I Was a Norteño Gang Soldier Inside California’s Most Dangerous Prisons | Mario Sanchez
Mario Sanchez grew up in San Francisco, where a tough childhood and the streets shaped his future. After high school, he started committing home invasions that led to a decade-long prison sentence in some of California’s most dangerous maximum-security prisons. Inside, Mario joined the Norteños — one of the most feared prison gangs in the state.
