Safe Mode: On
Mexican Mafia Aim to Takeover Arizona Jail

April 24, 2012


Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio ordered parts of the maximum security 4th Avenue Jail be placed on indefinite lockdown as racial tensions rise. The tensions were brought on by orders from the Mexican Mafia chieftains who, according to the Sheriff’s Office, “appear to be trying to control the downtown jail.”

Arpaio says the move to lockdown the jail aims to protect not only officers but inmates as well.

According to the Sheriff’s jail intelligence unit, super max Mexican Mafia inmates housed in the closed custody unit of the 4th Avenue jail are putting out orders to all Hispanic inmates to refuse to be housed with black inmates.

Chieftains, as they call themselves, are also demanding racial fights occur. And fights have been on the increase, Arpaio says. Detention officers have intervened only later to be threatened. And last Monday, a large scale fight involving 25 Hispanic and black inmates broke out before detention officers could quell the problem. No serious injuries were reported.

Arpaio says Sheriff’s jail intelligence officers have monitored conversations by Mexican Mafia members who are ordering racial beat downs on all black inmates and to engage detention officers in any way. Shanks and contraband are on the increase and have been intercepted by officers.

In addition, a number of detention officers lives have been threatened in recent weeks.

One officer had to relocate his entire family from their north valley home while other officers have had to be reassigned to ensure their personal safety.

“Most of the violence,” Arpaio says, “is occurring on the 3rd floor of the jail so that entire block of 750 inmates is on lockdown. All privileges including canteen, visitation, phone and recreation have been suspended until further notice. Our goal is to break the bond between the Mexican mafia chieftains and the lower level Hispanic inmates. The Mexican mafia doesn’t run this jail, we do.”

The 4th Avenue Jail is the most secure maximum facility jail in the Southwestern United States

      That's probably why he's 'investigating' Obama's birth place as a diversion...lol

      One more thing, it costs $90k per year to keep a prisoner locked up in US Fed prison, I'm almost certain he's taking a back hander from the shareholders (like Cheney) too.

  • Sounds like the guards should start using aliases like "Bob" and "Bill" and start wearing dark Oakleys and carry 5 foot long 100 killivolt cattle prod/tazers. Or SuperSoakers filled with caustic acid if wanting to mix things up and keep it interesting.

      I hear what you're saying but unfortunately this shit has been going on a lot longer than Kat Williams little rant from last year. I was reading about innocent blacks being attacked and in some cases killed by roving bands of mexicans in LA years ago. It's something the media is keeping a tight lid on for sure but it is going on

    • @zcotty Actually, since it's a jail, most of the people there haven't been charged yet. They're being held until a court date.

      Innocent until proven guilty and all...

  • Hasn't this been going on for a while on the west coast? I know in California the Mexican mafia runs the prisons, and pretty much the streets. I also know that in California there has been a black vs Mexican for a while know. And I guess I just figured az was the same way, given the close proximity to california

    • @lefty123 No, I say give them something to do, like 16 hour work days making i-phones or something, cutting the cost down considerably, and crippling China all in one stroke.
