Monico Berella: Thief

 Monico Berella was born April 1891 in New Mexico, to Santos Barella & Victoria Barreras.


Inmate: #3987 New Mexico State Prison
Rec: 20 Apr 1917
Crime: Larceny


Looks like he had defied death possible a few times according to this scars, unless he received them all at the same time, but still remarkable to of lived through.



I didn't find any newspaper articles for this crime.


Inmate: #50926 San Quentin Prison
Rec: 8 Oct 1931
Crime: Grand Theft
Term: 10 yrs
Discharged to parole: 8 Jun 1933






He was married to Selsa B Fajardo (1898-1953) and they had several children.

Note The youngest was born 23 Aug 1934, he was received in prison 9 Feb 1934. His poor wife was pregnant and caring for all these kids.


Inmate: #18958 Folsom Prison
Rec: 9 Feb 1934
Crime: Burglary 2nd Degree
Term: 1-15 
The discharged date is late because back then it was all paper work and it took them that long to discharge him after his death.








Monico died while he was at Folsom on 6 Jan 1937 and is buried in the prison cemetery, most likely because the family couldn't afford to bury him, or didn't want to.
