i told you already, it's our custom. >> inside rimanim, the abu ganims have gained a reputation as aormidable crime family. >> translator: when i came to prison, everyone knew our story. which family i belonged to. we have a background. we are a large family. a lot of members. there are almost 20 of us here. where we live, we have a very high status and everyone respects us. >> i felt like i was in a film. in a scene like from "goodfellows." all of them spending time together, cheerful, the whole family cooking, they're proud, they're carrying themselves with a lot of pride for what they did. >> translator: we try not to put two clashing families together. we separate them to eliminate problems. >> translator: they can't put two or three different families in the same cell block because everyone feels that he's the top dog. that can escalate into a fight with very bad results. so it's preferable for them to put one family in each cell block. they manage their own affairs and their people as needed. >> rimanim staff also sees a strategic advantage to keeping crime families together. >
