Prison gang

A prison gang is an organized group that operates within correctional facilities, often engaging in illicit activities such as drug trafficking, extortion, or violence. These gangs typically have hierarchical structures, shared identities, and codes of conduct, enabling members to collaborate and exert influence both inside and outside the prison system. They may serve as a way for inmates to find protection, assert power, or pursue criminal pursuits, making them a concern for prison security and public safety.
