Not to be confused with the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.

The Aryan Brotherhood is a neo-Nazi, white supremacist prison gang that operates across the United States. The gang is known to be violent and powerful. In fact, it is the oldest, largest, and deadliest prison gang in the U.S.

 History 
The Aryan Brotherhood was formed in 1964 in California's San Quentin State Prison in California. Its first members were Irish immigrants who opposed prison de-segregation.

 Initiation 
According to a 2011 book, the Aryan Brotherhood's motto was "blood in, blood out." This meant a person had to bleed in order to join the gang, usually by way of a violent initiation process. If the person wanted to leave the gang, then they would have to bleed again. 

According to one source, new members have to go through a violent initiation process and commit murder before they are accepted into the gang.
