You don't seem to be familiar with the prison gang hierarchy.

Not from personal experience, no. But if friends of mine, incarcerates themselves in both state and Federal super max prisons, are to be believed, the Brand's power has diminished somewhat over the years, thanks to concerted efforts by law enforcement. they don't dominate the prison system as they once did.

Let's assume you're right though: the kid will be taken in by the Brand. In exchange for which he'll be tasked with doing all manner of violence as a Brand soldier.

Here's another wager: the kid eventually gets hit by his own--for being a punk, a snitch or just a frick-up. I'd bet money this is what happens if he becomes a Brander.

So there you have it: he gets whacked by blacks in vengeance … or whites for being a punk.

Neither scenario is pleasant to contemplate. I think we'd agree on that.
