informants, murder contracts have been ortered for what source
believes are trivial reasons, and the life of members in prison
has become treacherous because of a lack or dependability between
members .

RACKETEER ENTERPRISE INVESTIGATION
History-
California State Prison System
In the late 1950's and until the early 1960's,
there existed at California State Prison, San Quentin, a
group of white inmates known as the Blue Bird &ang. As
time went on, it became apparent to other white inmates
that a more powerful gang was needed to protect white inmates
from the Black and Mexican prison spawned gangs that were ..

I will stand by my brother,
My brother will come before all others t
My life is forfeited should I fail my brother,
I will honor my brother in peace and war.
In 1967, at San Quentin, the name AB was adopted,
and the concept of the AB was formed, that is, "one is in
for life and the only way out is by death."
Originally, one had to be part Irish in order
to be a member of the AB. The AB wanted whites who could
stand on their own feet, but they reached a point where
they did not care about anyone except the ABs, and became
a white racist group. They picked the name because it showed

white supremacy and the clover, because it is the sign of
the Irish and the original members had to be part Irish.
They use the sign "666", which is the sign of the beast,
and the swastika, which means one is an outlaw. The sham'-
rock is symbolic of the AB and especially win

gang) member, at Deuel Vocational Institution, Tracy, Califor
nia. The NF had been at war with the Mexican Mafia (MM/EME)
since 1968 and EME members had been friends with AB members.
When Castro. was killed, the AB and EME formed 'an alliance
to help each other and to fight the NF.
The AB grew in size in the California prison system
and today, it is estimated that there- are more than 100
members. They carry out murder contracts, sell narcotics,
and control gambl ing and th e sale of "pun^s" within prison

of fear with some brutal murders.
The.AB, in early 1980, formed a
ed this feeling
now an estimated 100 - 160 members oi
system.
Recently, a Los Angeles source has come forth and pro-
vided information regarding the AB. Source has provided accurate
information regarding two murders in the Federal prison
system, and has also furnished information regarding 58
individuals suspected to be members or sympathizers of the
AB and the EME, both in and out of prison.
It is a hard fact that most of the AB will be
paroled or discharged at some future date, and in view
of members* lifelong commitments, it would be naive to
think he would not remain in contact with his brothers.
The rule of thumb is that once on the streets, one must
take care of his brothers that are still inside. The penalty
for failure to do so is death upon the members return to
the prison system. Some of the paroled members' duties

would be to supply his brothers inside with drugs, or to
make hits on the street as commanded by his brothers.
A review of the atrocities attributed to the prison,
gangs inside of our nation's maximum security prisons should
shed some light on the potential of what these gang members
can do with little or no supervision while out on the streets.
Source information indicates that the AB has a
strangle hold on some of the top LCN members who are inside
the prison system, so now it allows the AB access to the
funding of organized crime.

puncture wounds to the upper chest, back and abdomen area. Due
to the severity of Baumgarten's condition, he was immediately
transferred to Evangelical Community Hospital, Lewisburg, PA,
at approximately 9:55 a.m., and was pronounced dead at approximately
10:00 a.m.
The crime scene was immediately secured and Special
Agents CSAsl of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) responded
to the Institution.
Institution authorities initiated a search of the
A, B, C and D-Blocks of the Institution. In addition a search
was conducted of the outside perimeter grounds in an attempt to
locate any physical evidence. The above searches failed to produce
any weapon ts], articles of clothing or any suspected physical
evidence. Inmates located within the living quarters at the time
of the incident were secured and ultimately checked for any possible
cuts, bruises, blood stains or torn clothing. All of the above
met with negative results.
During the crime scene search physical evidence (blood)
was found on the folding gate restraining partition located within
the recreation area connecting C-3 and A- 3 Blocks. It was discovered
that it is possible for an individual to crawl underneath this
restraining gate if assisted by a second individual who would hold
the gate up from the floor. Further investigation of the area
revealed a blood stain on the C-3 recreation area door. This
indicates that the escape route taken by the assailants was through
the C-3 recreation area door, through the recreation area itself,
underneath the partition gate and back into A-3 (A-Block, third
floor)..
During initial interviews of inmates located within
the immediate area of the incident, an inmate eyewitness to the

retaliation for the murder of Cadillac Smith which occurred at
the USP, Marion, Illinois, earlier in 1982.
(also believed there was a second inmate involved
in the murder of Bau mgarten.
was placed in the Institution Administrative Detention unit.
As the investigation progressed, it was determined
necessary to place a number of inmates into the Administration
Detention Unit, either for possible involvement in the murder
or for having been identified as inmates who would most likely
retaliate on behalf of the victim.
During the week of December 13-17, 1982, Institution
staff and Special Agents of the FBI conducted numerous interviews
of inmates towards the ultimate development of cooperative
inmate witnesses.
On December 15, 1982,
During the middle part of November, 1982, victim
Baumgarten had arranged to purchase a quantity of cocaine which
was to be received within the Institution from the outside over
the weekend of November 27-28, 1982. Arrangements were made and
$1,000 was sent to cover the purchase of the cocaine. Due to this
transaction, Baumgarten began purchasing drugs on credit within
the Institution, using the' imminent arrival of the cocaine as
collateral.
The purchase of the cocaine was being directed by
another inmate within the Institution whose identity was not known
to the source. During the period of time that the cocaine was to
arrive at the Institution, shakedowns by USP authorities resulted
in various inmates getting "busted" for narcotics. This apparently

led to the postponement of the introduction of the cocaine.
Simultaneously, Baumgarten continued to purchase drugs on credit
and got further in debt,

During the period from December 1982 to the present,
information has been received and compiled indicating the presence
of a large group of inmates within the USP, Lewisburg, which has
organized into a retaliatory and murder organization. This group
is comprised of Black inmates from the Washington, D. C. area
and is known as the "D. C. Blacks". A large segment of this group
also has membership and/or ties with the Moorish Science Temple.
Information has been received indicating that this group of inmates
have banded together and have plotted the murders and attempted
murders of white inmates at the USP their "cause" being the
retaliation of the killing of Raymond "Cadillac" Smith who was
purportedly murdered at the USP,^arion, Illinois, by incarcerated
members of the Aryan Brotherhood* (AB) .

RACKETEERING ENTERPRISE INVESTIGATION
During the last 180-day period, investigation in this
matter has been primarily concerned with developing sources of
information regarding the Aryan Brotherhood (AB) .

One such source of information is known as the Cali-
fornia Prison Gang Task Force (PGTF). This task force is made up
of representatives from various law enforcement and corrections-
related agencies throughout the state, and meets on a once per
month basis. The meetings offer investigators and corrections
officers the frequent opportunity to discuss the latest intelli-
gence and developments relating, not only to the AB, but to other
prison gangs, including the Mexican Mafia (EME), La Nuestra
Familia (NF), and the Black Guerilla Family (BGF). The Los Angeles
Division now has a member represe ntative who will be attending the

or not. Investigators claim that the D.C. mob strives for
power and control within the prison system. It is also known
that the AB also strives for the same type of control. Investi-
gators believe that the violence between * these two groups is only
in the "budding" stage. It cannot be determined, at this time,
whether or not this violence will spill over into the California
State prison system.

SOURCE INFORMATION
During this Investigative period, a number of confid-
ential sources have provided information regarding the activities
of the AB.
One such source advised that the AB has spread through-
out the Federal prison system, and has developed links with other
organized crime groups on the streets. In the early 1970s,
members of the AB started going to Federal prisons for crimes
such as bank robbery and narcot:

As was the policy In the past, they began
rcruiting lor the AB, pnly now they had the entire country
to pick from.
The Federal prison system held many well-to-do
members and associates of Italian organised crime groups, who
were powerful on the streets, but were at the mercy of any "nut
with a knife" while in prison. The plan was to have these
La Cosa Nostra (LCN) figures pay protection to the AB, while
at the same time, to ingratiate themselves with these mobsters.
In return, the mobsters were safe while inside the walls, and
rere obligated to offer the AB members a "slice of the pie" on

nd advised the
following information :
He feels that the killing of correctional officers will •
escalate in order for the AB f s to establish their authority through
f ear . .• j
He feels that the way to solve the problem of the
growing AB population in the Federal and State system is to
segregate all of the members of.the AB , as well as their associates.
The State and Federal systems should get together and put all of
the gangs in one prison and keep them locked down as that is the
only way they can be kept from growing.
There is a chance that the AB ' s and MEXICAN MAFIA (EME)
could cooperate with the BLACK GUERRILLA FAMILY (BGF) , but he feels
that in a period of time, that cooperation will deteriorate, as
there are some diehard racists in the AB .
He feels that the killing of the correctional officers.
(by the established members of the AB could spur the younger fc
dnmates to do the same in order to establish themselves as. proven.
warriors, under the warrior concept.*
He feels that if the AB ' s locate a correctional officer's
home, they would be inclined to hit that correctional officer or his
family .

The AB ' s are doing the hits on correctional officers
more than members of EME because "they have all day", which means
most are doing very long terms in the Federal prison system while
members of EME will be getting out in a short period.
He feels that the murders of the correctional officers
will spread like cancer lesions and the way to stop these murders
is to localize the members of the AB and put them all in a single
prison. This will stop the spread of the cancer. He feels that
whoever interfers with the AB, whether it be correctional officers
or inmates , will be killed at this time . ^_ BM _ J .. vA^"

when
a member ot one or tnese two organizations was trie~cl that - other
members of that organization were not subpoenaed for the purpose
of having a meeting. Members of these organizations joke about
how easy it is to subpoena other inmates, as you do not have to
show any purpose to the judge to subpoena, and the__s_
to comply with the subpoenas.
it was common practice by members of the AB to subpoena
other members of the AB so that they could have a meeting con-
cerning the activities of the AB.

LA 183B-1754
killing of the correctional officers was to set an example to
the other correctional officers that they are not to mess with
AB members or they would be killed. The ABs know there is no
dealth penalty for killing a correctional officer, so they are
utilizing members who are doing alnhnf time to kill co rrectional
tic.
They know that
they cannot win, but by killing they can set~an example of honor
in favor and support in the eyes of the inmate population. The
more they establish themselves in this concept, the more they
become established as a true organized crime organization in
the prisons and streets. The ABs feel that the Federal System
has been abrasive to them, so the killings of correctional officers
is retaliatory in nature and an attempt to establish a base on
fear which affects .both correctional officers and other inmates.
.The ABs who are doing alot of time are carrying out
murder contracts for the Mexican Mafia (EME) as some of them
are about to get out and it would be a waste for short-timers
to get a long beef, as they can best be utilized on the outside.

between the two groups and at the present time there is
little overt communication between AB and EME except when

an AB training camp in the Coeur D'Alene area. This effort will be closely coordinated
with the Butte and Seattle Divisions. Further, through the proximity of Coeur D'Alene

of full cooperation between FBI and BOP, not%nly in tne^iwestigation of prison gang
offenses , but the full dissemination of any and all gang related information regarding
these offenses. This dissemination can facilitate, not only the criminal act under
investigation, but also the potential impact of these isolated criminal acts on an
overall RICO effort against the entire organization.
i1ft>
Throughout the meeting, BOP voiced full willingness and eager cooperation in
assisting and joining in the FBI's efforts to address the prison gang problems. This
joint cooperation can greatly aid in the investigations of CGR type cases as well
as provide timely intelligence information from BOP as to prison gang activities
within BOP and anticipated release of identified gang members on parole to a given
region.
These two meetings, AB Strategy meeting and BOP Gang Activity meeting, were
highly beneficial for both the Organized Crime Section and the Personal Crimes Section
as to identified programs within each section. The established direction and mutual
areas of concern will be closely coordinated between all effected substantive desk

THE PURPOSE OF THIS CC'MMUNICATION IS TO ADVISE

THE ARYAN E-RCTHERHOCD (AB) IS A PRISON GANG
COMPOSED OF WHITE INMATES, THE GANG HAS MEMBERS
SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE U.S. IN STATE AND FEDERAL
PRISON FACILITIES. IN CALIFORNIA, THE GANG AROSE
DURING THE 1360 'S AS A RESPONSE 5Y WHITE INMATES TO
ATTACKS EY BLACK AND HISPANIC GANGS. THE A3 IS RACIST
IN NATURE IN THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT THE WHITS INMATE IS
SUPERIOR TO BLACK AND HISPANIC INMATES. THE AE IS

ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE AMERICAN NAZI PARTY, IN

IS ALLOWED TO FORM IF THERE IS AN AB ORGANIZATION
AT THE FACILITY; EVEN MOTORCYCLE INMATE GANGS ARE
NOT ALLOWED TO BAND TOGETHER IN ANY CLOSELY
ASSOCIATED GROUP WITHOUT RISKING AN ATTACK FROM
THE A3.
WHILE THE A3 WAS ORIGINALLY STARTED AS A
MEANS OF PROTECTING WHITE INMATES FROM OTHER
MINORITY GANGS, IT SOON PROGRESSED INTO A EUSINESS
ABLE TO CONTROL NARCOTICS MOVEMENT AMONGST WHITE
INMATES, THE ASSIGNMENT CF KEY PRISON JOBS TO AB
ASSOCIATES, AND THE EXTORTION THROUGH THREATS OF
VIOLENCE CF THE GENERAL WHITE INMATE POPULATION.

DECIDED THAT SINCE EVERY A3 MEMBER HAD A VOTE AND
HAD TO BE CONSULTED ON ALL DECISIONS REGARDING AH
BUSINESS, THE GANG COULD NOT OPERATE EFFECTIVELY AND
IN A TIMELY MANNER. IT WAS THEREFORE DECIDED THAT A
COUNCIL OF EETWEEN 10-1Z INMATES EE SELECTED
TO VOTE ON MAJOR ISSUES WITHOUT CONSULTING EVERY SINGLE

MONEY ON NARCOTIC SALES AND TO BE ABLE TO EXERT A
GREATER INFLUENCE ON PRISON LIFE. IT WAS ALSO DECIDED THAT
NO LONGER WOULD AN INDIVIDUAL HAVE TO MURDER AN ENEMY
CF THE AB IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR FULL MEMBERSHIP. IN
THE PAST, THE AB WAS KNOWN FOR ITS EXTREME VIOLENCE
AND HAD DEVELOPED A BAD REPUTATION' AMONGST MOST PRISON

CF INDIVIDUALS WITH DIFFERENT SKILLS AND NOT JUST A
MINDLESS 3UNCH OF MURDERERS. ATTEMPTS WOULD- THEREFORE
BE MADE TO RECRUIT EXPLOSIVES EXPERTS, CHEMISTS,
FEOPLE WITH LEGAL BACKGROUNDS, CONMEN , AND PEOPLE WHO
WOULD BE ABLE TO RUM SCAMS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE
