PRI Chapter 29: Formation of the Tactical Squad

Jimmy's suggestion wasn't actually unusual. In some American prisons, there were even cases of letting prisoners act as guards.

The main approach was zero-cost prison management.

But Lind and they weren't taking the same route. They were expanding bases widely with small profits but large volumes.

Due to the system, Lind planned to create a complete system within the prison where everyone could work peacefully.

So after hearing Jimmy's suggestion, a new idea suddenly sprouted in his mind.

That was to divide prisoners into different areas in the future, letting prisoners from different areas serve each other.

For example, letting ordinary prisoners from Block 1 serve VIP prisoners from Block 2, then letting ordinary prisoners from Block 2 serve VIP prisoners from Block 3.

The advantage of doing this was that VIP prisoners from different blocks couldn't use their influence within the prison to threaten ordinary prisoners.

Even if they used money to buy people off, they couldn't profit themselves.

They could even have ordinary prisoners secretly monitor VIP prisoners.

Presumably those guys who were jealous of the rich wouldn't refuse such a proposal.

Of course, Lind currently had no way to implement such sectioned services.

After all, the premise for everything was having sufficient prisoners.

After chatting with Jimmy, the two went to the cafeteria for dinner together.

He originally wanted Jimmy to stay in Val Verde County, but Jimmy said his old man had hired many private detectives.

If discovered, he definitely wouldn't have a good time.

So he planned to hide in the prison until his lover finished filming.

Lind agreed to this idea.

When leaving Jimmy's room, he wondered whether to renovate the prison building's rooms while constructing the guard towers.

Perhaps opening a wealthy hiding service in the future wouldn't be bad?

Let those wealthy people who had offended others hide in the prison, enjoying services while remotely controlling their business empires.

Just like how Donald loved the Mar-a-lago estate, which was itself a high-end private club specifically providing services to politicians and wealthy people.

If Border Prison could be properly operated, it would surely make quite a bit of money.

But how to attract wealthy people was another new problem.

Time quickly passed for a week.

During this week, everything was calm. Because the state Department of Corrections and the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration had appeared at Border Prison one after another, those Mexican drug dealers didn't dare show themselves.

Under Avery's protection, Lind also took the opportunity to find a construction company he had worked with before.

After having Angelina investigate and confirm that the company was not a front for money laundering for gangs, Lind assigned them both the guard tower construction and prison building renovation projects.

Construction began quickly. Since the blueprints were ready and Lind had paid a deposit, the guard tower construction period was shortened to one month.

As for the prison building renovation, it would take three months.

At the same time, people from Federal Prison Industries came to the prison for investigation. After verifying the headphone production line and ACA certification, they gave Border Prison a military headphone order.

After peacefully spending a week, Avery received a mission from the state Department of Corrections and bid farewell to Lind.

The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration also left collectively after freeloading at the prison for a few days.

As government agency personnel, they couldn't stay here indefinitely to protect Border Prison.

The only thing they could do was notify the Border Patrol to pay more attention to Border Prison's safety during normal times and come help when bandits appeared.

Fortunately, Lind hadn't put his hopes on Avery and his team.

After they left, Lind immediately called James and told them to return to the prison.

During this time, James had already contacted his former teammates.

When they heard that James's boss Lind behind the scenes planned to establish a private armed force to go to war with local gangs, they immediately became interested.

Facts proved that these veterans who returned from the battlefield generally missed that simple collective environment.

Especially when life wasn't going well, they all had the urge to draw guns and start shooting.

And this portion of people wasn't small in number.

James selected the best among them, finally choosing 5 Marine veterans and establishing a private security company in Houston.

The company's nominal boss was James, but behind the scenes it was secretly controlled by an offshore company Lind had established in the Cayman Islands.

After handling company affairs, James also purchased a batch of AR-15s and Remington 700 bolt-action rifles as standard equipment.

It wasn't that Lind didn't want to buy better guns, but other weapons were under government control and couldn't be bought without special approval.

Even prisons weren't allowed to purchase submachine guns and fully automatic weapons.

Only those with an FFL (Federal Firearms License) could purchase shotguns, submachine guns, and fully automatic rifles.

To obtain this certificate, Lind needed time.

However, the current weapons and equipment were sufficient for now.

When James brought the tactical squad members to the training ground near the prison, he began introducing them to Lind one by one.

"Pat Kingston, my good friend from the Marines, an excellent breacher."

"Garon Edward, rifleman, responsible for fire support."

"Riley Young, responsible for surveillance and sniper operations."

"Karen Harvey, skilled in battlefield first aid and cover."

"Norman Webb, provides suppressive fire, skilled in demolition."

After introducing everyone, Lind looked at James and asked, "What about you? What are you responsible for?"

"I'm responsible for tactical command." James smiled slightly, actually showing a cheerful feeling of seeing light through the clouds.

"Very good, everyone has their own responsibilities." Lind nodded.

After getting to know everyone, Lind stood before them and said, "Since everyone is willing to join the tactical squad, let me introduce our enemies."

"One of Mexico's largest drug trafficking organizations, the Gulf Cartel..."

The Marine veterans remained motionless, seemingly not caring about this reputation at all.

But Lind could tell from their fluctuating loyalty values that their hearts weren't calm.

So he finished the rest of his words.

"One of the leaders, Osiel's subordinates."

After saying this, he clearly felt everyone's stance become more stable.

This was very realistic.

Lind continued, "These desperados disregard life and have blood of innocents on their hands."

"They're extremely vicious in Mexico, and no one dares provoke them."

"And now, they've set their sights on my prison, wanting to turn this prison into a channel for drug trafficking organizations!"

"They dared to drive to the prison gates today and shoot guards. Tomorrow they'll dare to rush into the prison and cut off all our heads!"

"But this is America, this is Texas!"

"I will never let my descendants be born in marijuana fields!"

"So I won't let my prison become a tool for others' drug trafficking! Even if it costs me everything!"

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!"

"I want you to use your gun barrels, use firepower, to wake up these desperados!"

"Tell them who the true masters of this land are!"

"Can you do it!"

The tactical squad members responded in unison:

"Yes, sir!"
