Today, there are over 20,00 members in the Aryan Brotherhood in both state and federals prisons
In 2002, 21of the Aryan Brotherhood leaders were charged with the death penalty. The leaders were already facing life in prison but prosecutors thought charging them with the death penalty was the only way to stop the crimes.
A couple years ago, studies suggested that even though the AB was only one tenth of 1% of the inmate poplution, they were responsible for 18% of all the murders in the prison system
The AB gang was not only known for murders, they were known for almost all of the street activities that were going on.
On October 22, 1983, in the most secure prison facility, at the time, were 2 murders. One member of the AB murder a correctional officer with the help of another inmate. A couple hours later there was another murder of a different correctional officer. This murder was carried out by a different member of the AB. When asked why the second murder occured, the member replied by saying, "I didnt want him to have a higher bodycount than me."
In the early 1970's, the AB signed a peace treaty with another race related gang, The Mexican Mafia. This wasnt for purity, it was more for profit than anything else.
