Gangs: The Need for Rehabilitation in Prison

Paper Summary:

This paper examines a rehabilitation group for prisoners who belonged to gangs. It covers the following: why the group should exists, the steps to formulate the gang, and the actual process of rehabilitation inside prison .

From the Paper:

"There are six major prison gangs: the Neta, the Aryan Brotherhood, the Black Guerrilla Family, the Mexican Mafia, La Nuestra Familia, and the Texas Syndicate(Parry,1999, p.1-4.). Each group has it's own recognizable signs, origin,
characteristics, propensity for disruptive behavior, and racial makeup. A helper must also recognize rivals and symbols. In culture some actions may be deemed inappropriate and it is the same with gangs (although many people don't even recognize they have offended
someone). A helper's first goal should be to grasp an understanding of the gang culture. To help these individuals you must first know of the background and customs of what they have represented for so many years."
