From my experience as a psychologist in the Federal prison system, I'd say these BGF members were simply looking out for their own interests. On the one hand, medicated, this guy is a ready support of muscle and can work toward their agenda. Un-medicated, he's an assault waiting to happen indiscriminately. He could just as easily injure a BGF member, a rival gang member, or a C.O. Meaningful, supportive relationships between inmates are the exception, not the norm. The only support being a gang member offers is a degree of safety.Dr. Pink Freudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090769288313695919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-82020493920829603522008-04-04T16:48:00.000-04:002008-04-04T16:48:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dr. Pink Freudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090769288313695919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-76206724598975332192008-04-04T16:41:00.000-04:002008-04-04T16:41:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dr. Pink Freudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090769288313695919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-63795928637625943432008-04-04T14:48:00.000-04:002008-04-04T14:48:00.000-04:00Fascinating post.

I find it interesting that the gang becomes a "family" support system in a positive way, when many of us have real and loving families that struggle to be like that and to understand we need medictaion and psychiatric help.

He was so irate that he brutally, and I mean brutally (face on stove burner, anyone) beat up and murdered his "partner" who set the fire...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, have you seen a new show on the History Chanel called "Gangland"? It comes on once a week and they talk about one gang each week. It is very interesting. It was on last night.<BR/><BR/>LilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-69810787320081635512008-04-04T08:13:00.000-04:002008-04-04T08:13:00.000-04:00Very interesting post- thanks.
