"Prison officials warned residents about the new prison gang that's threatening to spill over into the community.Officials said \"The Burquenos\" is the most dominant gang behind bars.  The group is made up of different members of street gangs who are incarcerated.The Burquenos is not officially recognized as a prison gang, but with what's been happening lately, officials said they will be, very soon.Prison officials said The Burquenos sport distinctive tattoos -- the Zia with a B in the middle, the Albuquerque skyline, the words \"Duke City\" and the Lobos logo.  They said those tattoos are earned when an inmate commits a crime for the gang.Officials said The Burquenos is so prominent within the state prison system that they see gang members return almost every day.Prison officials said there are 240 members of The Burquenos statewide, an increase from 170 members last year.\"Within the last 18 months, their numbers have increased.  Their activity within our prison system has shown to be a little bit more active,\" said Dwayne Santistevan, of the Gang Unit Task Force.Santistevan said the gang was active in terms of drug smuggling and assaults.On Nov. 15, 2011, officials said The Burquenos gang members attacked and nearly killed Michael Guzman, an inmate convicted of rape and murder in 1982, in his cell at a prison facility in Clayton.Prison officials said the gang tries to intimidate guards and other inmates , and destroy as much property as possible.\"The community should be aware that there are certain individuals that decided to live a life of crime that are going to be in their communities,\" Santistevan said.In October 2011, prison officials conducted a statewide lockdown and identified The Burquenos leaders, enforcers and other members.  They are now housed in a higher security facility."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
