Employees are told to 'work in the grey', and killings become frequent.  A Tradition of Violence is hosted and executive produced by Cerise Castle. She's an award winning journalist who wrote the first ever history of deputy gangs for Knock LA, available at lasdgangs.com Music by Yelohill and Steelz.
