Lockdown. Gang Wars-Inside Pelican Bay State Prison
Description
When other California prisons can't handle their most violent gang members, they send them to Pelican Bay State Prison. This program takes viewers inside the notorious facility. From here, leaders of gangs such as Nuestra Familia, the Mexican Mafia, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Black Guerillas, and the Nazi Low Riders smuggle orders to lieutenants on the streets. These operatives, in turn, handle everything from drug-distribution businesses to assassinations-including hits taken out on gang rivals or even prosecutors.
