A new prison gang has formed according to officials at the state Department of Corrections. They say "Los Burquenos" or the Burqe Boys are challenging for control of state prisons and they're using the New Mexico Lobo logo to help identify members. The group is made up of members from different street gangs. Authorities say the gang charges inmates rent and it will likely grow outside of prison into various cities and towns. Prison officials say membership of "Los Burquenos" has increased statewide from 170 last year to now 240 members.
