chicago county's cook county jail, home to 10,000 detainees. and all is ready to break lose. the gangster disciples, the bind outside the jail is headed towards civil war. >> stand by. it's insecurity, right? >> investigator drake carpenter and adrian sandoval are about to launch a search with officers.

it's one of many tactical measures they take on a regular basis. >> it sounds like there are guys in the day room. >> to make sure that a jailhouse war never erupts. >> you want us to go in first? you guys go straight to 16? >> i'm ready. are you guys ready? >> a lot. >> you ready? let's get it. >> get on the bar, right now. get on the bar. let's go. >> you ever worked with the police before or no?

get it..ou ready? >> get on the5 bars, right now let's go. >> on the bars, on the bars. >> get on these [ bleep ] bars. get off that [ bleep ] phone and the bars. >> face >> right behind you. >> this ain't no tough business. you hang up when i tell you to hang up and do what you're told. you follow orders. i'm what you're looking for. put your hands bind your back. it is what it is.tx >> carpenter and sandoval part of the criminal intelligence unit, or ciu, have participated

in thousands of tier searches to date. >> give me 19. unlock 19. step out, hands on your head, m friend. step over, one time, two times coming out. >> you guys got anything on you? you got one chance at amnesty, man. this is it. >> now with seven investigators, they're searching 38 inmates and their cellsshank the gangster disciples and other groups are up to. >> pop 1-3, pop 1-3. >> we did go to the cells on which we had the information on. we didn't find any metal up here. there was a lot of flushing going on when we hit the tier. so i'm pretty positive there was definitely contraband on the tier. but by the time we get through both the gates, secure the day room and get to the cells we're

looking for, it gives them a minute, a minute and a half head start. it's safer for them to get rid of it than to get caught with it. they know that's what is coming when they see us. but carpenter have found something equally important, kites. >> this is the inmates' way of communication. it's called a kite. it would normally be rolled up in a fashion, maybe this small. on the back it says division 1. nickname chaos. this is supposed to be the person who gets the kite in the end. but it may go through four or five different inmates until it reaches him. what it is the count for their gang on this tier. their nicknames, and their court dates. the reason why that is important because if you ever want to plot ahead or if you think you're going to be attacked, you like to know who is going to be in court with you, see who is going to be in the bull pen, see who has the numbers. and then it goes further to actually put that they have one shank, they're calling a banger,

within on the tier. you would be surprised how many kites actually go out there. is thousands going out, i would assume every day honestly through court, through medical movement. i mean every avenue you could possibly think of. >> kite traffic is like the information superhighway for inmates. and it's almost impossible to stop. so carpenter and sandoval have turned it to their own advantage. seizing the right kite can help war before it happens. >> these guys keep track of their infantry, their weapons, and they're able to plan attacks. of anybody trying to take rank, we find out right away. certain gangs have certain openings. and this one we see we already know who it is. it says greetings, family, i

come with a vision. i leave as i come, in the vision of our great leader. that's the gds. >> that's not about them worrying about us catching it, it's about it getting to the person that they want it. to that's more important than the kite getting caught for them. >> as summer begin,l discover a threat developing on the compound. they seize numerous kites pointing to a civil war within the top ranks of the gangster disciples, chicago's largest criminal organization both inside the jail and on the street. >> there are two guys who belief they're in charge. they're housed in opposite buildings, but they have followings in each other's buildings. we have identified everybody. we is have a equal number of upper echelon. >> between the two competing factions, investigator have identified 26 senior to mid level gangster disciples of key interest. they're the ones allegedly

sending and dispersing the one faction is housed in maximum security division 9. they represent the current leadership in charge of all gangster disciples throughout the jail. ?the opposing faction is basedn maximum security division 1. they held all the power in the past, and nothit back again. >> basically what you have is an >> carpenterer and sandoval want including this man, inmates whom we're calling franklin to hide his identity. he's on the side of the gangster disciples plotting a takeover. he and his cohorts claim that the acting leader has only agai misleading the guys against the organization entirely.

he preaches his message, the message of gd and his[+ now his credibility is not what it once was. the jail is closing in on him. you know, we outnumber the gds nine to one. the odds are on our side. >> franklin insists that his loyalty to his crew comes first. but he's also got other motives. he is fighting a drug conspiracy case, and hopes to curry favor with the state's attorney. so he has agreed to keep carpenter and sandoval in the loop about the power struggle. he is one of many informants they have on both sides of the conflict who are helping them to intercept kites. >> there has been a lot of kites going back and forth between the two groups. this is one particular kite from division 9. >> it's an official memo. this is equivalent to what i say is a third guy in charge. then he is saying take care of this business. he clearly state the people he

wants hit, saying they're being charged with disrupting organization unity. they ought to be blasted on-site, asap. and this is now the game. >> with information like this in hand, carpenter and sandoval are alerting jail officials. they're also warning multiple inmates who arunder threat based on the kites they're receiving. among those >> jail is a very small place. and sooner or later we're going to come face-to-face. we're not initiating the violence, we're not even looking for it. but we're not going to let them hurt us. >> all that being said, you know what is coming next. would you like to check in to protective custody for your safety in regards to violence being carried out against you? >> you're [ bleep ] me?

>> protective custody means that hurts your feeling, i need protection from somebody else outside of my gang. on top of it, they have to wear this yellow jumpsuit, the big bird suit. you ran to pc, you're a coward. now you become an enemy of your own gang. >> it's what we got to do. >> i'm trying to come up wit an answer, man. just give me a minute.no at? how do i do that? >> whether he wants to enter protective custody or not, he has to go on record with his franklin is signing a statement of refusal. >> name and number, signature. >> all right. >> and what do you want me to say here? where do the comments go? >> there i no comment section. you're not reviewing a movie. >> what happens is a lot of times we also confront the

aggressors, and we let them know we are aware they're callinglle take a hit for it. >> we're not here to choose sides. we're going to hit both sides. we got mule guys in both buildings feeding us information. they're never going to figure that out, who said what and who did what. they're not going to know. >> by squeeng sources, authorities are preparing their next move. a sweeping crackdown on the gangster disciples both inside the jail and on the streets. >> the operation we we're going to disrupt the heads and take them out of play inside the institution. >> the message being sent. it's going to affe compound and. despite their numbers, we're still the biggest group here. els more expensive? i get to touch these guys? oooh, ooh la la. i'm feeling their muscles.

there's a civil war brewing in two opposing factions of the gangster disciples are fighting for control of the organization. investigators dr them before the conflict turns violent. they've identified 26 senior members of the gangster disciples either in power or trying to take over. >> a lot of times until one person from the street comes in that's heavy enough that says, hey, listen, this is what it is and both sides agree, then there's going to be violence and people here can lose their lives. >> county is already a pressure oker of rival gangs from all parts of the city living under one roof.

>> what time do you have, man? 37, abe, 37, indiana, burn street. >> you got the ambrose, you got the i. >> gang members make up more than 70% of the compound's 10,000 inmates at any given time. most detainees here are being held for trial as they've been charged but not convicted of crimes. it's up to corrections staffs and the criminal intelligence unit, or ciu, to try to keep a >> controlled chaos. all the way from receiving from receiving to the max buildings. you have 40, 50 guys on one tier that are killing each other out on the streets, you can't just get over stuff like that. >> you know somebody tried to pull a fast one, you know what i'm saying, a slick one on me.

try to bust me in the head with a tray. he got me. he got me, but i got him good. yeah. i stabbed him. he knows what's up, breed killer. >> sandoval and carpenter are bracing themselves for a long, tense summer. not only are they keeping a cl disciples and their feud but also on other groups that present a high threat of today they're meeting with one of county's most notorious detainees. and he's made powerful enemies throughout the compound. this inmate, named antoine is facing trial for murder and claims he's innocent. he recently survived an attempt on his life by the gangster disciples. antoine himself had belonged to the gangster disciples until he broke off to form a renegade group behind bars.

>> they star tier, 40s, anybody, we're on our own, we just stick up for each other and that's it. from there they went to other tiers. it was almost like a cancer was spreading. >> you just got a group of individuals that don't want to participate in the gds. our mission was this, to get the people that's in the gang to take them out the gang and get them to realize that gangs is dead. we're not going to let t gds come and tell us look, this is what you're going to do. why should i pay dues? that's like paying protection. i don't need protection. om a big ass man. >> he's a big voice. he's a big threat. he's made a name for himself. his reign is coming to an end now, they were pretty strong for a time. violence becameis crew who have

known as atg, or against the grain. they stirred up turmoil inside the jail but ultimately their rivals outnumbered them. >> they tried to wipe us out. when the gds were saying what my mission is, he disrupting the organization unity. so therefore kill this bitch. i'm like the osama bin laden of cook county, that's what i am, for real. that's what it is. i have so many people saying are we going to kill antoine. if you were going to kill me, i would have been dead. months, and i ain't dead. i ain't had a fight. all i did was get slashed with a razor a couple times and stabbed. that ain't nothing. if i have the knife in my hand, they're in trouble, for real. >> he got attacked, eight or ten guys tried to jump on him. they didn't do a lot of damage, so now it's like a badge of honor for him. so he is kind of feeling himself a little bit more right now. >> they ain't going to fight me one on one so they going to play with the knive

move me out of this county, man, because somebody is going to get hurt, man. somebody's going to end up dead. >> we're working on it. >> antoine's lobbying to move to another jail outside of cook county where we he won't be a high profile target, and he will have more freedom. since the latest attempt on his life, heeeo a supermax tier. >> he is house aid lone. he is out in the day room alone. he showers alone. he goes to court under special escort. any movement he has is going to be handcuffed, shacks at all times. it's just a threat lead level we need to adhere to for his own protection. >> if i could put you on the moon right now, that's where your ass would go. e. >> bottom line it's still our p job to make sure he finishes his case, that the sentence is conducted and t hthe state or h. so the entire time he is like our baby right now. so if you act up, we still got to look out for you.

>> but sandoval and carpenter haven't heard the last from antoine or his followers. before the summer is over, antoine and his crew will prove they're still a force to be reckoned with and they'll add fuel to the fire of a civil war that's dividing the gangster disciples. >> people are smelling the blood in the water right now. >> it's inevitable there is going to be some kind of going to be some kind of retaliation. i'm done! [ chuckles ] [ female announcer ] swiffer's wet mopping cloths going to be some kind of retaliation. i'm done!

they might think that we're scared. if they think that, that's the worst mistake they could ever make. when you don't respect nothing else, you definitely respect violence. >> investigators drake carpenter and adrian sandoval are facing a civil war inside chicago's cook county jail. the top ranks of the county's biggest gang have split into two

factions competing for power. this inmate, who we're calling > franklin, is tied to the faction that's trying to retake control of the whole organization. >> has it gone just too far to compromise period? >> for their to go their way, yeah, because they did a lot of slandering. >> with the help of informants like franklin, franklin and sandoval have identified 26 key players in the power struggle. >> who from division nine are we looking at moving? van bolden you want gone, correct? >> correct. >> now they want to take all of those conspirators out of the equation. >> looking at jags, spider, hightower, middleman. >> and make them irrelevant. >> that's basically the lineup for 9, correct? >> correct. >> what about 1? >> that's the goal of a coordinated sweep they're naming hostile takeover. >> it's going to be all these

guys, all within the same day before they know what happens. >> carpenter has a list. he'll go through it briefly to let you know who we're anticipating on moving where. >> their strategy is two-pronged in the jail. first, disrupt the gangster :s desizes' lines of communication by transferring their top members to different buildings and different tiers. second, put them under close surveillance as they rebuild their communication channels from the ground up. >> the bottom line is they don't have that many avenues to communicate -- kites, the phone, the mail, and visitors. we're going to be up on all those avenues. >> what we're trying to do is gather the information pro actively. the objective is to stop the violence. >> finally, a third phase will take place on the street. the sheriff's police will saturate the gangster disciples

neighborhood, hitting them where it hurts most, their pockets. >> you drive away all the business and they're not going to make any money selling drugs. it will push people inside and it will shut down their street markets. we're going to effect a whole group of individuals who are affiliated with the gangster disciples. >> they're going to hear about it on the street. as soon as they start getting popped in here,veryone on the street is going to know. >> they're going to know. >> but there's no guarantee the operation will work. it could make tensions inside the jail worse and provoke retaliation against police out on the street. taking on the gangster disciples is dangerous business. there's been no greater menace to more chicago communities for the past 30 years.

>> i kill that [ bleep ] right there, i kill that old man. you know what i'm saying? take that, bitch. >> at their height during the 1980s and 1990s, the gangster disciples built a highly structured drug campaign. thanks to the rise of powder and crack cocaine. >> my real name. >> but as chicago police and the feds clamped down on them, their ranks splintered, and they spread from the inner city to the outlying suburbs. >> the gds, because they're one of the largest street gangs, we see them more frequently. a lot of times they won't even say that they're affiliated with a gang. it's up to us to try and learn who these guys are. it's not like it was in the '80s or in the '90s. it's very loose and very fluid and that's how you have that much internal conflict inside the gang. it was never like that before.

>> what today's gds lack in unity they make up for in numbers. police estimate that 30,000 members live throughout the chicago area. they claim up to 3,000 city blocks as gang turf and they've expanded into more than 30 suburbs. their most recognizable symbol, a six-pointed star, honors their co-founder king david barksdale and the sheriff's police are seeing it in more and more places. >> why did you run, man? >> i just don't like being around police. >> you a gd? >> no, sir. >> you have six-point star earrings in your ear. >> i know. >> that's the star of david, right? >> tell me why you are wearing those earrings right now. you are a gd. there's no need of lying. we already know that.

>> stand up for yourself, man. >> i just don't want to get in no trouble. >> you're not going to get news trouble for telling us this stuff. what you can get in trouble for is reasoning from the police today. >> as long as there is a demand for narcotics, we're never going to break the back of any gang no matter what. so until something is done along those lines, we'll be out here every single day. >> the gangster disciples are likely here to stay but authorities hope to hit them as hard as they can with operation hostile takeover. >> it's a message sending here, you hit the guys at the top, when the rest of their guys see him leave the tier under direct escort from us, then they know that's when the message is sent. >> everybody's fine in their comfort zone, but when you take them out of it, how do they react. >> let's get it. >> that's next on "the squeeze."

>> you put these guys all together in a confined area with rules they've never had their whole life, there's going to be violence. and that's what you're going to be subjected to every single day. >> right now a civil war within the top ranks of the gangster disciples poses the greatest danger to the entire compound. so authorities are getting ready to shake up the main suspects. >> what we're going to do is within the jail we're going to transfer them around, we're going to hit their cells and we're going to do it for the entire gang. >> the operation dubbed "hostile takeover," will be an attempt to les.t all-out violence between investigators have recruited informants from both sides who will continue playing a key role after the big sweep. >> the jail will be buzzing for a week at least.

and that's when we'll be able to gain a lot of information. you need the informant information to get the inside details. >> but an inmate with a score to settle is about to change their plan. his name is antoine and he's a former gangster disciple who went renegade to start his own gang. investigators drake carpenter and adrian sandoval met with him a month back after the gangster disciples tried to kill him. >> they wrestled me to the wall. i was on the ground for about five, ten seconds. i jumped back off the ground, i kept swinging. you see where i got sliced on my throat and my back. you see my back is all [ bleep ] up. they stabbed me and they already know it ain't over with. >> antoine predicted that miss his followers would take matters into their own hands as long as he was locked up on a supermax tier.

>> my people catch the right people, they're going to strike back. we all know they're going to strike back. y'all got me on escort anyway. so i can't do [ bleep ].i can't nothing because they going to do what they want to do. >> the camera's on. the camera's on. >> pat him down, check him out. >> now several weeks later, one of antoine's people has made good on that prediction by savagely beating the top security chief for the gangster disciples. it's a symbolic blow to the gang's leadership. >> i've never seen somebody in that position getting touched. i've never seen it happened. i don't think it's ever happened since either of us have been here. so it's bad. >> it's inevitable. there's going to be some kind of retaliation.

>> the attack took placen a maximum security deck while nearly half of the inmates were on exercise break. it happened in a matter of seconds. four alleged assailants jumped the victim and stomped his head into the floor. they had no weapons, only their fists and feet and sent him to the hospital with massive head trauma. >> all the guys were separated and then we just started interviewing one by one everybody who was out. we were able to get our main suspects involved. >> the lead suspect belongs to the atgs while the others are vice lords. they also oppose the gangster disciples. >> thanks. >> thanks. >> that opens up a whole new can of worms for investigators. >> it's the vice lords aspect i'm more worried about than the atg aspect.

they take in some of you guys for being weak. >> if those people knew that we was on one accord, they wouldn't have acted. >> now they've got to find out if it was an isolated incident or the start of an even larger war throughout the jail. >> it's a chess game except the only difference is people here can lose their lives. >> 47, possible gunshots. with verizon. hurry in this saturday and sunday for great deals. like the lucid by lg, free. or the galaxy nexus by samsung, free. this weekend, get the best deals on the best devices on the best network. exclusively at verizon.

now that a guy like this gets hit, some retaliation is going to have to happen. >> a perfect storm appears to be gathering inside chicago's cook county jail. at the center the gangster disciples, the biggest gang on the compound. their chief of security has been beaten and nearly killed by rival game members. the alleged assailants belong to two different groups, the atgs and vice lords. they've exposed the gangster disciples' leaders for being vulnerable, a result of their own internal disarray. the gang's senior ranks are split in two. one faction that's in power and the other that's trying to take over. now the question is whether the attack by the atgs and vice

lords will remain an isolated incident. or whether it will spark a bigger war on multiple fronts. that's what investigators have to find out quickly. they're leaning on many different sources for intel, including an inmate whom we've been calling franklin. he belongs to the side of gangster disciples plotting a takeover against their current leaders. >> people are smelling that blood in the water right now, that you guys aren't on the same page. so they're taking some of you guys for being weak. >> they're taking them. let's keep this clear, plain and simple. they're taking that crew for being weak. >> it's the vice lords aspect that i'm more worried about than the atg aspect. >> i don't condone what they did, but honestly, nothing is changing with the relationship with the vice lords and the gds right now.

there's always been tension, but lately the last couple of years there has been a peace treaty, so everything has been going all right. so dwloong it was a strike towards the gds, it's just just an individual thing. >> so basically they just took advantage of the situation. >> yeah. don't nobody help him. >> there was a considerable amount of gds that day. everyone was either in the shower, on the phone or watching tv. >> left way out. that should be a message to them, know what i mean? don't nobody care. the jail is always about numbers. you outnumbered, you outpowered. you don't want to be outpowered. >> go ahead. >> based on what they heard,

investigators aren't waiting for the next shoe to drop. they're moving ahead of schedule to shake up both factions of gangster disciples in a coordinated sweep. >> going to meet and sandoval is headed to 9. >> it's the next phase of operation "hostile takeover." >> everybody's got radios? >> identify where the subjects are, where they're housed. show them a picture. >> it's on a large scale but it's not something that's never been done before. >> this is jail 101, searching inmates and looking for contraband. that's what we do. >> it will be an effort between us, emergency response unit, k-9, front line staff. >> more than 80 officers divided into two teams will be hitting a pair of maximum security buildings at once in a show of force.

their goal -- take the 26 highest ranging members of the gangster disciples into custody. officers will use pepper spray if the inmates fight back. investigator adrian sandoval is the case agent for one of the buildings, division 9. while investigators drake carpenter is the case agent for the other, division 1. they're about to rush the tiers where their targets are housed. >> everything is element of surprise. so the potential for stuff to go wrong is high. >> let's go, let's go! [ dogs barking ] >> got one time in cell seven, joey?

two times. what do you want? >> it went really well, as well as it could go. we were able to run in on the tier and secure everybody. the rest of the guys were caught in the hallway, in the corridor. they were all secured. you can see their faces. guys that aren't normally mad about seeing me aren't real happy right now. be advised, 8-3, it went smoothly. three of our five targets were in the day room, no incident. >> it's your birthday? happy birthday, man. happy birthday. this is your party. just ain't no cake. >> the first roundup is over within 15 minutes. now that one tier's down,

authorities have ten more to go. they're already moving the gangster disciples off the tier. they'll transfer them to other tiers or divisions. meanwhile the team division nine is ready to grab more heavy hitters, including the leader of the whole organization. >> i think there's one up there. and one down here. but i don't know who is who. face the wall right there. coming at you. this is huge. the fact that we just came in

here and took down the guy they've been following for the past three years, just got taken off the tier. now what do we do? who is going to take over? who's the mouthpiece? who's the brains? there's going to be a lot of confusion for a few minutes. it's perfect. >> in a matter of hours authorities take 24 targets into custody. from here, they'll transfer them to their new homes and put them under surveillance. >> it's going to open up a ton of different avenues for us. i guarantee you, you'll probably flip three or four more guys, guys that didn't talk to us and now they got moved to a division or a different county, and it's not conducive to what they're used to, now they'll be willing to talk. coming up on "the squeeze." >> we're letting the guys on the street know we're out here because their leaders are causing conflict. you're causing conflict in the

the clearest way to send a message is through force. that's the idea behind "operation hostile takeover." authorities are taking the last part of their operation to the streets. >> we've got one city radio in each sergeant's car. three teams are going to area one, three teams are going to area two. zero tolerance. everybody goes to jail. >> not only are the key players feeling the squeeze inside the jail -- >> you're under arrest, big boy. >> -- now their blocks are feeling it, too.

the sheriff's gang unit, together with chicago police, are making a massive sweep of the west side. >> our goal is to target the gangster disciples in the communities they live. the more problems you cause for us inside the institution, we're going to cause conflict for you guys on the street. they're going to go to jail for everything, whether it's public intoxication, driving under a suspended license. they're going to go to jail for everything. >> you've never been in no gang, never in your life? so when i run your name, it's going to come back saying you've never been in a gang? you hang out with the gds? >> police drive it home racking up 62 arrests over two days on

gangster disciple turf. >> like i was telling you, it's because of the gangster disciples. >> but on some blocks the gangster disciples have a message of their own to send. >> pretty much the letter speaks for itself. you have the cpd, which is chicago police department, and a "k" is just for killers. >> right now the group of guys that are coming up, i attribute it to like a video game. they think they can hit the button and get four more lives. you don't. once you ruin this one, it's ruined. >> while the street operation is in full swing, an alleged gang member shoots and injures two chicago officers. it happens in a neighborhood that's not part of the sweep but the impact is just the same. >> the mayor told us today, when you're not in the city, be

careful because they're not afraid to shoot the police. prime example. >> each is lucky to be alive. they both were grazed in the head by gun fire. a citywide man hunt ensues yet the shooter evades capture for now. >> you've seen how many police officers are out there. we're not going to lose, and we're not going to fight fair, so we're going to win, period. >> man, where you from? >> i'm from the south side. >> south side where? what are you, a gd? >> after three days of jail and street sweeps, investigators sandoval and carpenter face the real test, to find out whether the operation worked.

what their sources are telling them is good news. the gangster disciples civil war is now over. the two sides have finally agreed to share power as a result of police pressure. >> this had to be the end of it, this operation. that's the whole point of it, was to end the nonsense and right now it's ended. >> sandoval and carpenter welcome the outcome and move on to the next potential threat. for one thing, they still got antoine and his atg followers on the compound. >> he said it's not no gang, it's a movement. that's what it is. it's sort of like a bowel movement. >> it would be easy just to turn keys and give them their food but then you're not helping law enforcement in general. you got to be willing to go an extra step.

>> all the time we're running on tiers, these guys have knives. ask life insurance agencies, there's a reason our policies are always a lot higher. >> it's a life-and-death situation, there's that potential every single day. you're going to a place where stuff happens. whether you want it to or not, something could happen. sooff got to make the most of it when you leave your house, kiss your kids, tell the people you love you love them because, unfortunately, it could happen to you, you know. you have to take advantage of that. to me i keep that in my mind every day when i come to work. that's why most of the time when you meet people in corrections, it's a small, tight-knit group. they're the only guys that totally understand what happens in here. >> it's a bond, we're all together. we know we have each other's backs. we're always looking out for each other. that's the most important part.
