Dude, you're so wrong. LA county jails have organized gangs. Most every major county jail in the state - especially on the southern side - have organized gangs.
wrong... there are gangsters IN jail, but they hold affiliation to their 'street/block/crew'... they are not organized.
in jail, a black from Pico will beef from a dude from Cedar block, a Hispanic from Alvarado will beef with a dude from Western.
a 'shot caller' in jail has 1 year to establish his reign.. 2 years MAX if he gets two consecutive 1 year terms..which is very rare. most of the 'soldiers' know they'll probably either A-get out BEFORE the shot caller, or B-the shot caller will be released before them and there will be no repercussions for stepping out of line.
this is 'prison politics 101'.
in prison, northern Hispanics band together, reguardless of which 'street gang' they belong to, same as southerners, same as the blacks, same as the whites (wiggers are considered race traders, so even if you listen to 'hip hop' on the street, you better act the part while you're inside... wiggers will get very little protection from the blacks, no matter how 'black' they act.. and they'll get zero protection from the whites), most Asians band together reguardless of whether they're blood/crip, Chinese mafia, Japanese, viet, okb, obs, toc, pbk, lao's, Filipinos, ect ect...
the ULTIMATE and ONLY GOAL of the gangs is MONEY. i.e. DEBT. there's very little chance of collecting on DEBT in JAIL, hence a very very small incentive to organize the gangs... in jail, it's mostly every man for himself. a black will fight a white in jail without thinking and nothing will happen (besides them sitting in Ad-Seg for 30days), but a black fighting a white in PRISON is a very different thing and he better have a very good reason... mostly MONEY, rarely disrespect. (although interfering with a mans money/income/hustle IS disrespect... but instead of FIGHTING, you get TAXXED and pay juice.)
in county jail, a guy can go into $15 debt (which is like 1500 in 'street money') and PC up and STAY PC'd up for the remainder of his stay, especially since he knows he's probably getting out instead of going to prison.... in prison, he can't stay PC'd up forever and eventually he'll have to pay the price/tax and guys quickly LEARN to act accordingly.
