Crimes inside prison

The NLR is very influential in many southern prisons, particularly in California. David McBride, an officer for the Ontario, California police department, commented that 99% of the NLR's crimes were crimes for gain.

The NLR were accomplished drug dealers in prisons and juvenile correctional facilities, so the Aryan Brotherhood, a gang of 15,000 white supremacists who had been segregated in prison, began using them as junior partners in the drug dealing business.

The AB made clear that the NLR dealers weren't to deal with addicts or users of other races. The AB received most of the profits, but being associated with them was worth it to the NLR because it gave them a credibility in the underworld which they'd previously lacked.

Certain factions of the NLR want to keep the Hispanics working for them and to generate money from narcotics and the other favors following the ideals of Aryan supremacy over making money. The factions are disputing the inclusion of non-Aryans in the gang, i.e. Hispanics.

The NLR has its own junior gang, like the AB has in the form of the NLR, the PEN1, or Public Enemy No.1, who are heavily involved in drug deals and murder-for-hire and number 200 white supremacist members. Public Enemy No. ...

Trivia

• They were featured in an episode of a series of documentaries by British celebrity Ross Kemp, and were portrayed as a threat to the security of innocent people, particularly in Southern California.
• The name 'Nazi Lowriders' is derived from members' habits of wearing their prison-issue trousers sagging low, Cali-style, around the waist. Contrary to a popular urban legend, this is not a method of signalling sexual availablity; it is usually because prisons have a habit of issuing outsize garments and not issuing belts because very often their owners are found hanging lifeless from them.

Ross Kemp (born July 21, 1964 in Barking, Essex, England) is an English actor, well known for his portrayal of Grant Mitchell in the popular BBC1 soap opera, EastEnders. ...
