numbers

A rather brutal and secretive group of prison gangs in South Africa. Number gangs have numbers instead of names, and typically have millitary-style hierarchy, extensive tattoos, strict internal laws, and require violence against prison staff for initiation. The 28 Gang also has a system for distributing sex between new recruits and established members. Recently featured on a BBC documentary.

Numbers gangs include the 26s, 27s, 28s, etc...

The Numbers

Uptown Manhattan, where numbers are used to define streets, not names. Everything above 14th street, more or less. Meaningless jive area, doesn't need to exist.

Everything except New A-Town in Manhattan is "The Numbers"

Guy one: I ain't goin all the way to fourty-deuce, I am staying away from the numbers.

Guy two: Word, screw them. New A-Town pride!
