  • Mexican & Black prison relations | Crip and Blood unity in prison

    Mexican & Black prison relations | Crip and Blood unity in prison
    Jan 17 2026
    Tier Talk is a show about California Prison living and on this episode we have Damien "Tiny Cisco" Doster from the Avalon Gardens projects, Porky from Village Town Piru in Compton and Brian from the Bay Area city, Pittsburg.This episode by Alex Alonso of StreetTV, is an in-depth conversation featuring three individuals currently incarcerated in the California Department of Corrections: Porky, T.C., and Brian. The discussion is notable for its raw look at life inside the California prison system, particularly during a time of significant transition in prison culture. Here are the key themes and takeaways from the conversation:1. The "Old School" vs. "New School"A major portion of the talk focuses on how prison life has changed over the decades. The men discuss the shift from a strictly regulated, "old school" convict code to the current environment. They express concerns that the younger generation lacks the same discipline and respect for the established rules that once governed racial groups and internal politics.2. The End of Racial HostilitiesThe participants discuss the Agreement to End Hostilities, a landmark document among California prisoners intended to stop racial violence. They talk about the challenges of maintaining peace and the effort required to educate younger inmates who enter the system with "street" mentalities that don't always translate well to the "convict" code.3. Personal Transformation and AccountabilityEach man reflects on their personal journey.Porky and T.C. discuss the process of aging behind bars and the realization that the lifestyle they once promoted led to a dead end.They emphasize the importance of self-rehabilitation, noting that while the system offers programs, the internal will to change is the most important factor.4. Gang Impact and RegretThere is a heavy focus on the consequences of gang involvement. They discuss how the "neighborhood" loyalties that landed them in prison often disappear once the cell door closes, leaving individuals to face decades of confinement alone. They use the platform to warn younger viewers against following the same path.5. Life Terms and ParoleThe men discuss the reality of serving "Life" sentences and the psychological toll of not knowing if or when they will ever be released. They touch on the recent changes in California law (such as SB 1437 or youth offender laws) that have provided some hope for "lifers," but emphasize that one must truly prove they have changed to benefit from these laws.-Join channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcHPFwv4YFLehTMkkxSAyHg/join-🔥SUBSCRIBE to Street TV: http://bit.ly/2bVAU47Listen to entire 🎙Straight Politicking Podcast 🎙🎙➡️ Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/straight-politicking/id1752263958➡️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1uGhq4GvlxhHGQHSxQRTNMTIMECODES00:00 - Straight Politicking Episode 2, with TC, Porky & Rob01:03 - TC explains first01:51 - Bryan says he is onUncuffed podcast, produced in prison03:36 - Bryan on how long his incarceration has been06:27 - Porky been in prison for 25 years11:11 - A Blood and Crip in prison together12:39 - TC on Blood and Crip unity in prison20:59 - Porky21:42 - Mexicans and Black relations in prison22:44 - Using the N Word by Latinos24:53 - Are Mexicans different on different yards?28:35 - Relationship between Blacks and Mexican from the Bay area perspective32:45 - 82 years in prison among the three guests33:19 - Porky speaks on growing up in Ujima Village, Village Town Piru36:56 - the Avalon Gardens projects off 88th Street42:05 - Bryan does media production in prison47:40 - violence in california prison, staying safe50:04 - Rules in a California prisonFollow Our InstagramsAlex Alonso: https://www.instagram.com/alexalonso101Street TV: https://www.instagram.com/street.teeveeStreet TV Media | For advertising Email: info [AT] streetgangs.com | Call / Text: (32Three) 681.997nine#straightpoliticking #alexalonso #alexalonsointerviews #solanoprison #tiertalk #californiaprison #pelicanbayshu
