. >> gang members disrupt the housing unit. >> they all feed off each other. one kicks in the door and they all join in kicking and screaming. >> when inmates fled their cells, the search team takes action. and they place one in special restraints. >> [ bleep ] drop you first [ bleep ] >> [ bleep ] [ bleep ] >> i told them in the hallway i could feel an attack was coming on.
