To no one's surprise, California prisons are filled with criminals. More so, many were "shocked" when it became known that a prison gang was running criminal syndicates.
"Authorities are planning to expand efforts to shut down the 45-year-old Nuestra Familia prison gang following a massive sweep in the Central Valley last week that netted dozens of alleged Nuestra Familia street operatives on drug trafficking charges.
Measures targeting gang leaders already serving life sentences in California prisons could include limits on inmate bank accounts (Nuestra Familia has used the trust accounts to launder drug money and pay off associates), severe restrictions on visitations and written correspondence, and deployment of new technology to block illicit cell phone communications, according to state officials."
what, prison bank accounts were used to launder drug money and pay bribes? How did the bank accounts get more than a few hundred dollars in them--and why?
It looks to me that the prison administration, as much as the criminals, as responsible. Administrators for 45 years have allowed crime to be run out of the cells of California prison.
Here is an easy response:
1. No more than $250 in a prison bank account.
2. A total lock down of those involved in the gangs
3. Quick return of the death penalty
4. Termination of officials responsible
5. Stop the racial segregation of prisoners
