William Noguera sits down with Vlad to break down the realities of San Quentin State Prison’s California death row in the 1980s, challenging common assumptions about rape, “punks,” and prison politics. Drawing on 40 years behind bars, Noguera explains how general population yards operated through strict affiliations, or “cars,” including Southern Mexicans, Northern Mexicans, the Mexican Mafia, Nuestra Familia, Bloods, Crips, BGF, and Border Brothers. He responds to Ramon “Mundo” Mendoza’s comments about high-ranking Mexican Mafia figures like Pegleg, insisting that during his time on death row, that behavior was not tolerated on GP yards. Noguera also details violent yard separations, protective custody, paperwork checks, informants, and the deadly stakes among condemned inmates, many convicted of multiple murders.
