Outside the eyes of the public, violence inside Los Angeles County jails at the hands of the 3000 and 2000 Boys deputy gangs went unchecked. But the efforts of incarcerated people eventually brought down the sheriff himself.  A Tradition of Violence is hosted and executive produced by Cerise Castle. She's an award winning journalist who wrote the first ever history of deputy gangs for Knock LA, available at lasdgangs.com Music by Yelohill and Steelz.
