Resident

A non-Sureno gang member that runs with the South Siders in the California or Federal prison systems. A Resident may have ran solo or associated with Sureno gang members on the streets. Nonetheless, being a Resident does not preclude a homey from becoming a llavero.
"There are a lotta cats that just wanna get in there and roll with the homies. And they don't wanna be a part of nuthin'. They ain't from no neighborhood. They might be in there for meth or crack, bogus credit cards, checks, or whatever. And they just wanna fly under the radar. They're just gonna be considered the Resident South Siders."
