this was the aryan brotherhood. i covered this up two years ago. came into prison august 17th of 2006. i covered this up september of the same year. three weeks after me being in . prison. i had a case with another aryan, which they say i told on them. so i get down here and the same guys i supposedly told on are here in this prison. >> at the prison we've had a lot of problems with an aryan organization. the big problem is instead of fighting between each other, the whites and the blacks, what's been happening more recently is problems with the aryans going after each other. and a lot of it is because there's been influx with the organization, and their leadership, and there's a struggle for control. >> since dropping out of the aryan brotherhood, nick compton says being attacked is only one problem. >> i'm being extorted for money. my mother and sister sent me over $500 since i've been here. >> can you identify? >> yeah, no problem. >> compton is due to be released from prison in three months, but risks putting himself in greater danger with the

we have a mexican mafia, we have the northern structure, the aryan brotherhood and nazi low rider. these guys are here because of their criminal activity. it's either drug related, assaults on staff assaults on other inmates. we do house the worst of the worst here, security is paramount. while you've been validated as a gang member, you're going to remain in shu. >> one of the most dangerous inmates in the shu is a child who was made to lead the mexican mafia. he is shackled by two officers, they insisted our staff wear puncture resistant protection. >> i'm german mexican, but my heart's always been brown. i was in l.a. county jail for 3.5 years. they put me on trial for murder/robbery and possession of heroin. whether i was innocent or not, just by looking at me, i was guilty. and i was pissed. there was no way i was going to let the system give me life in prison unless i earned it. so -- oh, i owned it all right. >> we listened to tapes of a jailhouse admission to a murder christian committed. >> it was an individual from my area. he had put himself in the wrong position by -- i

member, and that began my life as a prison gang. >> the aryan brotherhood used robert to carry out theirirty work. >> prison gangs involved everything from stabbings, killings, drugs, weapons, whatever needed to be done. i did it. >> we warn you. the details of his violent acts is extremely graphic. >> there was an inmate that came up here. he was accused of raping a woman out on the street. because i was up in coming in a gang at that time, it felt to me to either make another inmate kill him or i myself kill him. i chose to kill myself. if i didn't kill this guy, or if i didn't have this guy killed, then i myself would be killed. that's how the prison gang system works. so me and two friends of mine, fellow gang members, went into his cell to play cards with him. the plan was for his partner in pinochle lose on purpose and to get him down to do push-ups. and when he got down to do push-ups, i got down on his back and applied a little pressure. that was my excuse to get up next to him. at which time, i put my arm around his throat, kind of choked him out a little bit to make him weak. b

. >> tim transitioned from a drug user on the streets to an enforcer for the aryan brotherhood in prisonsible for collecting drug debts. >> my policy was if one of my people got in a drug debt i would pull them up and say you're done, cut up their credit card, get together with white, pay their debt and he's done. if he gets drugs again then we'll stab him because he violated and i agree with that. there is drugs in prison, obviously. you get on a phone and cry to mom, i need $100. i broke somebody's tv, whatever lie you want to tell, can you send it to this address? you get it to the street to the connection their old lady brings the dope and bring it back in. somebody will come to visit and they'll have their little balloons and they stick them up their ass, when they come back they [ bleep ] them out and clean them up, paper it up and sell it. >> coming up, tim's drinking is about to get worse. >> a slight hint of alcohol smell, so -- >> and, they've hit inmates at the job site. now the isu team is targeting their home. >> get to the door. pop them. >>> plus -- >> urine analysis. >> l

. >> he was part of the aryan brotherhood. he was one of the big boys in that faction.rt on you if you looked at him wrong at that point. >> i guess a lot of people looked at me as one of the, if you mess with the white boys or there's a problem with them, joe's going to be one of them. he'll be up front. you'll have to deal with him. >> as a level six inmate, sears lives in solitary confinement and is allowed outdoors no more than an hour a day, which he spends in this exercise cage. hard time has taken its toll. >> he's lost a lot of weight. mentally he's not as sure of himself. >> a big piece of my life is ruined. it's just real sad, it's a waste of time. >> sears has no family or friends waiting for him. our crew was his first contact with outside faces in years. he opened up on how his time has affected him. >> it's kind of hard for me to explain. you start feeling. they talk about conscience. before you didn't have a conscience. you start developing a conscience. because you actually have time to sit in a cell all day and think about the things you've done. you kn

. >> parker claims to be a leader of the aryan brotherhood prison gang. >> i wasn't racist until i started in jails and in prisons, kept getting jumped on over and over again. then i became racist. i wear it proudly. i got the swastikas and got the schutzstaffel bolts. >> when we met him, he was serving his time in administrative segregation because his desire for another tattoo nearly turned deadly. >> about six months ago, i cut a dude's throat down in population. he was supposed to do some tattoos. i was going to get some swastikas tattooed on the side of my neck. he didn't want to run them. i paid for them. he didn't want to run them. i said, well, you just need to give me my money back. he didn't want to do it. i pulled out a box cutter and i cut the side of his throat. he went running away and tried to run behind an officer. like an officer is going to stop me or some [ bleep ]. >> what happened to him? >> they put him on a helicopter, flew him to the hospital, did some kind of surgery, put his jugular vein back together. >> our producer learned that the total debt owed to parker was
