Paper Example on Aryan Brotherhood

Introduction

The CDC (California Department of Corrections) and BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) are the origins of the Aryan Brotherhood. In the 1960s, San Quentin in California was home to the Aryan Brotherhood. They were also members of the "Bluebirds", the "Diamond Tooth Gang", or the "Nazi Gang" gangs in the 1950s. Barry Mills, Tyler Davis are the current leaders of the Aryan Brothershood.

They believe in the preservation and improvement of the white races, in secessionism that no foreigner should be over them, that all those who oppress or oppose the whites are sworn enemies. In the rights of whites, in the right of teaching white Aryan cultures and heritage to white children, they believe that the only way to support the whites is to help them. It is also important to ensure that white children are raised well, since they will be the inheritors of the future.

The southwest and pacific regions are where the Aryan Brotherhood is strongest.

Aryan Brotherhood Founder

They are most vulnerable in the northeastern areas, where the African American population is more dominant. According to some reports, the Aryan Brotherhood has begun to grow. There are currently approximately 500 members. They are involved in murder, kidnapping and racketeering as well as drug distribution. Kelly Ray Ellery, the ABT leader, and other members ordered their subordinates to murder a potential member to send a message that gang members should cooperate with law enforcement. This is just one example of how dangerous prison can be for these members.

They also demanded that the man's severed fingers be returned as a trophy. The Black Guerilla Family San Quentin Prison was where the Black Guerilla family was founded in 1966. George Jackson and W. L. Nolen are the founders of this gang. Their mission is to eliminate racism, keep prisoners in dignity and overthrow America's government. They are most strong in San Quentin (CA) and Baltimore (MD). They are the weakest in the Pacific and southwestern regions. They now have over 50,000 members. They are involved in drug trafficking, extortion and other criminal activities while in prison.

The supreme commander "Doc" Holiday proved that he was still capable of serving in the Black Guerilla Family, by killing a random prisoner. This is just one example of how dangerous prison can be. The Illinois Department of Corrections is the originator of The Folk Nation. The Folk Nation is not considered a gang. They are alliances with gangs. Larry Hoover, chairman of Gangster Disciples Nation was the one who created the idea for an alliance and persuaded Chicago's black, white and Latino gangs to join. All of this was done on November 11, 1978.

They adhere to their core beliefs and mission and maintain a code of solidarity. Members promise to put "Folk before Family" and that they will not "let my brother fall to the ground." They are most strong in the Midwest and Southwest, but there are no records of them being weakest elsewhere in the United States. They are constantly recruiting new members on the streets and in prisons. This means that they are extremely dominant and growing stronger. They are often involved in racketeering and murder as well as robbery, assault and illegal firearms use.

The Mexican Mafia was founded in 1957 at Deuel Vocational Institution, Tracy, California. The Mexican Mafia was founded by Luis "Huero Buff" Flores, a member of the Hawaiian Gardens gang. They believed that the prison system should be controlled. Although they are stronger in southern and northern California, they are currently in decline. Extortion (RICO), drug distribution and murder are the most prominent criminal activities of the Mexican Mafia. The Mexican Mafia's 1960 hits in San Quentin, DVI are just two examples of the dangers in the prison system.

Frank "moose", Bazure and Doroteo Betancourt, murdered a correctional officer to prove their existence. MS13 The MS13 gang was founded in Los Angeles between the 1960's & 1980's. It didn't have a single founder, but a group made up of young Salvadorans who broke away from other Hispanic criminal gangs. They believe in self-protection as well as protecting their families. They are strong in Alaska, Arkansas and Florida, Georgia. Illinois, Maryland. Michigan, Nevada. New Jersey. North Carolina. Oklahoma. Rhode Island. Texas.

They are most vulnerable on the East coast. They are not growing or declining because they have been extinct. Their criminal activities include drug smuggling and gun running, people-smuggling hits, theft, drug sales and arson. A recent Texas case shows how dangerous they can be. In it, MS13 (Surenos), a member of the gang raped a 24-year old woman. He then kicked her so hard that he cracked her neck and killed her.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I observed that all of them had similar criminal activities. They all had very different beliefs, but they were all more focused on their own race of people. I noticed that every other gang except the Mexican Mafia is growing in number. MS13, also known as Surenos, is the most powerful and dangerous gang in all of the world. While other prison gangs are increasing in population and threat, MS13 aka Surenos remains the largest organized crime organization in the world.

These prison gangs have much more in common than they believe. Their racial differences are the only thing that really separates them.
