Editing Organized crime (section)

==Prison gangs==
Prisons are a natural meeting place for criminals, and for the purposes of protection from other inmates and business prisoners join gangs. These gangs often develop a large influence outside the prison walls through their networks. Most [[prison gangs]] do more than offer simple protection for their members. Most often, prison gangs are responsible for any [[recreational drug use|drug]], [[tobacco]] or [[alcohol]] handling inside correctional facilities. Furthermore, many prison gangs involve themselves in [[prostitution]], [[assault]]s, [[kidnapping]]s and murders. Prison gangs often seek to intimidate the other inmates, pressuring them to relinquish their food and other resources. In addition, prison gangs often exercise a large degree of influence over [[organized crime]] in the "free world", larger than their isolation in prison might lead one to expect.
