Biography
Pedro Carrillo was a California prisoner, identified as K-63918, whose participation in the 2011 prison hunger strike was cited against parole. Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. reversed his parole grant on October 31, 2013, characterizing the strike as gang-organized and citing confidential allegations of Mexican Mafia involvement. The decision also records Carrillo’s firm denial of membership or participation and acknowledges that he had not been formally validated as a member. It recognizes his education, vocational training, self-help participation and long period without serious discipline. His underlying second-degree murder conviction concerned his role as the driver in a November 26, 1996 shooting; the report states that he was arrested that night. His initial prison admission and actual release dates remain unverified.
