gang members to leave the gangs. they leave the gang for a variety of reasons. they all have a turning point, when they decide to leave. and it changes them. this would be something that any of you would logically imagine. for female gang members, and we did not see many of them on that video, but they are out there. they are not mothers, they are active gang members. female gang members, the turning point came at the birth of a child. for male gang members, the picture is more complex. it may be, surprisingly, it may be because they got their second strike, and they're frightened of getting the third. it may be because of the birth of a child, usually a sign. the gang world has not caught up with post-feminist theory. with the story that a gang member named maniac told me, he decided to leave the rolling 60's after 20 years, after achieving status. he was in the back seat of a car, being driven by one of his underlings in the front seat. one of his fellow gang associates got in the back seat with him. the associate said to move over. maniac did not want to move

leave gangs. either one, they need help building their identities. they need help with sang an alternative to the gang life. they need someone who is interested in them. i am going to tell you a story, and i will talk about who those people are. when i was a sweet young thing and a social worker in nickerson gardens, i had that one kid. every gang interventionist, every person in this room knows about that one kid. all of us have that kid. they touch us for reasons we cannot articulate. i don't know why bobby touched me, his name was little devil but i never wanted to call him by that name. i think about his personality and that maybe the reason. he was 14 years old and had been abused, and was in foster placement with his hat -- aunt. i fell in love with him in the most proper, loving, in the most big sister way. i would say to him, with all the ignorance of the young social worker, i will always be here for you, always. always. it was a friday night, and i had gone on a string of disasters state

>> it's easy to get into the gang and start doing stuff with the gang.y from it, other gang members consider them a rat or no good. it's a tough decision for them. they have family members involved, that putting their family members in jeopardy. >> the big issues that i wrestled with was, am i going to get killed by dropping out? is my family going to get killed by dropping out? defecting from the gangs. that was my big issue, i started realizing that, am i going to get killed by staying over there? >> what seems to be the biggest problem in your life right now? >> we met jason in an anger management class inside the transitional housing unit. >> get myself on track, keeping myself on track. >> jason had to join the nazi low riders once in prison for protection. just looking at his eyes, you could see at times he almost had this 1,000 yard stare. i'm sure that war veterans have of having seen and felt the shock of so much violence. >> he's serving a life sentence for murder, told us he reached the breaking point when he was ordered to kill a fellow gang

you work every day with gang members. you were once a gang member yourself. why do you think you are effective working with young people and what does this mean to you and how we know that this is working. first of all, i want to thank god for his grace. i work with united players. i do reentry and the youth involved in juvenile delinquency. the majority of the kids i work with our gang members. i was formally -- formerly a gang member who grew up in san francisco. we all have stories of guys involved with the gang. everyone has a different story of why they joined. my thing is, i believe it works for me to be involved with kids who were in gangs -- i worked with all of the shot colors and i had a goal while i was there. it took me 10 years before i started to transform my life. in the meantime i have the goal that i wanted to be out here. i wanted the opportunity. i was given a life sentence in 1979. i was involved in gang and i caught a murder case. 15 years to life -- and i came here in 1979 and i got out -- and i have been out for almost five years. in my

we're a street gang. they consider us a street gang.t structured, we're not considered, you know, like mafiawise -- we don't control the outside, money laundering and things like that, you know what i mean? they can't validate us. >> what do you want to do with the bulldogs? >> whatever it takes. this is my life now, there's no chance for me to get out. i'm going to have to die sometime. i might as well go out with a bang, you know? >>> coming up, even in the shu, robert's always ready for battle. >> this is my shoe, i don't mess with my hands. i count, it's as close as we're going to get to pullups. >> and later a gang dropout struggles with life on the sensitive needs yard. hey. they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorry. ok...four words... scarecrow in the wind... a baboon... monkey? hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? jimmy: happier than paul revere with a cell phone. ronny: why not? anncr: get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or

follow me gang, i'll make your crops grow. what's going on here, gang? oh gosh, well, this is my new style. i'll see you guys down the wave tonight, all right? [laughter] a little tattoo there. what's going on here, gang? ah-ah. the heated air cooled and when the heated air cooled what happened to the-- the pressure inside? it went down. how about the pressure outside. same. but why does it hold to my head? why? how many people say, "well, it has something to do with air, but there is probably no reason for that, huh." it's sort of like this. one of these devices here. you know what this is, this is a physics experiment, right? how come it's sticking, gang? it looks like we all at times gonna have-- gonna have one of these, gang. are you looking what's going on there, huh? why? how many say, "oh, there is probably no ason for that." isn't the air pressure pushing against the side there? isn't the air pressure inside pushing back out? but not as much. because i squashed some of the air out, and when i squashed the air out, it starts to ce back, it reduces

the word for the ganges - the sanskrit word for the ganges is ganga . the british people came to india, they didn't - couldn't pronounce ganga well, so they call it the ganges, but the word is ganga. ganga is our spiritual mother - it's the mother of the country. my sister came here several years ago to spend a few years with us from india, and once she opened up a couple of things that she had brought from a little bag - she had suitcase - children that young, they are all looking at it - and there was a little container she had. in that container, she had brought the water from the ganges. and our children asked her, "why did you bring this water?" because they were not exposed to this part of our culture. and she said, "i don't know when am i going to go. i have brought this," because the custom is when somebody dies, you put the ganges water in the mouth - you are in the the hands of the eternal mother, from which you came - we came from our mother, and we return to our mother. so there is always a deep-seated desire and wish and dream of everything

okay, gang? catch you then. [music] captioning performed by aegis rapidtext you are bonkers 'cause iron doesn't float. people make boats out of wood. well, here's this clay, and it has the same weight. watch this. oh, yuck. [laughter] yucko. yeah, we got it now, gang. isn't that nice? now it's being held up by what? your fingers. my fingers. you get the idea. concentration of force is pressure. so let's talk about that, gang. pressure, definition. screwed up. i don't wanna talk about pressure. i wanna talk about density first. you guys, can you come in on wednesday? [laughter] how do we find the center of gravity of different things? well, the book's easy. how about something like this? there's a way. and the way is very easy. let me show you. all i gotta do is suspend it. suspend it by that point. guess where the center of gravity is, gang? it's somewhere beneath this line, okay? over here, somewhere in here. now, let me try this again, gang. troy, i think our board is insufficient. let me try this again. let m

[laughter] well, okay, let's move on, gang. i don't know someone's gonna give me an explanation of what's happening here. and i'm gonna be very pressed. who is going to be the one? in fact, that could be like a term project. what went wrong tonight? who's goa say, "hewitt, nothing went wrong at all. "what happened was, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. "what went wrong was your failure "to be able to observe and interpret what happened to it. da, da, da, da, da. nature is not wrong, you is." okay? someone write it out, 'cause i am baled, gang. [music]

follow me gang, i'll make your crops grow. what's going on here, gang? oh gosh, well, this is my new style. i'll see you guys down the wave tonight, all right? [laughter] a little tattoo there. what's going on here, gang? ah-ah. the heated air cooled and when the heated air cooled what happened to the-- the pressure inside? it went down. how about the pressure outside. same. but why does it hold to my head? why? how many people say, "well, it has something to do with air, but there is probably no reason for that, huh." it's sort of like this. one of these devices here. you know what this is, this is a physics experiment, right? how come it's sticking, gang? it looks like we all at times gonna have-- gonna have one of these, gang. are you looking what's going on there, huh? why? how many say, "oh, there is probably no reason for that." isn't the air pressure pushing against the side there? isn't the air pressure inside pushing back out? but not as much. because i squashed some of the air out, and when i squashed the air out, it starts to come back, it red

what people defined as a gang, that must be a gang member right there. i have tattoos on my arm and neck and hand, and none of them are getting associated. they all tell personal story in my life. somebody would say that this is a gang member. there would be the artistic side. i think that this comes to a place where there has to be a level of understanding. they have the school system and the politicians. everyone plays a part. [applause] >> you have worked as a police officer -- and now you're the prosecutor. you now prosecute all of the gang cases. what is your >> imagine you are 21, you are from mississippi, going through the police academy. it is 1989 and you are now working in los angeles. after being a patrol officer for just a few months, you are placed on gang detail. you have arrested a youth. instead of taking him to jail, you taken to his mother. the mother says, can you make him more afraid of you that of the gang members? the academy does not prepare you for that. i take that experience and i realized in the gang environment, most of these

part of gangs is paranoia. it invade. some times people see things that didn't really happen. as an end result. a lot of innocent people died. i just tired of all the lies, you know, all of the backstabbing, all of the politics, paranoia. i just got tired of it. >> victor joined the mexican mafia while serving a prior 23-year prison sentence for kidnapping and aggravated assault. a recent parole violation, landed him back in jail. he has adopted a fatherly role with ex-gang members in the unit. >> you want to do it in the right way, legal way. can't be going to prison at this age. >> among those victor counsels is johnny robles, charged with attempted capital murder and theft. he pled not guilty and is awaiting trial. >> you get to a pin the where you have got to make a decision. is this the type of life that i want? >> i have to first of all be -- willing to -- change my life, you know what i mean? >> robles joined the gang during a prior stay at another texas jail. >> i didn't like the idea of them trying to

okay, gang. let's look at this, thinking small, why is it that one molecule moving faster than any other and, by the way, a helium atom will do that. if you take a helium atom and let it go in this room, it'll continually go faster than any other molecule. does anyone know why? why would helium molecules move faster? you guys know any helium in atmosphere find its way at the top? it's going faster. helium is the fastest moving molecule of any group of molecules around. in fact, helium stays in the atom form, just one atom. doesn't gang up into molecules, and a helium atom is very fast. and let's see if we can see why. let's suppose we have some helium gas in the room here. would that have the same temperature as the air in the room? let's have a helium balloon here and it's in contact with the air in the room. won't it come to the same temperature? yes, it will. the air in this room all has the same temperature. that doesn't mean every molecule is going exactly as fast as the other. it means on t

for instance, if they belong to some sort of white supremacist gang, hispanic gang, asian gang. >> been diagnosed with an std? >> no. >> ever had sex with an iv drug user? >> no. >> each inmate is given a thorough medical screening to determine their medical history and prevent the spread of disease. the inmates will spend most of their first day in this holding cell, named the library after its former purpose. it's here the inmates will have their first prison meal. >> a lot better than where i just came from, that's for sure. >> i thought it would be a lot better. after the population started getting worse and worse, the food started getting worse. >> randy russell is no stranger to usp. he first came in at the age of 15 and did 17 years on a robbery charge. >> randy, it's not good to see you. okay? >> now, randy is back on a parole violation, leaving behind a wife and four children. >> one time i thought i was going to come back, i asked my wife, i said, should i run? she goes, well i'm not going to make that call. but she goes, but you can't take me with you. if i'm not with my wife

oh, gang, did you see such a thing? look at that, gang. if you stuck your hand in there and hit it against the table, would it do the same thing? yes, yes, can we have a volunteer, please? [laughter] unfortunately, it would, yeah. another one? right. would a pen break? you wanna try it? yeah. okay, ted's got a little-- let's see if i can do this. i did this a long time ago. what was that? now, i got a friend of mine, his name is gerald walker who does something that i don't have the guts to do. gerald takes the stuff and drinks a little bit and blows out. i ain't gonna do that, gang. [laughter] ted is doing pretty good, yeah? guess who's got the courage of the two of us? come on, try one. here's where you get the bnta. what did you do? did you eat it? is it all right? did you put it in your mouth? what will you do is hold it. well, it isn't your tongue, put it over your teeth and then just blow over the top of it. i only drop, of course, i don't have any experience. i didn't say how you did that, ted. it will be-- you want me to-- oh, i ha

okay, gang. ideas day. i got a couple of objects. i got a styrofoam ball and i got a lead ball. which one is heavier? the lead ball. the lead ball. well, you don't really have enough information to say. but let me ask you another question. which is more dense? the lead ball. what does it mean to say dense? more packed together. more packed together. more compact, right? more scrunched up. and isn't this lead ball, even without weighing it, you can tell this is more dense than this. so we're gonna talk about a definition, gang, and the definition is density. density, here we go. two kinds of density: mass density and weight density. we can say mass density is simply the amount of mass per volume, or weight density is simply weight per volume, okay? if i told you, for example, my lanai had a 200-pound rock, would that be a big deal? not a big deal. a lot of people got 200-pound rock out in the rock garden, yeah. let's suppose a 200-pound rock, gang, is that big. ooh, that is a big deal. you don't b

are you a gang member? >> no, sir. >> you're not part of any gangs?> no, sir. >> do you understand you're monitored for gang member activity? you are not a gang member? >> no. >> go back to your unit. >> thank you. >> thanks for your time. >> officer rodriguez and corporal garcia will continue to monitor perales and for now, would like to see her pen pal relationships continue. >> one reason why we're not jumping on that right at this point, we don't want to expose the fact that we know she's receiving mail. once we expose that they'll cut her off and this may be something we could potentially use to learn information. so, so far we'll go ahead and give her the benefit of the doubt that she's not doing anything, however we did warn her if anything comes out we'll take appropriate action. >> perales has no intention of giving rodriguez and his team any more to work with. she says her brief experiment 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

but you know what, gang? these ideas apply to sound, because in the case of an aircraft going faster than the speed of sound, it's gonna leave a conical-shaped wave behind. and that's called a shock wave. so anything that moves faster than the speed of sound is gonna have the sound all ganged up and form that high-pressure cone. this is really high-pressure air, just like with water that would be high wave, yeah? and now high-pressure air, when you encounter that down below-- let's suppose this is an aircraft now, not a bug. the person up here says, "hey, wow, look at the aircraft, man, silence." "no sound at all. "hey, they finally made it. they finally made it. no, boom." okay? and this thing here, finally-- wash right over and when that hits the listener, the listener can't tell the difference between that and like dynamite going off. i used to prospect in colorado. we'll be way out in the mountains and sometimes we'd hear-- --hey, is that someone prospecting, someone nearby, someone making some dynamite h

how about this, gang? someone says, "oh, the reason wood floats "and iron sinks is because wood-- because iron is heavier." i mean, you take a paper clip-- [makes sound] --then you take a great, big log and it floats. so what's that person mean when he says, "oh, it's because the iron is heavier?" - denser. - more dense. denser. denser. see? heavy compared to volume, then that's denser. any other questions about anything? okay, we're right on schedule, gang. next time, we're gonna be talking about gases, gases and atmospheric pressure. see you then. physics. yehey. [music]

i started gang-banging.ing to cry, i'm going to let their blood be my tears, you know. >> what did you do to gain notoriety? >> blasting fools. >> did you kill anybody? >> i mean, you know, i've been -- i've been -- it's been alleged, you know. >> through his years of coming in and out of custody, he has elevated his status within both the inmate population and the gang population to be considered a very violent inmate. >> all the things that i've been through, it's like i have been walking through hell wearing gasoline shoes. >> i'm telling you right now you've got the green light to do what ert is known best for. >> nice and steady. nice and steady. >> the team is on its way to briceno's cell to launch a surprise shakedown for contraband. and they're taking no chances. >> get on the ground. get on the ground. get on the ground or we will use lethal weapons against you. >> slide out. slide out. on your stomach. keep coming out. that's fine. start heading off to your left. turn that way. >> we do cell search

>> what gang are you affiliated with?> 13. >> how do you deal with your gang affiliation once you leave here? >> i'm going to ignore them and go to school. >> you think ignoring them is going to work? >> hopefully. >> did it work last time? >> no, last time, i didn't have no future plans. i got out, i didn't have my ged. i didn't have no future plans. now i do. now i got an education. i got my ged. i'm going to go to college and play football. >> what was your intent with the gun? why did you have it? >> protection. >> from? >> other gang members. >> let me ask you this -- if i sent one of my sergeants to shake your room down right now and your release was dependent on whether or not there was stg material in your room, are you leaving or not? >> coming up on "lockup, pendleton juvenile." >> you were just talking about your victims, you were smiling. why were you smiling? >> tension-filled hours for andrew and abel. there's no guarantee either will go home. later, we find out what happened to the officer marcus branch att

i seen the gang unit come here due to the fact that i am a gang member. i blocked my window.i could reach for -- >> take the window down. >> -- i flushed it. but i'm not knowing that when i put the shield up, he seen what i was doing. >> take the window down. >> so i told my roommate, man, forget it, man, i'm going to go out there, if i'm dirty i'm dirty. >> our interview with inmate everett went very well. he's admitted to the fact that he's been insane gangsta disciple since he was 14 years old. however, he said it wasn't really about gangs. it was about unity. they delude themselves into thinking this is a huggy feely type of gang when it's not. >> the manifesto also included a key to the gang's secret codes. >> we have shampoo. that's code for weed. conditioner is heroin. we use these things to get in control of contraband. if it says that you used my shampoo in the shower and he signs it 0-31 then it's pretty basic that he's a blood and he's delivering something to the shower, marijuana, heroin, something. basically, you put a time on it. so i'll know what time to go loo

down. >> byrd gang.that what you are? why didn't you tell us in the first place? >> little bit of cooperation is better than none. >> during the search, knight and demerey also found a lighter hidden in the mattress of sandier's cell mate, alfredo roca moreno. knowing he has a lengthy history, correctional officers now want to take a closer look at the mattress. >> what have we got here? >> i need this mattress checked for contraband, please. >> we have to break this whole mattress down. regulations require that security check mattresses when they're brought in like this. lieutenant? this was the area that was concerned, right? >> yes. >> roca moreno is a known member of a puerto rican prison gang called the nietas. he joined during an earlier prison sentence he served in puerto rico, but he insists the nietas are not a gang. but a fellowship of sorts. >> it was a word from the warriors. they used to send it to the gods three times. that's why it means the birth of a new warrior. >> roca moreno says puer

i'm here to take notes, gang." you tell me, i'll write it down, teach and i'll memorize it and i'm just looking for a "c," anyway. at the time of the full moon, how's the high tide going to be? extra high? are you gonna go digging clams at the high tide? are you gonna wait till low tide comes? you wait six hours later and you go, right? now should you go at the time of a full moon? how many say, yeah, that's the best time because you can get more clams because the water go away, way out and you get a real, real, low, low tide. show hands, only two people on this side of the room. i got something to invite you all to do saturday night when you take your bath. when you take your bath, i want you to get in the tub and fill it up and i want you to start sloshing the water back and forth. and when you slosh the water out in front of you and when it gets extra, extra high, that's the time of the full moon. turn around quick and look behind you and guess what you're going to find? guess what you're going to find, extra wh

that didn't even gang bang.ontes maintains his innocence in this case, he admits to past violence with his gang. >> well, the things that i did, it was like little things, you know. shoot-outs with different gang bangers, but never actually killed no one. injure them? yeah. killed them? no. i'm not a murderer. i'm not hard-core gangster. homey, no. my things were usually drugs, weapons, money, easy. i had good grades in elementary, junior high, high school. i graduated with a 3.17. i'm a certified electrician. people used to say, he works. he has a good job, but i started hooking up with different people, older friends, older guys. serious business. so, i was, easy money. i will do that favor for you, you know, let's go. >> what was easy money? >> delivering, here, there. nice. they used me to do all these runs. was i getting paid good money? yeah. was it worth it? not really. but that's one thing that i thank god for being locked up, is because being on the street, when i was on the street, oh, man, i was bad.

lifestyles that are safer, we will be that much more successful as a city and they are doing that with gang prevention and motivation and aspiration for the youth getting them jobs as officers in a capacity outside of their uniform that is a wonderful thing. were the to give a shout out to doctor row chair oh, vickier. [spelling?] yes, she is a hero because, she is also trying too make sure that the none-violate lifestyle is taught when people visit the hospital can they get some injury prevention vice and making that are we can prevent those injury and is then of course, there are these culturally competent staff that we have at the hospital through barbara garcia's leadership and the whole commission to make sure that we have competent support, that talk with the patients and their families and make sure that the continuity of healthcare extends from the doctors all the way to the families and those have carol lamb and rachel or kin and thank you very much for our your heroism today. >> (applause) . >> not only do we have a world-class trauma center we will continue having that, we have g

okay, gang, let's begin. your friend calls you up. all of you are-- your so-called friend calls you up all the time and wants to come over the house to see you. but you just say, "hey, look, i'm really, really too busy." calls again and again and you say, "i don't know what to say but i'm just too busy. i'm just too busy with my work." and he say over the phone, "oh, that's too bad "because i'm into giving massages and i have to do a one-hour continuous massage." "massage? well, maybe i can find the time. come on over," right? so they come over and they gave you massage and they pour some alcohol on your back. and when they pour the alcohol on your back, you, "oh, wow, it's cold." he say, "no, it's not cold. "i got it from the medicine cabinet right where all the other stuff is." is that alcohol colder than anything else in the room? - no. - no. if it were, what would happen? thermal equilibrium. the other things would heat it up. isn't that true? doesn't heat flow from high to low temperature? and aren't all the things in our environ

those are big ideas, gang. what is going on with the whole cosmos, and there are people that from day to day work on those kind of things and that's how they bring their lunch every day to work on. those are the astrophysicists and the astronomers, really wild stuff. but when you start to think about these things that are far away like that and big, it kind of humbles you. because let's make a graph about what this whole thing is. here we are right here. here is the big bang, i'm going to just draw a graph right on this space here. here's the big bang, this is 50 billion years later and a hundred, okay? when is the time that human beings learned how to control fire in this whole cycle? it's about here. when that graph is about here, the human beings learned how to make fire. where are human beings now? about here, okay? here's where we used to be when we were in the caves and now we're like this and we got this to go off in this one cycle. i got a question for you. what will it be like? what will we be like whe

they segregate inmates based on color and gangs. why do prisons not work on educating inmates on social relations, racial tolerance, and why don't they find a way so the different races can get to know each other? >> i would like to enter that. segregation has -- i would like to answer that. segregation has always been a problem in this country. i grew up in new orleans. we believe that education is the key. we all need to sit at the table. i do not believe in segregation for inmates. they need to tear that barrier down and put people together, no matter what. when we go inside the walls of san quentin, it is not just black inmates. it is hispanic, pacific islanders, white, native americans, it is everybody. when they leave that room, they go back to their communities that are segregated. they, too, do not like it. it is a barrier that has to be torn down. i know it works. being in there for the last four years, we make it a point that everybody mixes up, even the seating. you do not just sit with a black person or a white person. i

it doesn't matter if they're a black gang, an asian gang, a hispanic gang, or a white gang. in los angeles county and they get arrested, they end up coming to the los angeles county jail system. >> the osj unit must rely on communication to help prevent gang violence. >> solving crime is all about getting the information from somebody. it's not physical evidence. >> who are you warring with right now? >> we ain't with nobody. it's just mainly a money thing. mainly we just doing our thing. everybody's doing their individual thing. >> you have had a history of feuding with who? blacks or hispanics? throughout the years over there. >> it's been a history of whoever stepped on our toes. >> knowing which gangs are fighting each other helps the osj unit decide who to remove from general population and where to search for weapons. >> we have found them with hacksaw blades, anything that -- a metal rod. in our ovens you have the grills that you put in the oven to cook on. they'll break off the rods on that. here's a shampoo bottle that was just once a plastic bottle, they've melted
