In this clip, Danny Trejo speaks on how he took money from inmates to protect them from getting raped in prison, noting that despite the fact that people from the outside would call that extortion, it was a matter of protection on the inside that was desperately needed. From there, he reflects on how he was once accused for throwing a rock at guard during a prison riot, leaving him to be facing the death penalty by the age of 24. Eventually, Trejo was spared when nobody else in the prison would cooperate, allowing him to finish the famous tattoo of a woman on his chest prior to his release from prison.
