Prison Gangs – California

HOME > Prison Gangs

Prison Gangs in California’s prison system

California leads the country in prison gangs with a history that goes back to the 1950s, but today there are prison gangs in most large states including Texas, New York, Illinois and Florida. The FOUR major prison gangs operating in the correctional institutions in California are the Mexican Mafia, Nuestra Familia, Black Guerilla Family and Aryan Brotherhood. A majority of the prison politics in a California prison are governed by one of these four groups, and they are all divided by race/ethnicity.

The above mentioned groups have membership from across the State of California, with the Mexican Mafia drawing most of its membership from Southern California and Nuestra Familia drawing most of its membership from Northern California.

During the 1980s incarcerated Blood and Crips members formed their own exclusive fraternity, forming Blood Line (BL) and United Blood Nation (UBN) for the Bloods, and Blue Notes and Consolidated Crip Organization for the Crips (CCO).

  1. Gaithersburg Police Training School

    By definition, prison gangs are made up of people that make prison their home and are good friends of the inmates but wage attacks on the prison staff. Here in Montgomery County, Maryland at the Rockville detention facility off of Seven Locks Road, three inmates attacked a guard and were placed in lockdown for 96 hours which is equal to 4 days. They were charged with assault on a guard and given additional time. This is how dangerous our area is let alone out west or down south where latino gangs and some Mexican gangs wage war on American law enforcement just like the biker gangs do in Laredo and Houston, Texas and in Tempe, Arizona.

    Aryan Brotherhood are excellent role models for any boys heading for a long hard stretch.
    If I was in an American prison the AB would be the group I would be looking to join.
    As far as I know k-ingg a Black prisoner would earn me membership.
    The Shamrock Tat would look well on me.
    I would be proud to earn the right to wear it.

  26. from RSA

    The biggest prison gang in SA is the numbers gang – consisting of 3 factions, the 26’s, 27’s and 28’s…they do some crazy ish – inside and outside. I seriously doubt ya’ll yankees could survive 2 weeks in a South African prison without being raped.

    @Bumper you seem to be the only person on here to have a little sense. fing idiots who drop-out of one gang only to join anothet. Having been validated since 1998 I have watched many of my comrades & homeboys take that shameful walk off the tier. I have also seen a few come back once again only now validated as 25 or DOS. Who the f are they going to debrief on this time? Better yet where the f is CDC gonna house them? I myself could never and would never take that walk. f you very much ill take my single cell peace of mind over that fing drama on the yard any day.

  34. bumper

    @44 howdy comrade, I got sense after many years in prison,it’s not wasted years because it shapes you of who you are today, only if you can turn your life around being a solliver for the devil is a wicked world…I never took the walk of shame and never reneged on my hardscrabble convict code…good graces are the right way to leave the life of crime and punishment and gangs..@Dax Herrera paticipation in the politics of what you had to do will get you respect in that world.I stabbed many and done plenty but it dont win you know respect in the free world my friend I know by experience, you can be a Shotcaller in prison like I was in 10 prison I was in out of the 13 prisons I was in out of 20 years incarcerated it didn’t win me anything in the free world where I work now for a non profit organization called Gang Awareness and Prevention were we work with troubled Youth get on the high road like I did and help kids or ex-felons change there lives.Best reward ever after living that life peaceout Bumper…

    WBAL in Baltimore, Maryland News May 2, 2016 2:41 P.M.:

    “Spring is here and so are the crazies”, according to local Police and FBI and that Seattle Police say officers reported being struck by sticks and batons by some anti-capitalist demonstrators at a May Day protest Sunday in Seattle and that according to reporters “mayhem is expected to rise with the thermometer” and that out of towners are expected to wage war on the locals with plenty of looting and rioting and shoplifters stabbing security guards with screwdrivers as they get away with the loot, according to recent reports.

    Anyway, dozens of black-clad people gathered at Westlake Park in downtown following a peaceful, permitted march earlier in the day by advocates for workers and immigrants and after while, things took a turn and that the anti-capitalist demonstrators, who did not have a permit from city officials, carried signs, including one that said “We Are Ungovernable And We Are Anarchists” and another saying “Hope Law Enforcement Have A Long Hot Spring And Summer” and the groups gathered at the downtown park before starting to march through the streets looking to start stuff and make a scene.

    Some downtown businesses had earlier boarded up storefronts, anticipating violence and a shoplifter stabbed a store manager with a knife after stealing some items from a local department store and that Seattle Police reported seeing people with poles with bolts, rocks and cans of spray paint in the crowd and as they tried to arrest some of them, two of them has their tasers removed from their wastes and the tasers were used on them along with their property taken out of their pockets. Also, Police said there was some property damage, including broken window at a residential building during a course of an elderly woman being stabbed and money taken out of her pocketbook along with several cars being shot up and set on fire and guns and packs of matches have been stolen from places to use in violence, according to Police and FBI reports.
