About Daniel B. Vasquez

With over 36 years of career Corrections experience in the State of California, starting my career from a Corrections Officer to higher administrative posts as: Warden San Quentin State Prison, to Warden Soledad State prison, to Director of Corrections of the Santa Clara County Jail system, to Warden of the California City Correctional Center; the largest privately operated prison of Corrections Corporation of America, of Nashville, Tennessee and including nation-wide consulting experience since 1986, I bring unique first-hand experience to contemporary Corrections issues/problems. I have experience in the administration/operations of Level IV and Level's III, II, I from Maximum to Close Custody prisons. At San Quentin State Prison I operated the nations largest Security Housing Unit (SHU) with over 1,750 Maximum Custody prisoners. I have carried out executions and managed the nations largest Death Row located at San Quentin State Prison.

Through out my career I have conducted hundreds of criminal and Gang related investigations and interviews of Gang members and associates. Additionally in all my assignments I have supervised and directed investigative units of Peace Officers in their investigations of criminal activities, internal personnel investigations and intelligence gathering efforts of Gang's, their prison and street activities. This experience has provided me with many years of specialization and the corresponding knowledge of the cultural aspects of Hispanic, White Supremacy, Asian and Black prison and criminal street Gangs' activities; Gang membership characteristics, Gang tenants, their criminal organization strategies and recruiting methods. My expertise includes the classification, analysis, and validation of documentation and information developed by and utilized by Law Enforcement agencies to control and prosecute the street level and prison Gang members. I continue to up-date and enhance my knowledge of the evolution of the Gang's; by continuing to investigate Gang cases, review of Law Enforcement testimony and investigative reports and predicate documents relied upon by Law Enforcement agencies of Gang cases through out California. I continue to learn of the Gang's on-going evolution by personal debriefing of criminal Gang defendant's, court room testimony as an expert Witness and attending contemporary gang training seminars. I continue to serve as a Prison/Street Gang lecturer and assisting communities and schools in understanding the Gang challenges on our youth and assist in developing intervention strategies.
