damian chapa
miklo finds trouble adapting to prison life. the prison is run by three prison gangs, all of whom are based on their racial backgrounds. the "black guerrilla army" (b.g.a.) is led by "bonafide", the "aryan vanguard" is led by "red ryder", and "la onda" is led by montana oseguera. "la onda"s members do not initially accept miklo and one of them, popeye, tries to rape miklo at knife-point, but is stopped by montana (although montana stops popeye not out of concern for miklo, but because he finds popeye's intentions as dishonorable to "la onda"). after meeting montana, he is told the only way into "la onda" is killing an enemy inmate, in miklo's case a white inmate named big al who runs the gambling in san quentin. after gaining big al's trust, miklo stabs him to death during a sexual encounter in the prison kitchen. miklo is initiated into "la onda", is later promoted to its ruling council, and is granted parole after serving nine years in prison.
