10. Aryan Brotherhood
Via newsweek.com
The Aryan Brotherhood formed when white men found that they didn’t have a gang to join in prison culture. Now the syndicate can boast over 10,000 members both in and out of prison according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The organization can vary worldwide but something that all Aryan Brothers have in common is that they are white. A former Aryan Brother came out to the press about exactly what he had to do in order to become a member of the gang in the late ‘70s. This man stated that he had to kill someone in a “spectacular fashion” before vowing to never leave the group. The murder was meant to be like a public execution of a rival gang member and was generally a person of the opposite race. This witness was made out to be a liar and is no longer trusted as a reliable source, but we’re still willing to bet that there are some violent rituals in this prison gang.
9. Knights Templar Cartel

Informants told authorities about some exceptionally disturbing initiation rites that went down in 2014 with the dangerous Mexican gang. The Cartel was known for trafficking humans for organ harvesting and in line with that horrific crime, they forced new members to eat a children’s heart in order to join. It was Nazario Moreno, known as El Chayo, who came into the room where this informant was and told those who were there “Today we are going to eat a person’s heart.”
Before starting Knights Templar, Moreno started the dangerous La Familia Cartel also based out of Mexico. In the years that have elapsed since this story, El Chayo was assassinated and many of the higher ups in the Knights Templar have been arrested on drug trafficking charges. Despite this blatant disregard for human life the Knights Templar live by an immense ethical code. There is an entire 22-page book that holds the rules and regulations of those who call themselves The Knights Templar.

Officially known as the United Blood Nation, Bloods are a prison gang that first formed in 1993 as a response to the prominence of the Latin Kings in the New York City jail system on Rikers Island. The United Blood Nation officially formed in Riker’s George Mochen Detention Center, called G.M.D.C., a space that was used to segregate problem inmates from the general population. The Bloods have since expanded to have many ‘sets’ across the nation with a prominent set in Los Angeles.
The Nine Trey Gangsters gang is a known set of the United Blood Nation as is the Sex Money Murda gang that was started by OG Pistol Pete. It was the formation and dominance of the Bloods that started the Crips in Los Angeles, California. After joining the Bloods a member must burn three circles in a triangular shape on to their upper right arm or right hand to show pride in their gang affiliation.
