The standard Mexican Mafia tax on illicit proceeds in prison or on the street.
Ex. 1
Prosecutor: Are you familiar with the concept of thirds?
Boxer: Yes, thirds.
Prosecutor: What's that?
Boxer: Thirds is the standard tax on anybody, particularly for individuals coming into a prison setting. Anybody coming in with drugs or any illegal material, any contraband, they're required to give us a third, the Mexican Mafia members a third.

Boxer: I got an assignment for you. There's a trap house in Boyle Heights run by a dude named Nico. He's bragging about being tax free. It's on Matthews across the street from the high school--
Savage: --Isn't that the school where Jaimie Escalante taught calculus to all them cholos and jainas?
Boxer: Uh huh. And like Mr. Escalante, you're gonna teach Nico some math. Specifically, how the concept of thirds works. Make sure he knows that La Cliqua sends its regards.

Ex. 1
"Koko decided one day to lock up. He was a Llavero, he ran the yard...When you lock up, they want you to give 'em something. They don't care what it is. Something no one else knows. He decided to give up all the fieros, the weapons on the yard. He left all the Southerners empty handed."
