Hiding In Plain Sight: A Discussion of Deputy Gangs with Cerise Castle

Mark your calendar for our next Coalition meeting. We will be hosting noted author Cerise Castle April 29 for a discussion of LASD Gangs, in particular the Cowboys and Rattlesnakes who operate out of the Palmdale and Lancaste stations. Cerise Castle is a Los Angeles-based journalist specializing in arts & culture, civil rights, criminal justice, and human interest stories. She wrote the first history of deputy gangs inside the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. She also created, produced and hosted A Tradition of Violence, a podcast detailing the history and criminal activity of deputy gangs.
