Aryan Brother Research Paper

“An Aryan brother is without a care/He walks where the weak and heartless won’t dare/And if by chance he should stumble, and lose control/His brothers will be there, to help reach is goal/For a worthy brother, no need is too great/He need not but ask, fulfillment’s his fate/For an Aryan brother, death holds no fear/Vengeance will be his, through his brothers still here.”

The AB was established in 1964 by Irish bikers as a from of protection for white prison inmates in the newly desegregated prisons. The Aryan Brotherhood is the largest, deadliest, prison gang in the United States. 20,000 members inside prisons and out on the streets. Along with their many nicknames they have a pretty simple motto to follow

Their motto explained better blood in and blood out means the only way out is death. With the majority of the AB being a white gang in the 1970’s era said truce to another known gang called the Mexican mafia. Calling true to the Mexican Mafia only meant profit for the AB not for the moral clarity. The AB is extremely deadly organization. Authorities calculated members of the group made up 1% of the prison population they were responsible for 18% of all prison murders a few years back. Authorities are still confused how AB leaders can organize and direct criminal enterprises from solitary confinement. Members from the AB can be easily identified by their tattoos which could be two lightning bolts symbolizing Hitler’s SS, Shamrock with the numbers 666 inside, the initials A.B., and swastikas. This gang is still around today and I hardly believe it’ll ever
