This is nothing like you ex-or-current officers are putting it. They are not a gang or have rules, blood in & blood out is not there way. They are just standing together as a group and not as prey. You should set down with these guys who was once there doing the same thing these guys are doing. If officers were doing there jobs and not turning there backs to the shit we were doing. Even promoting us to check our homies as they come in on the chain. It was an open floor for white boy's. One day it was the mexican's floors. The next day was the blacks day. It was like this on any farm you went to. I was the speaker for H-TOWN on the unit i was on, and officers would tell us who hit the unit and what time to open the floor.

In the academy, you have a whole section on Security Threat Groups, and believe me...just because the Tangos aren't recognized in TDC as a "gang," doesn't mean they aren't something to look out for. Thankfully, I had excellent instructors who showed us what to look for, and it's becoming more and more of a problem. At the Allred Unit, Tangos were more recognizable than la eme or TS. Why they're not considered a prison gang, I'll never know, but they're definately out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-30431005830587973002008-02-25T01:32:00.000-06:002008-02-25T01:32:00.000-06:00hey one of the founder's of tango lives in houston...hey one of the founder's of tango lives in houstone and his name is lou paiz but he's a bitchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-87010000649846374422007-11-17T20:23:00.000-06:002007-11-17T20:23:00.000-06:00i work for tDCJ and the "tango blast" problem is g...i work for tDCJ and the "tango blast" problem is gtting worse. there was recently a assault on another group of offender by the tangos which showed ow dangrous they really can be.
