In this episode, we interview retired CDCR Sergeant Carlos Borges, who spent the entirety of his 27 year career at the California Institution for Men (CIM). Sergeant Borges is one of the last of his kind, the old guard and old school supervisor who always took care of his staff.
He discusses his childhood memories of the Kevin Cooper escape - that resulted in the massacre of a family in the city of Chino. He also discusses the impact of the murder of fellow correctional officer Manual Gonzalez, a major riot that occurred in 2009, and an incident that led to his resignation and premature retirement.
