What prison is the Texas Syndicate gang?

Texas Syndicate (Ese Te) is a familia (family) that was formed at San Quentin and Folsom Prison during the early 1970's. Its nucleus was made up of inmates from Texas who were incarcerated in the California Department of Corrections (CDC). These inmates often came from the EPT or El Paso Tip, but did not call themselves TS as has been reported in error by some sources. The founder of the TS was Francisco "Panchito" Gonzales currently housed at Pelican Bay State Prison. During the 1970s, the Texas Syndicate was recruiting heavily to build numbers within CDC. While the TS prison gang was small, they were the most feared on the yard because of their propensity for violence and serious assaults.2

The TS grew rapidly in the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) after the Estelle vs. Ruiz lawsuit which dismantled the state's inmate boss trustee system. Between 1980 and 1983, the TS was responsible for 4 homicides and numerous assaults, Between 1984 and 1985, There were 52 gang related killings, many attributed to the Texas Syndicate in their war with the Mexikanemi or Texas Mexican Mafia.9 In 1992, the TS signed a peace treaty with the Mexikanemi which created a split in the organization. The TS went to war with the Raza Unida in 1995, with the Texas Chicano Brotherhood 1998-99, and with the Barrio Azteca 1994-96. In late 1994, the TS declared war with the BA over a homicide that happened in the El Paso County Jail. Inmates from EPT were very close to the TS as stated above, however are now mostly independent or ride with Barrio Aztecas. TS often refer to each other as "Cuernos", this came from Austin-Texas Longhorns as that city was a stronghold for the TS. The gang has been the subject of several RICO cases and they have a large presence in the BOP.

But to answer your question, Texas Syndicate is not in just one prison, one city prison, one state prison, or even in just one federal prison. They are in multiple units in different states and federal prisons.

What level prison do you go to for 2 counts of vehicular homicide with a DUI and fleeing the scene?

The courts do not decide what level of security you are incarcerated under when you are sentenced to prison. The courts prescribe a certain amount of time and the prisoner is remanded to prison to serve that time. The security level or the level of the facility is determined by the Department of Corrections of your state. This usually depends on the crime that you've been convicted of, and, most importantly, how much time you have left to serve. Your mental and physical health may also have an impact on what level of security you will be assigned to.

Who founded Alcatraz prison?

The island received its name in 1775 when Spanish explorer Juan Manuel de Ayala charted the San Francisco Bay, and named this tiny speck of land La Isla de los Alcatraces, which translated to "Island of the Pelicans." The small uninhabited island had little to offer, with its swift currents, minimal vegetation, and barren ground.

Seventy-two years later in 1847, the U.S. Army took notice of "The Rock" and of its strategic value as a military fortification. Topographical engineers began conducting geological surveys, and by 1853, U.S. Army Engineers had started constructing a military fortress on the island, along with the Pacific Coast's first operating lighthouse.
