Prison gang now appearing as a street gang of Caucasians in Southern California, but their influence
may be spreading. I have read that most of the members tend to be younger than those in the Aryan Brotherhood. I think this type of group is usually started out of necessity. A common need for protection, and strength through unity in the prison system.
Their allies are not entirely Caucasian gangs, in fact they are allied with various prison/street gangs that are Latino, which hints that the gang is not
racist, although they are not allied with many african-american gangs, in fact probably none at all. The latter leads to the popular misconception that the gang is
racist. They are not in fact
racist or anti-semitic, as their name implies, instead use the name
Nazi to reflect pride in their Caucasian heritage.
The gang is sometimes referred to as NL, or NLR.
