Omschrijving

INSIDE THE GANGSTERS’ CODE is an all-new series following ex-mafia street boss Lou Ferrante as he explores different gang cultures, their characters, and their inner workings.

1 18th Street, El Salvador

Lou travels to El Salvador, home of the second highest murder rate in the world, to meet the 18th Street, a ruthless, multi-ethnic, transactional criminal organisation engaged in a bloody war with rival gang MS-13. To find out what motivates the on-going war, Lou realizes he will have to meet their feared and infamous leader, Viejo Lin, and journey to Izalco Prison in Sonsonate, El Salvador, which houses 838 of the country’s most violent 18th Street gang members, including many of its feared inner circle.

2 The Commandos, Phillippines

Lou arrives in Manila, capital of the Philippines, to visit Bilibid, the world’s largest prison, and to infiltrate the powerful and much feared Commandos gang. Street gangs and prison gangs are separate in the Philippines, but one rule is clear: outsider access is forbidden. 

While there, Lou witnesses a ruthless initiation and learns that there is a dangerous gang war emerging both within and outside the walls of the penitentiary.
