a gang. that means just because a gang member committed a crime doesn't make it gang related. they now put this in place in 2013. they compared those numbers to gang-related murders in 2012. which didn't have the stricter criteria revealing a dramatic drop. >> is it an accurate picture? >> it's not. if you take five or six homicide that's have nothing classified as gang-related homicides this year, last year they would have been. >> like the murder of frances, it was a gang related case because san jose police say gang members were involved. it was changed to nongang-related based on the new criteria. of the eight cases police classified as gang-related this year, d.j. watkins isn't one of them. >> i can't speak for the other families but i can speak for mine. you mean to tell me my nephew got killed in a gang area and now you're saying it wasn't gang-related? how many other cases are you doing that to? >> two teenagers were murdered the same day as d.j. watkins, shot next to cole's departmen

so that mean just because a gang member commits a crime doesn't make it gang-related. police then retroactively applied this new stricter criteria to all homicides in 2013. they compared those numbers to gang-related murders in 2012. which didn't have the stricter criteria revealing a dramatic drop. is it really an accurate picture of what's happening? >> it's not. if you take five or six homicides that have not been classified as gang-related homicides last year they would have been. >> reporter: like the murder of francis. it was a gang-related case because gang members were involved but changed to nongang-related based on the new criteria. of the eight cases that police classified as gang-related d.j. watkins isn't one of them. >> i can't speak for the other families but i can speak for mine. my nephew got killed in a gang area and it's not gang-related. >> reporter: two others were killed the same day as d.j. what kings. place say it wasn't gang related. suspected killers are charged in another case for attempting to murder someone to benefit their gang. robert rio

as being prison gangs. no ester familia is known as nf. or the family. the junior high school to their high school would be the northern structure. >> the northern structure is composed of california hispanics from north of los angeles. >> the nazi low riders, they refer to themselves as the nlr. >> the nazi low riders is a white supremacist gang formed in the '60s. membership can only be achieved by killing someone, and death is the only way out. >> the bgf is the black guerilla family. >> the black guerilla family is the only recognized black prison gang. street gangs like the crips and bloods are merely regarded by prison officials as disruptive groups. but the most notorious gang in the california prison system is called the mexican mafia. >> the mexican mafia is known as m.a., la m.a. they will be recognized by the eme, which is the spanish letter "m." >> the mexican mafia was born in california prisons in the mid 1950s. its members, who swear allegiance for life, are mostly mexican-americans from sout

on the inside he has gang graffiti listed here. known gang members. this is a list of monikers they go by. they have numbers here. we go through and see if we have those listed. do we know who peanut is and bill, things like that. if we don't, we have them identified as who this person is. we can use it later on. >> this inmate, what happens to him? >> what happens to him? it's not a crime to have this information. what we'll do is take it, we let him know we confiscated it. he knows we're on to you. we're looking at you and staying on top of your correspondence. things of that nature. it gives him an opportunity to quell his activities. he knows the heat's on a little bit. also, he'll contact the other guys and say they are looking at me. while he is doing that, we will see who he's corresponding with and shooting the warning to and we can network his group. >> let's go. we're going to have a chitchat. >> they bring him in for a interview about his possible gang affiliation as part of the validation process. >> we did shakedowns in your unit today. t

and sharing the latest gang intel. recently investigators adrian sandoval and drake carpenter began hearing about a renewed battle on the streets between two long-time rivals, the latin kings and the maniac latin disciples. >> what are you? >> maniac. >> it's hot over there. what's your background? >> couple of misdemeanors, resisting arrest. >> fighting with kings? >> what do they call you? >> maniacs have been at war with a lot of other big gangs, cold bros, gangsters, kings. one of the biggest bloodiest wars was with themselves where they were killing each other. >> you're not going to see my face. no shame in my game. salute me or shoot me. >> maniac latin disciples or mlds represent the second largest latino street gang in chicago. founded in the 1960s, they got their start on the city's northwest side and branched out from there. they now claim up to 3,000 members, who must obey strict codes of conduct. above all, no one is to cooperate with law enforcement. but sandoval and carpenter have seen gang members break

realize that gangs is dead. we're not going to let the gds tell us what to do. why should i pay dues? that's like paying protection. i don't need protection. i'm a grown ass man. >> he was a big voice, he was a big threat. he's made a name for himself. he feels he's somewhat of a legend here. it's coming to an end now. but they were strong for a period of time. >> antoine and his crew who have a reputation for violence became known as atg or against the grain. they stirred up turmoil inside the jail but ultimately their rivals outnumbered them. >> they tried to wipe us out. they was like you disrupting the organization unit so therefore kill this bitch. i'm like the osama bin laden, of cook county, that's what i am. for real. that's what it is. i had so many people saying we're going to kill antoine. if you were going to kill me, i'd been dead. i've been here four years, seven months and i ain't dead. i ain't had a fight. all i did was get slashed with a razor a couple times and stabbed. that ain't nothing. if i

a gang. so that means just because a gang member commits a crime doesn't make it gang-related. police then retroactively applied this new stricter criteria to all homicides in 2013. they compared those numbers to gang-related murders in 2012. which didn't have the stricter criteria. revealing a dramatic drop. is it really an accurate picture of what's happening? >> it's not. if you take five or six homicides that have not been classified as gang-related homicides this year, last year they would have been. >> reporter: like the murder of francisco lugo. it was a gang-related case because san jose police say gang members were involved, but it was changed to non gang related based on the new criteria. of the eight cases police classified as gang-related this year, d.j. watkins isn't one of them. >> i can't speak for the other families, i can speak for mine. you're going to tell me my nephew got killed in a gang area, now you're saying it's not gang related? how many other cases have you done tha

>> you have to join a gang. you have no choice. ♪ ♪ 15 to life, doing 15 to life ♪ ♪ 15 to life doing 15 to life ♪ doing 15 to life. that's it. >> in an isolated part of california's central valley is corcoran state prison, one of the state's largest maximum security institutions, housing many of its most violent criminals. now, corcoran first opened in 1988 and was the site of so-called gladiator fights in the 1990s in which inmates fought to the death in concrete yards while guards allegedly looked on. the guards were charged and acquitted of subjecting prisoners to cruel and unusual punishment, but when we first brought our cameras into corcoran in 2000, the prison was still recovering from that scandal. in this hour, we will take you back into the highly charged facility to see whether it has overcome its notorious past. >> my life is in danger. fy stay in there, i'll end up getting stabbed. >> corcoran under extreme pressure, it's a powder keg. a powder keg. >> basically pure hell. it's hell up in

gang, it really did. if it weren't for things like this, these devices, you know, people's teeth would be all green. you know when you see your friend, you smile. and one of the things that's nice is a nice sparkly teeth, right? without one of these things here, everyone would have green, scummy teeth. you know why? because there'd be no such thing as an electric toothbrush. [laughter] yeah. yeah. you see people rather healthy today? people are rather healthy. you know how people would be if they didn't have motors like this? we'd be emaciated, we'd be undernourished because there'd be no electric can openers, there'd be no way to open the cans of food. [laughter] okay? you hear what i'm saying, okay? you see people their clothes how lint-free? if it weren't for devices like this, you'd have no little lint machine to take the lint off. the world would be different without this electric motor. this electric motor adds to the quality of life. will you agree, huh? think about the electric motor every time yo

to get out of a gang inside a prison. and in order to do that, there's a whole debriefing process they have to go through. and it basically entails the inmate coming in and confessing everything's he's done with the gang and sometimes even, you know, throwing some people under the bus and confessing against other people. so it's really a deadly thing for someone to do inside a prison. >> when inmates debrief, they must write a lengthy account of their criminal history both in and out of prison. the review process can take months. but if accepted, the inmates will be allowed to live in the safety of a protective custody unit and be granted many more privileges than they would have had as confirmed gang members. >> because of your march 11th, '99, incident with another inmate that you almost killed, came very close to killing, we have a question about your sincerity about debriefing. >> "lockup" cameras were at california state prison corcoran when thomas spiller, a long-time gang member, went before the inmate review board

that's helium, gang. now, gang, that's helium. in fact, we have up here, we have 1, 2, 3, 4, so it's helium 4 and what am i going to put for the atomic number? - 2. - 2. - helium, big or small? - small. small, very, very small, you put some helium in a balloon, and you're gonna save the balloon for next week when it's little kathy's birthday, huh? and next week comes and where's your helium balloon? is that on the ceiling anymore? it's on the floor. what happened to the helium? it got through the rubber, why? because it's a big humungous atom? no, because it's tiny. it's tiny, honey, here right through the little open spaces, helium, the smallest atom that there is. i'll tell you another atom that's extremely small too, a little bit bigger than helium and that's fluorine. ever hear of the element fluorine? you be having fluorine in your toothpaste, gang, and guess what the fluorine does to your teeth? you know what the hardest part of your body is? the hardest? the enamel of your teeth. and guess what's small enough to get right i

and been gang banging. how long you been gang banging? >> 16 years. >> 16 years? old school. been jumped. you been shot before? >> yes. >> where? >> i got eight bullet holes in my back. >> you got eight bullet holes. take off your shirt and let me see. >> it's right off the border. major rivals. these guys kill each other for years. what happened? >> it's the borderline. they are on this side and we are on this side right here. every time they try to look for some trouble, the only thing you have to do is check. what's wrong. they come. we go. we start shooting each to this they are right there. >> right. and do they do the same thing or -- >> yeah, they been doing the same thing. >> the kings do the same thing? >> yeah. when we interviewed land kings, everybody knows them. and they say he's nuts. he's actually crossed the boulevard by himself and initiated fights with the land kings without any weapons. >> if you're a rival gang member, he knows he ain't got much time left. he's going to take as many people as he can. it's about his neighborhood. he loves 24th. >> what's you

pay attention, gang. let's suppose someone's standing on a planet here and they have a flashlight and they shine a flashlight off to a distant planet over here. and people on this distant planet are gonna have a telescope all lined up here and they're gonna stand right here and they're gonna watch the flashes of light. and let's suppose a person here emits a flash of light every three minutes. this little flash, flash... i got a question for you. if there's no relative motion between the two planets, it's gonna take some time for that first flash to get up here. but under zero gravity here, boom, sees a flash. how long they're gonna have to wait for another one? three. - and the next one? - three. - and the next one? - three. they'll come at regularly spaced intervals, all right? now, let's suppose i have a rocket ship that's traveling at a very, very high speed between the two planets. now, this rocket ship is traveling away from the planet, the source of light. will that rocket ship see the flashes as o

same, same, gang, same, same. so if you're taking a photograph of you and your friends standing in front of a mirror, all right? and you don't have a focus device you can look through, but you have a setting. and let's suppose you're, like, you are three mirror-- three meters in front of the mirror, and you're taking you and the gang, yeah? now, you want to set your setting for three meters or what for your image? check your neighbor. okay, gang. what would be the answer? you stand three meters in front of the mirror, what are you gonna set your setting for the image? where? how many meters? how many say answer begins with a-- [makes noise] how many say answer begins with a-- yehey, that's six, six meter. your image is gonna be six meters away. so your image would be as far behind the mirror as you are in front. makes sense? yeah. now, if you have a curved mirror, different rules, okay? and it turns your image distance will be more complex. we won't cover such thing now, you know why? because it's a little bit mor

and gang members identified. and on and on, if you read these things, you would think, my god, everything that is mentioned in these captain complimentary letters surely they will get an award. and they do, they get captain complimentary letters, and that's what we do. when someone does something over and above, as the case for everyone here. the commanding officer will write that officer up for a consideration for medal of valor. that goes to a three-captain committee that vets many recommendations. some of those move back to captain complimentary letters because they don't make the thre threshold of a letter. and many result in a police commission complementary. and i want to thank the commission, and the mayor, if you think you have a busy schedule, it doesn't compare to his. i assure you. and the police of honor and these awards is not on the way to anything. he came here for you, and he is our mayor. and back to the story. these three captains then will make recommendations and come back and forth and certif

that's right, it's one second, gang. 'cause if it's gonna take one second for something to fall five meters and you toss it out, it's still five meters vertical. it's like this thing over here. if this is five units down, this one comes out, it's still five units down stretched out, huh? so it's gonna take one second. so 25 meters divided by 1 second gis you 25 meters per second. isn't that neat? there's some good physics there, gang. do you like? let me ask you a question. would the ball be in the air for a longer time if there were a hill like this? yes. would the ball be in the air for a longer time if the earth's curvature came into play? yeah. it turns out if he throws that thing really fast, it might go so far out that the curve of the earth is falling away. you see that? in fact, if he keeps throwing faster and faster anfaster, he might throw it off the earth altogether. isaac newton, physics type in 1700, figured it out like this. consider a mountain on the earth that's so high that it's up above air drag and put

that's right, it's one second, gang.

that's it gang. that's called the universal law of gravitation and that law of gravitation was developed by, guess whom? isaac newton. you know what? a lot of people think that isaac newton discovered gravity. he didn't, the cavemen knew about gravity. the cave women knew about gravity. what newton discovered was what? check your neighbor and see if your neighbor be knowing. in other words, did you get a chance to look through the chapter? what did newton discover about gravity? newton discovered that gravity is what, gang? universal, universal, you're right. universal, that gravity extends everywhere. and what this equation tells us? the equation of gravity just tells us that there's an attractive force, 'f' between all things and for any two things that attractive force depends upon, is proportional to, is related to the product of the masses of the two things. this might be a planet, one. this might be another planet, two. those two planets are tugging on each other with the force that depends ver

what's the answer, gang? 12. 12, and that's 12. that's ohm's law, ohm's law. ohm's law just gives us the relationship between current, the voltage and the resistance. kinda neat stuff. now, when i touch this like this, gang, i'm getting current that flows in one direction. goes from here to here or here to here, or i don't forget which is which, okay? but it flows all in one-- we have a name for current that has one directional flow. guest what we call it, gang. direct. direct current, dc. to say you have dc current is to say you have current that flows in one direction. that doesn't mean it has to be steady, steady, steady, it could be pulsed. you go off, on, off, on or something like that. but always one direction through the wire. and then you have the kind of current that lights the lamps in the room here and at home. and the kind of current you have in your home, and what is that? alternating. it alternates back, forth, back, forth. we call the kind of current that alternates back and forth guess what. -

the gang now this. the whole reason for the time lock was to prevent outlaws to kidnap the banker in the middle of the night and force him to open the safe. there's a time lock on there. doesn't matter if you're the owner or the cashier, you can't open the safe until the clock strikes the right time. but the outlaws new this was a lie to buy time, and says, that's a lie, open the safe. and frank james actually starts to go into the vault, and haywood tries to slam the vault on him and there's a scuffle. so all this commotion and resistance is making it very deadly for the men in the street. that's why they lose two men and the other men are getting wounded with shotgun pellets. all things that are happening out there as haywood bought time inside the bank. what the gang didn't know, what frank james didn't know, had he gone bo this vault and tried the handle sheriff was -- handle the safe, it was open. there was $15,000 in that safe. instead they're rummaging around looking for the cash drawer. bob youn
