Diverse mix of gangs a growing security challenge for federal prisons


Canada's prison system is struggling with a dangerous gang population that is becoming increasingly diverse and more difficult to manage. The region also has the highest number of prison gangs, such as Fresh Off the Boat Killers. The next biggest, according to CSC, is Indigenous gangs with 594 members, followed by motorcycle gangs with 368 members. According to CSC's classification, there are at least 65 different security threat groups identified. CSC says it does not track data on whether security incidents such as assaults are related to, or caused by, security threat group activity.
