He Ran America's Biggest Jail From His Cell, Beat The Feds & Got Deported: "Fox" Landa

Prosecutors called it the biggest jail system in America — and its warden was a Mexican Mafia member locked in a cell inside the Los Angeles County jail system, invisible to everyone except the roughly six thousand Latino prisoners paying into it every week. José Landa-Rodríguez, known as Fox, spent decades building a tax on drugs and commissary candy that ran itself. A federal jury had already acquitted him once. It did not save him from what came next. This is José Landa-Rodríguez — known inside the Mexican Mafia and the California prison system as Fox — a Michoacán-born man who came to Los Angeles at fifteen and never walked free again after 1998. From a federal illegal-reentry sentence, through a failed cartel alliance with La Familia Michoacana called the Project, to Operation Dirty Thirds and the Los Angeles County jail tax he built, this is how one man became prosecutors' public enemy number one — and how a plea deal, not a trial, finally sent him home. Drawn from federal indictments, court records, and trial testimony. This video is a documentary account drawn from federal court records, not an endorsement of gang or cartel activity, and is intended for mature audiences. 🔗 MORE FROM THIS CHANNEL    • American Prison Gangs: Most Dangerous Memb...   If this story made you stop and think — hit the like button.
