California is a place name used by three North American states: in the United States by the state of California, and in Mexico by the states of Baja California and Baja California Sur. Collectively, these three areas constitute the region formerly referred to as Las Californias. The name California is shared by many other places in other parts of the world whose names derive from the original. The name "California" was applied to the territory now known as the state of California by one or more Spanish explorers in the 16th century and was probably a reference to a mythical land described in a popular novel of the time: Las Sergas de Esplandián. Several other origins have been suggested for the word "California", including Spanish, Latin, South Asian, and Aboriginal American origins. All of these are disputed.
California originally referred to the entire region composed of the Baja California peninsula now known as Mexican Baja California and Baja California Sur, and upper mainland now known as the U.S. states of California and parts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and Wyoming. After Mexico's independence from Spain, the upper territory became the Alta California province. In even earlier times, the boundaries of the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean coastlines were only partially explored and California was shown on early maps as an island. The Sea of Cortez is also known as the Gulf of California.

Maximum Security University: A Video Documentary (1997)
This video is of five shooting deaths of inmates at Corcoran Prison in the period from the early 1990s to 1996. The videos are unedited; they depict inmates going to an enclosed Security Housing Unit (SHU) yard where they fight with one another. The guard, who is holding a 9mm gun in a booth overlooking the SHU yard, then shoots and murders one of the fighting inmates.
The inmates are released to the yard after having been searched thoroughly for weapons. They had been chosen from rival gangs before being released to increase the likelihood they would fight with one another. Over the years, hundreds of inmates were involved in setup fights, and 50 were shot and wounded. One was rendered a quadriplegic. Five died.

CORCORAN, Calif. — In California’s San Joaquin Valley, the farming town of Corcoran has a multimillion-dollar problem. It is almost impossible to see, yet so vast it takes NASA scientists using satellite technology to fully grasp. Over the past 14 years, the town has sunk as much as 11.5 feet in some places — enough to swallow the entire first floor of a two-story house and to at times make Corcoran one of the fastest-sinking areas in the country, according to experts with the United States Geological Survey. Subsidence is the technical term for the phenomenon — the slow-motion deflation of land that occurs when large amounts of water are withdrawn from deep underground, causing underlying sediments to fall in on themselves. Each year, Corcoran’s entire 7.47 square miles and its 21,960 residents sink just a little bit, as the soil dips anywhere from a few inches to nearly two feet. No homes, buildings or roads crumble. Subsidence is not so dramatic, but its impact on the town’s topography and residents’ pocketbooks has been significant. And while the most recent satellite data showed that Corcoran has sunk only about four feet in some areas since 2015, a water management agency estimates the city will sink another six to 11 feet over the next 19 years. Already, the casings of drinking-water wells have been crushed. Flood zones have shifted. The town levee had to be rebuilt at a cost of $10 million — residents’ property tax bills increased roughly $200 a year for three years, a steep price in a place where the median income is $40,000. The main reason Corcoran has been subsiding is not nature. It’s agriculture. In Corcoran and other parts of the San Joaquin Valley, the land has gradually but steadily dropped primarily because agricultural companies have for decades pumped underground water to irrigate their crops, according to the U. S. G. S. California Water Science Center. Some parts of the San Joaquin Valley are estimated to have sunk more than four feet in total since 2015. Note: Data shows reported vertical ground displacement between June 13, 2015, and June 1, 2020. Due to gaps in spatial coverage, this map shows the approximate subsidence using the average of reported values within each square grid area. Reported values are not evenly distributed within each square, and each square may have a different number of measurements. When farmers fail to get enough surface water from local rivers or from canals that bring Northern California river water into the San Joaquin Valley, they turn to what is known as groundwater — the water beneath the Earth’s surface that must be pumped out. They have done so for generations.

The narration is taken from reports written by prison administrators after the shootings. As you will see, these Shooting Review reports lie about what occurs in order to "justify" these murders. In fact, all of the shootings were later "justified" by Shooting Review reports that consistently fabricated what actually happened. The media later labeled these events "gladiator fights" that were setup by guards pursuant to an "integrated yard policy" developed in the highest ranks of the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
The videos were obtained by the family of the last inmate shot and killed who sued the shooting officer and other prison officials and obtained the videos in their litigation. The shootings and the integrated yards ended with this litigation that exposed them.
