23: Terms of non-consorting order

You could also call this:

“Rules about who you can't spend time with and for how long”

A non-consorting order is a special document that tells you who you’re not allowed to hang out with. When someone makes this order, they have to write down some important information. They need to write your name on it, so everyone knows it’s about you. They also need to list the names of the specific gang members you’re not allowed to spend time with. Finally, they have to say how long this rule will last. This helps you understand exactly what you need to do to follow the order.
