In the freewheeling '70s, La Mesa Penitentiary was a prison unlike any other, a colorful little pueblo on the east side of Tijuana that was home to the worst criminals imaginable—and their entire families. Totally controlled by the inmates, it was a deadly powder keg and a nonstop fiesta. "Locked Up In La Mesa" is the true story of one young man's adventures inside the wildest prison in Mexico.
