Gangster Confidential
One of Rene Enriquez's most prominent gang tattoos is called the Black Hand of Death. It's stamped with the word "eme," or the letter 'M' in Spanish. It's a symbol for the Mexican Mafia. Enriquez worked his way to the top of this brutal gang before he had a change of heart.

It's also central to a new American RadioWorks documentary. The documentary follows the life of a man who rose to the top of one of America's most brutal gangs before having a change of heart.
Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer spoke with correspondent Michael Montgomery about the documentary.
