"This dude had it made, you know. I get there and there's TVs in the fucking cell. Dude has a PlayStation. He's like, yeah, he's like, I run it here. This is like pretty much, you know, our, our, this is our home. This dude had it made. He got arrested for dressing up as like government officials or like military dudes, and they would go like raid dope houses and take their drugs."
Rodriguez described being cellmates with a cartel leader in Tijuana jail who controlled the entire tier through bribery. The cartel boss had TVs, PlayStation, and amenities while facing charges for impersonating military officials to rob drug houses. Guards accepted bribes ranging from $3,000 to $7,000 to move prisoners to better cells, and inmates could order food, marijuana, and even prostitutes for $1,500.
