GANGS TO GRACE 11/1 o�
Outreach/Evangelism model
The very message of Gangs To Grace represents answers and hope for
many who have lived a lifestyle of gangs, drugs, violence, prison etc., it also
represents answers and hope for those who have been co-dependent, or
sacrificed and suffered at the hands of their spouse, son, daughter, mother
or father. Below are nine different modules of how a Gangs To Grace
ministry can benefit your church and community.
Special Note: Straight Witnessin Evan elism
In order to achieve the most success,
every module requires the wearing of Tracts, Flyers and Testimonies
GTG clothing. See catalog.
School and Classroom Presentation Music: Oldies Rap, or Live Band
Using GTG book and curriculum. Music is a very good opportunity to reach out.
Goal: Bonding teacher and student.
Cars, Motorcycle, Bicycle Club Community Clean-up
Creates own identity and allows to blend in the A house, alley, park, or something good
community scene. for the city.
This is the easiest to start.
Prison Ministry Create Your Own
or Greeting team
To be able to visit and minister to the many Ushers, Security,
men and women. They look good and impress.
Our testimonies to give them hope.
Ministry of Bereavement Sponsorship for Adult Youth
_Men and Women Sports Teams
Because of the nature of gang violence GTG
can provide money, food, comfort, prayer and Softball, Baseball, Volleyball,
follow-up. Little League etc.
Are Gang members Repeat Offenders?
If the gang member is a documented gang
member-he is a repeat offender
Documented means prior crimes,contacts and
associations with a particular gang.
Most of the documented gang members that we
file gang charges against have prior felony and
state prison priors.
One significant fact is that most adult gang
violators have been through the Juvenile Justice
System and they have prior juvenile adjudications
(convictions)
Its an easy conclusion to make that the criminal
justice system and in particular the juvenile
justice system have not deterred or rehabilitated
the gang offender.
Why aren't gang members deterred? Why do so
many juvenile gang offenders graduate to adult
gang offenders?
Before I try to answer that I would like to tell you
about a few surveys I did:
I looked at 19 defendants (both minor and adult)
who we charged with Murder from July 2008------
through June 2009. What did I find?
I found that a very high percentage of these
defendants (15 out of 19) had prior felony adult or
juvenile convictions and/or been to state prison or
CYA.
8 out of 19 of these had prior juvenile
adjudications-convictions
Most startling fact I found was that 14 out of 18
were under 21.
Another survey I did
I looked at a random month of this year—I chose
Sept. 2009 and I looked at all of our gang filings.
There were 60 defendants who were charged with
a gang crime or crimes.
Out of these 60 a significant percentage 28%
had prior serious or violent felonies (strikes) on
their record. I compared this percentage to the
non-gang felony filings and found that only about
6 % of non gang felony filings had a prior strike.
Why is there such a strong connection between
serious felonies and gangsters?
Let me list some reasons:
---Our legislature has statutorily recognized that
criminal street gangs have as their primary
activity the commission of over 30 violent and
theft related felonies.
---These gang members are not deterred in their
youthful formative years (10----18) They are not
effectively dealt with in the juvenile justice
system so they are out of custody putting in
work for their gang and not having a chance to be
adequately deterred by a long custodial program
or CYA These remedies don't exist for them
---Remember my survey showed that 8 current
murder defendants went through the juvenile
justice system. This didn't stop them from
murdering someone-did it?
I want to focus on the Juvenile gang offender
because this is where we have to act to potentially
stop the gang offender before he commits a killing
like these defendants did.
Why were the juvenile offenders not deterred?
Many reasons-let me list a few:
--lack of strong family control and supervision
--lack of long structured programs to turn them
away from gangs
--Lack of school control or education---classes,
dress code conduct code.
--These are some factors but what really stands
out clearly is a total lack of viable options to treat
juvenile serious offenders.
Example: a juvenile gang offender committing a
first degree Burglary gets no significant
punishment, no significant custody time over 3-4
months, no CYA, no direct filed against not PC
707(b). So he's not changed, rehabilitated,
deterred or is society protected from him
continuing to commit work for his gang more
Burglary's and thefts-getting a slap on the wrist.
Under W &1790 if a first time felon-his case is
dismissed and sealed after a year.
Another big factor contributing to the gang
offender continuing to commit crimes is the fact
that the State is slowly and surely getting rid of
bed spaces in institutions that could help and also
shortening the time of stay in these institutions.
For example:
In 1996 CYA had population of about 10,000
Now about 1,400. Out of 255,000 juvenile
offenders only about 1 % are supervised through
DJJ. We have 184 kids in DJJ about 10% of state
Pathways 20 beds
Crossroads-only about 80 kids
Camp Owens 100 kids space for only 120
The state has shortened the stay in these places to
average 4 months. Stat wants to shorten the stay-
take away beds with the idea of processing more
kids through but will only take kids who can be
rehabilitated.
Bottom line —we need to deter juvenile offenders
by
---Make serious crimes like I% Burg. And
felonies in furtherance of gans and carjacking
707(b0 offenses to give us more options with teeth
in it
---Make repeat gang offenders elegible for CYA or
some other structured program.
---Allow me to direct file more serious gang
offenders as adults. If they will have no deterrence
or punishment as juveniles at least if I can get
them on felony probation-there will be more
control over them and hopefully, more will change
their ways
---Allow our office the opportunity to educate
juvenile gang offenders in a DA program I will
supervise. Scared straight.
They will hear the difference between juvenile
probation for carjacking for a gang to a possible
lifetime commitment as an adult. I will hammer
them with facts.
---Lets get schools involved more in education on
respect for authority obedience to laws what
happens when you are convicted as an adult.
Dress codes should be enforced. Conduct codes in
school should be enforced. No open lunch period.
Why are there so many gang members or gang
member wanna-be's at BHS for example?
This needs to be changed !
Why do 95% of DJJ have a history of serious and
violent crimes?
Its obvious.
Let's put our efforts and resources in the front
end of the system.
Let's expand the GIST Program-supervision until
age 21 to the outlying areas. Let's expand the
Bridges program helps with transition to adults.
MONITORING GANGS
WHAT I AM GOING TO FOCUS ON IS HOW
OUR OFFICE ATTEPTS TO MONITOR
GANGS.
Monitoring gang members and prosecution go
hand and hand.
A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR GANG
PROSECUTION TEAM:
WE HAVE 7 GANG DAIS INCLUDING
MYSELF PROSECUTING GANG MEMBERS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY CHARGING
THEM WITH A GANG CRIME OR GANG
ENHANCEMENT. PC. 186.22(A) AND
186.22(B)(It)
We have 7 additional da's who prosecute targeted
gang members.
These targeted gang members are shot-callers-the
most dangerous, violent and active gang members.
Our target unit, in particular, monitors gang
members on a daily basis.
How?
1. They check the arrest log daily for the last 24
hours
2. Each da is assigned a specific gang to watch
3. Our target unit sets up wire-taps, co-operates
with the Feds to investigate and monitor
specified gang members.
4. Our target unit sets up security and re-
location for victims and witnesses where
needed.
5. Our unit sets up and engages in probation
and parole sweeps of targeted gangs or gang
members. With, of course the co-operation of
law enforcement.
6. The unit gives witnesses our office, our cell
and police phone numbers to call when they
feel a threat.
7. We on a regular basis, monitor jail phone
calls of in-custody gang defendants.
8. We closely watch for probation and parole
violations.
9. If a targeted gang member is arrested, a
deputy from thew target unit will be assigned
the case from arraignment to conviction.
Vertical prosecution of all crimes, felonies
and Misdemeanors, a gang member commits.
We look to getting them of the streets. They
are easier to monitor that way.
10. We have targeted the violent gangs
primarily in the Bakersfield area-but we have
targeted some gangs in the outlying areas.
11. Between 7-08-----7-09 we have targeted
105 the esc, wsc, country boys, bloods, myfa's,
mona park crips and some others.
12. By our efforts we have been able to get a
very high percentage of the shot-callers we
targeted off the streets-in custody. For
example-89% of esc 80% country boys-
82% of bloods.
13. We have hit approx. 91 % of our targets.
14. The new target list will be 105 targeted
gang members and will include the colonia
and okie bakers.
15. In our gang prosecution when we file a
gang case we immediately request a gang file
on thew deft. And the SO and police have
quickly given us a CD which has all of the
defendants criminal history-in particular
their gang history.
16. What would I recommend to better
monitor gangs:
17. 4% raise to equal the public defender
18. Have law enforcement stationed in the hot
bed areas of gang activity. MLK-Elks
19. Beef up witness re-location and protection
20. Look into injunctions so the public can
enjoy and be safe in public areas
21. Some success stories of target unit:
22. Damien Wooford. A blood shot-caller
kidnapped another gang member for
extortion. Result: Life without parole
23. We had to work with the victim-use
relocation resources but it payed off
24. Stevie Miller: Country Boy Crip shot a
gang member in face and chest. Case had
been dismissed-lack of victim
25. The target unit found the victim, spent
time with the victim, provided security and
now he faces life.
The gang activity in Bakersfield, unfortunately is
pretty much in the open. Much congregation of
gang members are around certain markets, parks
and bars in gang territory. I can give you an
extensive list if you want to observe gang activity-
just contact me.
One example: the scene The elks-Sat. night—a
country Boy comes into the establishment What
happens next?Whatever an east sider decides to
do? Scarry it's the reality of gangs.
