As the gang has grown through the years, it became powerful enough to divide up San Antonio into four quarters and demand a 10% tax from all local drug dealers. Despite its propensity for internal violence, the gang has no trouble recruiting new members, even from the other side of the law.</span> </p>

In it he detailed being a former high-ranking member of the <a href="https://gangstersinc.org/profiles/blogs/prison-gangs-the-aryan-brotherhood">Aryan Brotherhood</a>, but kicked things off by speaking about growing up on a reservation in the Sierras with his father, who was half Native American. After moving off of the reservation at just 12, he went on the bull riding circuit and later faced life for an incident that he hopes will soon be exonerated. While in prison, Michael spoke about being recruited by several gangs and joining the Aryan Brotherhood. Michael explained how things were structured, and he also detailed things that he witnessed while in prison, including prison wives. While in Folsom Prison, Michael was locked up with notorious criminal Charles Manson, and he also spoke about a run-in with Joe “Pegleg” Morgan, the first non-Hispanic member of the Mexican Mafia. After some shake-ups within the Aryan Brotherhood, Michael thought about leaving the gang, and Michael then spoke about cooperating with authorities. To hear more, including Michael speaking about getting out of prison in 2020, watch the clip.</p>

Riots have been taking place here almost every year since 2002. Gangs battling for control of the drug business are also fighting it out behind bars. They use every opportunity to eliminate rival gang members. In the past 20 years, more than 100 people have died in riots behind the walls of Urso Branco. A sad record for Brazil. The situation in Urso Branco remains a powder keg, despite the government tightening security in recent years. Sanitary conditions are catastrophic; cells are desperately overcrowded. The guards are heavily armed and always carry loaded weapons. Each rifle's barrel contain special anti-riot ammunition made of rubber. The other cartridges are live ammunition. This is the only way they can keep the situation under control. Even though the guards face the constant risk of attack. To this place, the twenty-eight-year-old Naum is being brought, having been arrested by the police when trying to rob a bar. In Urso Branco he has to wait for the decision from the judge. The decision, if he will stay in jail for the next 15 years or if he will see his family soon again. Naum shares the cell with 19 other inmates – 19 men who are in custody here for robbery, murder, rape and drug trafficking. Inside is cramped and the sanitary facilities are catastrophic. As the new guy, Naum is at the bottom of the pecking order. What's worse is that the situation behind bars can escalate at any time. </span></p></div>The Rise of Brazil’s Biggest Prison Ganghttps://gangstersinc.org/video/the-rise-of-brazil-s-biggest-prison-gang2021-11-28T11:13:44.000Z2021-11-28T11:13:44.000ZGangsters Inc.https://gangstersinc.org/members/GangstersInc<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9857328300?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=400"></div><div><p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string">Meet the most powerful prisoner in the world.
