Part 1: Mexica Mafia Hitman Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza on Seeing Inmate Raped 1st Day in Juvenile Hall
--------
Ramon “Mundo” Mendoza sits down with Vlad to explain how recruitment into the Mexican Mafia really worked inside California prisons—dispelling myths about being “jumped in” and detailing the sponsorship, voting process, and lifetime commitment behind becoming a made member. Mendoza recalls being accepted on the San Quentin yard, the role of figures like Big Mike and San Diego’s Matt Korean, and how status inside prison gang culture pushed him deeper into violence.
He also discusses his claim that after joining La Eme, he was directly involved in six prison homicides before his 1975 release, describing how repeated violence led to desensitization. The conversation covers prison wars involving Nuestra Familia, the Black Guerrilla Family, and Mendoza’s transfer through Vacaville, Folsom, Soledad, and the California Medical Facility amid the controversial Lister program.
