From West Side Crenshaw Mafia, that's like a California gang that gravitated, you know, to Denver. So, I mean, my section is Bloods. So, I mean, that's what I've been involved in for more than 15 years. Do you remember the first crime you ever committed? It made me feel on top of the world. Like, I could still feel what it felt like the night that I caught my first big case. I caught 12 felonies that night. What do you think was the most violent thing you witnessed there during that first step? Being white and like a black and Mexican gang, it was like, you know, like my section in Denver is Mexican bloods, but I mean, blud is obviously like a black gang, you know. So I had to prove myself that much, that much more, especially in prison. Alick Hackney was just 17 years old when he went to prison for attempted murder.

He spent nearly a decade behind bars, got stabbed in the head, shot on the streets, and lived

as a blood inside Colorado's prison system.

But today, he's a completely different man, sober, successful, and helping others rebuild

their lives.
