After long delays due to security reasons and scheduling conflicts, National Geographic Explorer airs the special 1-hr documentary about the Aryan Brotherhood - closely following two former members - one who killed, by his own count, 22 men in prison. I was the editor for this documentary.

Those are the real guys. Their locations are not disclosed, but they're not impersonators, if that's what you are asking.

These people are one of the top people who made the "A.B"....... But also the ones who turned against them too

you know this is a good reason to never join a gang, if michael thompson is still alive and they send assasins onto his yard to kill him and he survived hes either 1.an experience fighter 2.the attackers arent that tough

My brother was in the Aryan Brotherhood, I havn't seen the documentary, but I do know that if you are white and in prison, you have one of two choices, join a gang or die. In a white person's point of view, it only makes sense to join one that you have the most common backgrounds, interest and sadly but most important race. I know a few of them and I have never met one that I couldn't trust. From my past experiences with the Aryan Brotherhood, when they give you their word, you can count on it, that is you have pull with a higher ranking man that respects you. I'm interested to hear others opinions, as long as it's not disrespectful to the brotherhood. THANKS!

I have a friend in TX prison that was in the brotherhood. Well, he says he's out of it, but by watching the show, they say you can only get out by being killed, unless you are in a protective yard in prison. I'm not real sure if he's still in it or not, but I do know that he's in "Ad Seg". I don't know if that means he's being protected, or they have him in there because they found out he was with them. Anyway, he tells me that he's no longer in it. I wish we had a private way of communicating with each other on here, because I would like to talk to someone else that has a friend or relative in the brotherhood. I'm curious to find out more about them. No, I have no thoughts of joining a gang, I'm just curious to know more about it.

Hi all, I am from central-east part of Europe. We have also similar brotherhoods here in our national jail like AB is. Here are the white people formed in one common group, because here make Gipsies a major criminality. So many of them sit in jails and the whites must protect themselves against the attacks from the gipsies. Some prisons are under complete white brotherhood protection. Instead of kid-rapers. It doesnt matter how is your race, when you rape children. These violators are hated by everyone side. I´ve seen the documentary and I must say, there are many differences between US and our east Europe prisons. For Tina Howard: I think, you are absolutely right.

I don't think any of us can judge what we would or wouldn't do if incarcerated in prison. It's a complete foreign world to ours as ive discovered from watching that documentary. I believe in any given situation you do what you have to, to survive. Prison life seems to me to be about survival and little else. I feel very strongly that very young offenders should not be sent to maximum security, but to medium or low as then they have a chance of rehabilitation. Maximum security jails are no place for the young as science tells us that the adult brain is not developed entirely until the age of 25. That's what I think anyway.

These Aryan Brothers are losers just like all the other prisoners in a gang! I watched a show on the History Channel about them. I can't see how people think these guys are so great.If they were so great,they would never be in prison. All I saw was these guys pretty much bragging about themselves and they showed no remorse.LOSERS.

Could you end an argument for me one way or the other? Are these the real Michael Thompson, Casper Crowell , John Greshner and Bob Overton?
