Conclusion
Prison gangs are a problem across the nation. Inmates enter prisons already gang members and affiliate with their organization for protection. Those who enter prison and are not gang members, quickly become one for protection. Gangs within prisons are heavily monitored and watched but problems continue to occur. Fights, rivalries and illegal activities are all problems that prison administrators face in regards to the gangs they have reported. Constant diligence and punishing of gang activities in prison will help alleviate the problem in the future.
