SNY

Special Needs Yard. California prison yards for inmates deemed no good because of bad paperwork, funny charges, dropping out, snitching, etc. Certain prisons in California are all-SNY (e.g., Mule Creek).
Ex. 1

"The sick part about it is that guy is probably a heavy duty popular guy on the SNY yard...And people wonder why people like me and you can't see ourselves going to some freakin' SNY yard. How can you program with those people? How can you not kill them?"

Resident

A non-Sureño gang member that functions with the Southern Mexicans in the California or Federal prison systems. Although they are not street gang members, Residents can become llaveros in prison.
Ex. 1
“There are a lotta cats that just want to get in there and they roll with the homies. And they really don’t want to be a part of nuthin’. They ain’t from no neighborhood. They might be in there for meth or crack, bogus credit cards or checks or whatever. They just want to fly under the radar. They are just gonna be considered Resident South Siders.”
