. >> one of the larger gang is the aryan brotherhood. >> aryan brotherhood is a true prison gang like mafia. they do have a constitution, they do have a hierarchy, they do have a parmilitary structure. >> at the mostly hispanic bexar county jail, the gang is uncharacteristically quiet. >> the white population is very low. you may have a unit of 48 inmates but only 10 whites in there. it's counterproductive for white groups to cause any tension when they're so severely outnumbered. >> the few aryan brotherhood members that i did get to know in the bexar county jail did have a lot of bravado. even though they were minorities, they acted like they were the majority. they did act like king of the hill. >> aryan brotherhood of texas, we represent red, black, gold, red for the blood, black for the bruises and gold for the money. >> among the aryan brotherhood inmates at bexar county jail, the personality of todd "big country" allen. >> another day in paradise in bexar county. they can't segregate everybody. you have to sign a paper saying who you are, you won't cause any problems. they will

i didn't know robert was in aryan brotherhood at all. everyone has their beliefs. discriminate against him. he grew up differently than i did. >> i'm going to have hard decision to make when i get down there. >> down where? >> down in prison. i'm going to have to stop being an aryan or throw my family to the side. >> why do you have to stop? >> we're not allowed to have black in our family. if she's dating a black then they ain't going to allow it. >> robert was now facing a big dilemma, but there was this bond, this familial bond, that was very present and very important to him. >> and later, robert did reach a decision. he wrote back to andrea to let her know what it was. >> i have to be what i am and do what i got to do for my family, i will. it's a hard decision to make but i'm going to do what's right for me. >> you willing to give up aryan brotherhood for your sister? >> yes. >> what's that mean for you though? >> i look at this like this. my family will be here more for me than they will. >> since inmate mail takes several days to process, robert gave us per

. >> joe sears was part of the aryan brotherhood. one of the big boys in that faction, let's say. >> joe sears was arrogant. he had something to prove. no problem getting in your face at any time. >> he has not adapted well to the lockup setting. the system has made him very hard. >> this place, what it does is it builds up a lot of frustration and anger and stuff in you because of the environment that you've been placed in, you know? you don't have much jobs, don't have much education programming here. don't have much recreation. we're isolated with everything. we are isolated in our cell. we come out here to the rec area, and we're isolated. i try to do the right things, but there have been times, yes, that i got into a fight over certain things. >> i myself had many a run-ins with inmate sears. had to lock him up out of population several times. >> the only conversation that we really are -- or social contact that we really have or anything, as you can see, is yelling. i've had to do things i didn't want to have to do, you know, b

correctional officers, but you're probably much more petrified of the gang leadership whether it's aryan brotherhoodcause they control your day to day life and in many cases they control your life. >> prisoners will join these gangs or are assigned to these gangs because the gang offers some sort of protection, but the gang also demands that prisoners commit acts in violence and in some cases deadly acts of violence. given that, i wonder how much you've got a sense of prisoners pushing back on the gang hierarchy and saying i don't want a part of this. is that even really possible in any sort of measurable way? >> no. there is essentially no safe, effective way to do that. it's a very violent and dangerous place. the facility we visited salinas state prison is a level four correctional facility. this year, violence is down. they've reported only 700 violent incidents in this particular year and that's a good number. they've been able to reduce violence to just about two a day. we saw a stabbing on the yard when we were there. all of that is gang driven and the result of what the prisoners call politi

but the majority of gang members here belong to white supremacist gangs, like the aryan brotherho brotherhood prison officials suspect that a growing religious group known as asatra could be affront for white supremacist gangs. marcus murray is one of the members that denies that. >> there has never been anything in my study that is says one race is more dominant over another. one culture more dominant than another nor one dominant religion over another. asatra believers believe that my religion is fine, your religion is fine. >> this man says there's one group who is not welcome. >> if we found out that somebody in the asatra community was a child molester, he would be banned from the community. he cannot participate. it's a bylaw. you cannot be a sex offender and be an asatra. >> this member also defended the fact that some members have swastikas tattooed on their bodies. >> the swastika was around a long before adolf hitler came along, okay? i don't have nothing against uncle adolf, but he took something from my religion which was a sun wheel and made it part of this party. and that goes b
