Welcome to the board Big_J_86. The A.B nowadays seem to allow a few Jews but not many depending on location. It's quite odd indeed that a Jew would even want to be a member. Also I can't recall where I read it, there was even a Native was a member somewhere. AB is mainly focus on monetary gains.

when the aryan brotherhood first started it was so that caucasion inmates could stick together during a time when there was alot of racial problems both in prison and on the streets. I dont think that the people that originally formed it were really into white supremacism they just wanted a fearsome image and also they probably had generally racist attitudes. They do recruit from neo nazi gangs just because those are one of the groups of white people including bikers that will end up in prison with them.

Speaking hypothetical it depends on where you live, loyalty, and money. As long as your white period. I say location because then it may not be any AB in that pen.

The AB in California state prisons is quite different from the AB in federal prisons. The Cali AB is more often tied up in racial beefs though not as much as in it's earlier days because it's bad for business, and they often rely on the southern Mexicans for their heroin. The federal Aryan Brotherhood is a lot less involved in racial issues, they'r main concern above all is making money. This is according to John Greschner an AB turncoat

When I was in prison, I met a Russian guy who was deported from US to Latvia and was here awaiting trial on his charge. There in prison he was in the Aryan Brotherhood. He said the AB there is really respected, showed off his tattoos to me. Told me a lot of stuff, like the Gotti thing and Russian in America.

That is also interesting. Yes I know that when Gotti was assaulted by a Black inmate he went to the AB to help him get revenge. It never went through though apparently. Which prison was the Russian guy in when he was in the US do you know?

That is quite interesting and actually makes sense.

Most join in prison to have protection. Prison inmates are all divided by race, on thier own accord. Some of the White inmates who join the Aryan Nation have no true ideological feelings on the group, but will go along while locked up. As soon as they are out they forget about it. Others get totally caught up in it and turn it into a lifestyle. It is more of a Southwest American gang then elsewhere in The United States. New York State prisons have almost no members of Aryan Brotherhood, not openly.

I know he was in a maximum security prison and he was from Boston, which one specifically he did time in didn't tell.

He told that Gotti was paying to the AB for protection while he was in prison, but then other CosaNostra prisoners convinced him to stop paying. So he stopped paying, and the AB in that prison got a black guy to beat Gotti up. To show how much they can humiliate him, with not sending a white guy to deal with him, but a black guy instead.

He told a lot about the ideology about the AB in prison, and for a surprise, he stated that he doesn't hate all blacks. But just the ones that are in the prison there from the opposing groups. As he described there's two groups of black people, the normal ones and the "apes".

For sure. Another AB dropout on one of the documentaries named Casper said the Aryan Brotherhood in the California state system is more like the Heroin Brotherhood these days

Yes you will be able to join the AB if you have loyalty and of course pass the blood in blood out requirements.

There are many AB members with partial ancestry, some are part jewish, native american, hispanic, mediteraen.... and bingham has a tattoo of the star of david on his arm. I know many of the original members were irish bikers from northern california, but its a huge thing now.... here in MA most of them get shamrock tattoo's under there eyes or between there thumb and index finger( only the AB can sport shamrock tattoos fro the most part). Dont think the california AB and federal AB reconize other state AB factions as being authentic. the aryan brotherhood of texas is a totally seperate orginazation as well. And yes the Cali AB and FED AB, both get thier herion and cociane from the mexican mafia there allies in prison and the drug trade.

And to answer your questions, if you get locked up and are white you do not have to jion a skinhead gang or any gang for that matter( some find it easier) just have to link up with a few guys, youll probally stick to your own race but dont have to be a member. depends what type of person you are there probally be people in thier you know form the streets.

and if your eager to jion all you have to be is a seasoned criminal with partial white/caucasian heritage, willing to make money and commit violence, and have other white guys backs.

Well given the fact that I am 25% Italian, 25% Finnish and 50% Irish/British Isles by known ancestry I would obviously be able to join the AB right?
