HISTORY OF LA NUESTRA FAMILIA On December 18, 1973, a U.S. Government House report No. 93-738, Pages 80-81, 93rd Congress, First Session, by the Committee on Internal Security, House of Representatives, entitled "Revolutionary Target: The American Penal System" contained the following information: NUESTRA FAMILIA (OUR FAMILY) Nuestra Familia consists of a group of Mexican~- American inmates who are predominantly from the valley areas of California. It was formed in 1968 by a group of Mexican Americans who banded together for protection against the Mexican Mafia. Members of Nuestra Familia have been involved in the narcotics traffic and are presently at war with the Mexican Mafia which resents the encroachment of Nuestra Familia on its narcotics territory. Nuestra Familia has about 200 members within the California prison system. Unlike the Mexican Mafia, Nuestra Familia has no formal connections on the outside. However, it recently formed an alliance with the Black Guerrilla Family and has received assistance from that inmate group in its battle with the Mexican Mafia over drug-related matters.
