Part 1: Norteño Shot Caller Mario Sanchez Predicts Lil Durk Gets Found Guilty, Too Many Snitches
--------
In this VladTV segment, Mario Sanchez revisits 1997 at New Folsom’s C Yard, where he says he became the Norteño shot caller “by default” after others were removed from the yard. Speaking with Vlad, Sanchez explains how 40 to 50 Norteños operated under his direction, from daily yard security protocols to the politics of holding territory inside prison. He details what it meant to “have a yard,” the role of numbers against South Siders, and how internal informants and a conflict with white inmates pushed him toward leaving that life behind. Sanchez also clarifies that he was never part of a prison gang like NF, saying he has been inactive since 1997. Now living in Los Angeles, he discusses moving differently, staying out of trouble, and handling business after prison.
