About this item

by Gabriel C. Morales (Author)

"Prison Gangs in America" is the most comprehensive book ever written on major gangs in United States prisons. It includes hundreds of rare photos and descriptions of violent events, many times first hand accounts, by the Author who spent over 30 years working behind the walls and researching the subject. "Gabe Morales is not afraid to deal directly with some uncomfortable issues in society. That shouldn't surprise anyone. For years he's been dealing with those deemed too dangerous to be allowed out on public streets. In this book he gives us the benefit of knowledge he's personally gained, as a Correctional Peace Officer, working as an Inmate Classification Specialist, as well as relaying many lessons he learned from numerous mentors over the years. I'm glad Mr. Morales has taken the time to write this book to better educate all of us. America will be a safer place!" - Karen de Olivares, Ph.D.-Sociology Dept., SMU, Texas.
