	Prison gang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prison gang members and associates who are released are usually expected to further the gang's activities after their release, and may face danger if they refuse and are returned to prison, such as on a parole violation.
		Prison gangs can also be responsible for laundering money from outside gangs, usually the free world branches of the same gangs "on the inside".
		Prison rape is also consciously ignored by guards and authorities for this same functionality.

	Gang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some commentators use "gang" to refer to small, informal, and disorganized "street gangs", while "syndicate" or "organized crime" are used to refer to larger, more powerful organizations, such as the Italian-American Mafia, which may control entire legitimate businesses as "fronts" for their illegal operations.
		Gangs often spread by a parent or family moving out of the gang neighborhood, and the children taking the gang culture and lore with them to a new area and recruiting new members for their old gang.
		Gang warfare is commonly held over turf boundary disputes, the takeover of an area in order to bring in narcotics to push on the streets, personal rivalries, or simply the fact that the opposing group is different in some way.

	The Prison Gang Threat
		Prison gangs have contributed to other problems in prison and the gang “menace” has been used to justify the implementation of extraordinary security procedures and the imposition of especially harsh punishment on suspected members.
		Gang members in prison have done what many people do when they feel personally powerless, threatened, and vulnerable: they align themselves with others, organize to fight back, and enhance their own status and control through their connection to a more powerful group.
		Paradoxically, prison gangs may have deadly consequences for prisoners who join in order to survive the dangers and deprivations that surround them and, in any event, often result in a worsened rather than improved quality of prison life.

	ERRI SPECIAL REPORT: HOW STREET GANGS CONTROL PRISONS
