At what point does someone stop defending themselves and start sowing fear? In this episode we learn about the story of Juan Ángel. Juan Ángel grew up between beatings, abandonment and normalized violence. At 8 years old, he chose to leave with his father, not because he was safer, but because it was less painful than staying. From a very young age, he learned that surviving meant getting harder. The streets, gangs, drugs and anger became their language.

1:25

Before I was 18, I already knew how to protect myself. Then, prison became a revolving door. Going out, committing a crime again, and coming back. This chapter does not seek to justify or romanticize. It speaks of the cycle, of the fear that turns into aggression, of the respect built through terror,

1:45

of the real difficulty there is of breaking with the only thing you have learned throughout your life. We are also going to talk about paternity, about absence, about the hope that comes late and the weight of wanting to change when there are already too many accumulated consequences.

2:02

Today, Juan Ángel faces a una nueva sentencia. Dice que esta vez es distinto, que algo se movió. ¿Es posible frenar cuando toda la vida se ha vivido reaccionando? ¿Qué se necesita para no volver a cruzar esa puerta? En penitencia creemos que escuchar no es justificar, es entender. Ayúdanos a seguir llegando a los What we have to hear is not to justify, it is to understand. Help us to keep reaching the origins of violence, to keep understanding how it is that we have full prisons and a Mexico where, unfortunately,

2:38

stories of insecurity, injustice and violence predominate. Juan Angel, how are you? Very well. Welcome to Penitencia. Good morning. of insecurity, your life story. Yes, that's fine. So if you agree, we can start from the beginning. Yes. Tell me about your life out there, but before, as much as you can remember from when you were younger. Tell me how your life was, who you lived with, how you developed.

3:15

I lived with my parents. At the age of eight, my parents separated. I decided to go live with my dad. And from there, my dad. My dad started working and I started to steal. Nobody told me anything. I was 14 years old when I started at the Children's Tutela Council.

3:37

How did you start stealing? Why did you decide to start stealing?

3:41

It was easy for me. I started to steal things from others. of I was a bad boy. And my dad would come home and hit me. It was daily beatings. Until I decided to leave my house. At 12 or 13 I left my house.

4:15

Before you left your house, tell me a little bit more about how,

4:19

why did you decide to separate from your parents and my mom was taking care of us. When my dad came back they had problems, they fought a lot, fought a lot, fought a lot. So they decided to separate my parents, each one on his own. My other two brothers left with my mom and I decided to stay with my dad. Why did you decide to stay with your dad? Because he was the one who mistreated me the least.

4:46

When my mom mistreated me, and my dad wasn't with us,

4:48

I thought he was the one who would mistreat me the least. What do you mean by mistreatment? How was that dynamic? He would hit me. My mom would hit me.

4:58

I've always been restless.

5:00

I've always been... I've always been restless. I've always given them problems. I've given them problems up to this day.

5:15

Did your brothers hit you too?

5:17

No, not them. I have an older sister, a little under a year older than me. I remember that they didn't. They even bought them things that were better than me. Now they did it to me less. I felt like that.

5:33

I don't know. I felt like... At that time I thought that they didn't love me. That's why I decided to go with my dad. When my mom left him, my dad decided to join a gang that was outside my home.

5:49

Your dad?

5:50

My dad started to drink with them. He started to drink and I would go to him at night to look for him at parties. Then I would find him all drunk. I would bring him home at night, I would take care of him.

6:05

How old were you, 8 or 9?

6:07

I was about 12, I was 12, at the age of 8 or 9. I brought him home from the parties, all beaten up. Everyone would beat me up, everyone would beat me up. I would stand up and my uncles would beat me up. Until I was 13 or 14 years old, I decided to quit.

6:29

Tell me about school. Did you have any contact with school?

6:32

Yes, I went to school, but I never went in. I remember that in sixth grade, I didn't go to school for half a year. Until one day, my dad, by pure chance, asked how we were doing at school. I was in school for half a year, until my dad, by pure chance, asked how we were doing at school. They told him we were already in school for half a year.

6:50

We went to a module that was abandoned, me and my brother, and we started smoking. Why didn't you like going to school? Why did you decide not to go to school? Well, the truth is, since I was a child, I don't know if I had a problem, I don't know. The truth is, I never liked studying. I never liked studying. I liked more being lazy.

7:16

You can say I was lazy and causing problems for my family. Why do you think that is? Looking at it from another perspective.

7:23

Why do you think that Fuis Looking at it from another perspective. Why do you think that Fuisurinho was such a problem?

7:28

Because I didn't pay attention to my parents. I didn't pay attention to them. Instead of calling me, they would beat me. I think that they thought that I was going to be different, but they saw I wasn't worse.

7:47

I have eight years in prison.

7:53

When your father starts working, you start stealing. Tell me a little more about the gang your father belonged to.

7:57

My father belonged to a gang of rockers. I saw how they fought with others. So when I decided to form a gang, at the age of 14, I formed a gang called the ***.

8:11

Ok. How did you come up with that name?

8:14

Well, a colleague of mine, who was hanging out with me, he organized it, but I was the one who moved it. I was one of the ones who arrived and shot them.

8:28

How do you make a gang? How were you forming a gang?

8:32

It's a gang of several comrades, several friends, winning territory and going to fight with other gangs to gain respect, more than anything.

No, I don't remember. I came back home. I came back home and we had problems, but when I came back, my dad couldn't be with me. When he saw me, he couldn't...

11:27

Because I was tired. There came a time when you get tired, you're on drugs, you stay in the Chimeco, naked, without a bath. The beatings, right? From the biggest truck drivers. And I decided to come back to my house again.

11:44

And how was that? Well, I went back. My dad is a bricklayer. He works outside the house. I remember that when I got home he told me what a miracle

11:56

that I was going back home. I remember that I was already high and I was drunk. So I told him that I wanted to rest. That was the only thing I wanted to rest, that was all I wanted to do. He told me to go to bed, but I told him I wasn't going to be arrested.

12:11

He said, we're not going to arrest you, go to bed. I went to bed, and the next day I woke up and they invited me to eat. They invited me to eat, and I decided to stay.

12:23

Why were you afraid of being arrested?

15:37

Do you remember any first moment, a memory you have regarding when your personality started to change to be a very angry child. Something that happened when you were little that you say,

15:52

that's it. There was a chief who was nicknamed the black one. He was about 30 years old, I was about 14 years old. It was an occasion, I liked to hang out with crazy adults. They said, he got out of jail. I want to be like him, so they can be afraid of me.

16:13

Between Cotto and Cotto, they made me say a word I didn't know it was him. And that's how he unleashed his fury. When he saw me, he'd hit me. He'd run at me, he'd hit me, he'd hit me like an adult, like I was a grown up.

16:32

I'd tell my family, my uncles, and one day, I remember my dad would leave me for lunch. I'd cook, I'd go to the market, I'd bring the food. I remember one day he'd come, and I found him on the road and he kicked me, he hit me. So I arrived crying, I arrived crying to his poor house. I had a mirror, I had a turntable, my father and I lived there.

16:54

My grandmother lived in the next corner, my grandmother lived there. My grandmother would always give me a ride because my father would give her food, but she didn't love me. So I remember that day I arrived and I started talking to the mirror. I said it was the last time I touched myself. If I touched myself again, I would really f**k it up. But I was talking to the mirror.

17:18

So I didn't realize that my grandmother was listening. I was going to the market and she was looking at me when I was talking to the mirror. My grandmother said, you crazy bitch, who are you talking to? I wiped my tears, I was crying.

17:33

I wiped my tears and I said, no, to no one. I said, when your father comes, I'll tell him, you crazy bitch. He didn't say anything, he didn't say anything. Then, my father brought some knives. no le dijo nada no le dijo nada entonces de ello mi papá trajo una trajo unos cuchillos pues decidió agarrar el más grandote y me lo escondo fui a buscar al fulano ese

I started to hit them and I started to scare them. But the truth is, it was for that, it wasn't because I wanted to be bad since I was little. The truth is, everyone hit me, my uncles, everyone, until I told everyone off. Until they saw that they couldn't deal with me anymore.

25:51

And why weren't you taken straight to the detention center?

25:53

Because they wanted to... First, when they captured us, the police, they captured us all five. My cause, they said, no, you're an adult, so you stay with us. So I told her I was older.

26:06

No, that wasn't very nice.

26:07

26:54

as you thought. No, it's like 2 or 3 months. You started to earn your place. Yes, I started. Now I have to fight less. I connected with a boss, a godfather, because they call them godfathers.

27:10

And that guy made me fight inside and well, yes, also, it was a headache inside the hotel council. Did you take advantage of something? Did you have activities? Did you go to school? Yes, I went to school, but not a lot. You didn't like it? No, I didn't like it.

Then I took a gun from a municipal police officer. And with that I started to commit crimes. Besides, Pancho had already left the prison They were being beaten up, now they were being shot

28:31

A lot of anger, right? You were very angry

28:33

The truth is yes

28:34

Why do you think that is? Just because of the beatings or is there something else?

28:37

I think it's because of the beatings I didn't stop, I didn't say anything to them, I didn't do anything to them and they beat me up. My uncles would beat me up, even to the point of running to Abata-Vicazos, my uncle, because he said he didn't want to see me there.

28:54

Why? Because I wanted to see my mom. I wanted to see my mom. It would take me half a year without seeing her. Why do you think they didn't want you? Because I had followed my dad and when he was drunk he would go look for my mom and my uncles would fight with him I saw that my dad was there and I grabbed Tabiquez and there they go

29:12

And I imagine that's why I got angry, my grandmother too My grandmothers didn't love me either, nor my grandfathers, no one in my family. Did you hurt your grandmother? No, never My grandmother no, no. His brother, he brought him to my uncle. Why? What did he do to you? He was with my mom. That's why I brought him there.

29:49

I was going to shoot him, and my dad got in and shot me. When he shot me, I turned around and shot him in the legs. But I didn't kill him, I just hit him on the side of the legs. I left the house. And it took me about 2 or 3 years to return to my father.

30:09

A lot of violence, right? A lot of violence. You've been exposed.

30:14

Yes, but... They won because of everything they did to me.

But from there on, I remember him bringing guns, he never brought... On the contrary, whenever I remember, he worked, he always worked.

31:22

You go out, you steal a gun from a cop, and you're dedicated to stealing, I imagine.

31:29

Yes, I'm dedicated to robbing and to go after those who, according to what they said, when they got out, they were going to kill me. When they saw that here, they decided to leave. They saw that I was too violent, so how can you say that I had already stabbed many people here,

31:48

shot others here.

31:53

Did it become easier to f*** people after you f***ed them first?

31:57

I say yes, yes, because I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm not the only one who wants to mess with me. I also do harm to the people who want to hurt me.

32:31

I also do harm to my people.

32:38

How did you end up in prison?

32:40

I was a criminal. I was released of the prison council and I spent about two years on the streets, a criminal. I was arrested by another comrade, my comrades had already been killed.

32:56

I was arrested by him on Father's Day. On Father's Day, we were robbed violently and attempted kidnapping.

33:05

How did they frame the attempted kidnapping?

33:08

Because we pulled that guy and he was carrying half of his body inside the car and the other half was outside the car and we were a few meters away. That's why it was an attempted kidnapping.

33:28

I stole him violently, because we had already robbed him. They were going to take him out of his car, they were going to steal his car.

33:30

No, we brought the car. We saw him walking and he told me, my friend, how do you see that one? I said, well, that one. We intercepted him, I got out and he started to get crazy. He was bigger.

33:48

We robbed him, I got in the car, and when I got in the car, he hung himself from the door. So my friend pulled, pulled, pulled, and I took him a few meters until we crashed into a post. And the police arrived, they stopped us. First they chased us, it was a chase.

34:04

And a few meters later. That's when we went back to the prison.

34:09

In what year was that?

34:10

In 2004.

34:12

And you left in 2004?

34:14

Yes, in 2004. I went out again. I spent about a year. My father came and paid. He paid and took me out. I went out come and pay. He would pay and take me out. I would go out again and again, in 2006, I would go back to the prison.

34:33

My friend was mugged by a cop. As we were running away, we got to a place and ordered a beer. When we came back, the cops were already there. I had a 38 Super. I went back, the state was already there. I had a 38 Super. So I go up to the rooftops and start shooting. Then they start shooting, I jump and escape. I enter a house where they knew me.

34:59

I take out the gun and I shoot. I shoot the houses on the other street. They entered the state house, they entered pointing at me, and they captured me, they took me out hitting me. They took me up again and took me to the state house. And everyone said, no, we were already looking for you.

35:21

And yes, they started taking pictures and then you go back here.

35:26

How do you feel in jail?

35:28

Well, this time I came back I was angry. Why? Because I had already left in 2016. I had already left and they arrested me. Again? Yes, they arrested me. Well, last time in 2016 they, I was captured with a shotgun

35:45

with a shotgun at a drug store. One of the guys from the store puts me there and puts me with the police. The police comes there and captures me. I leave there and in 2016 they take me to... I raised my hand,

36:02

and the officer said it would be easier to raise my hand and I was sentenced to 3 years, 11 months, 29 days for the confession.

36:09

He confessed.

36:10

He confessed and he got me out on bail with 8,000 pesos. So I went out, I spent 20 days on the streets and I went back in.

36:22

I barely got out of there, I got out again and I went back in again. No. I was at the house the other day and I said, I'm going to go out with everything, I'm going to go out with everything. But now they say that someone from there is going to kill me. And that someone from here too. I said, I'm going to go out with everything. And I went out with everything.

36:58

That later they were going to kill me. I escape them, two by two on a motorcycle. I went to a store and they shot me. But I went to the patio and they kept shooting. They hit the store, but they didn't hit me.

37:15

About 15 days later, the police caught me. The intelligence police. The intelligence police was looking for me. In three months I told them I'm going to ruin you in three months

37:31

I'm going to ask you the question that gives you the prison because you think you come back here There is something that gives you the prison I do not know three meals a day this containment Discipline limits this something that givescoholic a la carcel que queres que anhel is no

I thought I would have a little more, but no. A lot of people get confused here. You talk to them nicely, and they think you're stupid.

38:15

That's why I decided to stab some people here too.

38:18

Did you kill them?

38:20

No, I just stabbed them. I stabbed them. I did injure them, but I didn't kill them. I didn't kill them. They wanted to hurt me first.

38:30

So you didn't kill them?

38:31

No. And they took your investigation file?

38:34

No, because they said they didn't want anything to do with me. They put us in jail. They said they didn't take any charges against me.

38:44

What does violence give you? Have you managed to make people afraid of you?

38:51

Isn't that what you wanted?

38:52

Yes. What does it give you? That people are afraid of you?

38:55

What does it add to you?

38:56

That they don't mess with me anymore. They know that if they mess with me, they know what can happen to them. They don't mess with my family. I don't allow them to mess with my family.
