Week 5: Interventions to Combat Criminal Organizations\u2014Part II<\/p>\n
Thus far, you have been studying gangs and criminal organizations operating freely in the United States and the legal statutes that address violence perpetrated by them. Thousands are prosecuted, sentenced, and incarcerated based on this legislation.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, confinement to a correctional facility does not prevent gang-related activities from occurring. Prison gangs are often sophisticated, with their own hierarchical structure, communication pathways, and codes of conduct. As such, prison gangs bring with them unique challenges for criminal justice professionals.<\/p>\n
In this second week focused on combating criminal organizations, you discuss some of these challenges while also explaining the difference between street gangs and prison gangs. You then return to analysis of your own community\u2014this time proposing new law enforcement, judicial, and correctional interventions to better address the problem of criminal organizations.<\/p>\n

Discussion: Prison Gangs<\/p>\n
In 2013, members of the Black Guerilla Family (BGF) prison gang were indicted on racketeering charges. The gang infiltrated several detention centers in Maryland and conspired with some corrupt correctional officers to distribute drugs and launder money. A high-ranking member of the gang, Travon White, was captured on a phone call saying, \u201cThis is my jail. You understand that? I\u2019m dead serious. . .. I make every final call in this jail\u201d (U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office, 2013, para. 16). An FBI agent who worked on the case echoed this sentiment, suggesting that the BGF prison gang seemed to be running the detention centers.<\/p>\n
In this Discussion, you examine the differences between prison gangs and street gangs, factors that contribute to the proliferation of prison gangs, and challenges related to combating prison gangs.<\/p>\n
