A Violent gang had such control over a notorious jail that they had a Minister for Education and Minister for Finance, a court heard.
Gang leader, Tavon 'Bulldog' White, described a culture of corruption inside the centuries-old Baltimore City Detention Center, led by a group that had its own language and laws and authorities.
The Black Guerilla Family's hierarchy even included a 'minister of education' who quizzed members on gang literature and a 'minister of finance' who managed the profits sent by cellphones from behind bars, the court was told.
White testified that the gang controlled life in the jail and that he directed guards motivated by sex and money to smuggle in drugs and cellphones and facilitate attacks on inmates who challenged his authority.
The gang's smuggling schemes even fund the bail that frees gang members who can't pay to get sprung from jail, he testified this week.
Gang leaders, not guards, were the ultimate authority inside the jail, he said.

Nothing new here. Talk to anyone that's been in ANY Maryland prison, jail, or detention center and they'll tell you who really runs the place. Again: Just another sign that this country is on the fast track to becoming "Third World". Sad.
