Insane Gangster Disciples
The Black Gangster Disciples split into a number of factions, including the Black Disciples (BD) and the Gangster Disciples (GD). The different sects technically remained affiliated under the Folk Nation alliance of gangs, rival to the People Nation, both based in the Chicago area. Like most major gangs, Gangster Disciples use a well-defined system of symbols to communicate alliances and rivalries. This system is a combination of symbols that represent the Gangster Disciple Nation or the Folk Nation as a whole and symbols that rivals use to represent their organization, typically inverted to show disrespect.
are white kids who grew up admiring the hip-hop life, and once in custody found themselves face-to-face with the real thing: thus they dare not call themselves “real” Gangster Disciples, they call themselves “Insane Gangster Disciples”, aka White kids in the GD-identified gang. They get their “literature” right over the Internet, or through the GD book: Blueprint for Growth and Development. They do exist by the same name independently of the GD’s, but they are in many respects spouting the same language and symbols as their Black GD counterparts. Sometimes, in prison, though, real GD’s do not want anything to do with “wannabe” white GD’s such as Insane GD’s. But the real GD will always take any pleasure or advantage offered in respect from an Insane white GD. It's basic economics: it is an economic advantage to the real GD gang to have wannabe white GD’s in the wings offering free goods and services, thus the Insane GD gang is “tolerated” as a kind of white bread “auxiliary unit”. Within the real prison-based Gangster Disciple gangs, the black members generally view the IGD’s as subservient flunkies.Identifiers/symbols:

In El Paso this morning, 24-year-old Folk Nation/Gangster Disciples member Emmanual Lockhart was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for federal sex trafficking violations announced Acting United States Attorney Richard L. Durbin, Jr., Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Special Agent in Charge Waldemar Rodriguez and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent in Charge Douglas E. Lindquist, El Paso Division.
In addition to the prison term, United States District Judge Philip R. Martinez ordered that Lockhart pay a $2,500 fine and be placed on supervised release for a period of ten years after completing his prison term.
On January 16, 2015, jurors found Lockhart and three other gang members--25-year-old Richard Gray, 26-year-old Deion Lockhart and 29–year-old former El Paso County juvenile probation officer Timothy McCullouch, Jr.—guilty of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of persons.
Testimony during trial revealed that between May 2012 and March 2013, the defendants were involved in the forced prostitution of juveniles and adults by the Folk Nation/Gangster Disciples street gang. The defendants used a combination of force, fraud, and coercion to compel their victims to engage in sexual activities for money in El Paso; Killeen, TX; Albuquerque, NM; Las Vegas, NV; and, in Colorado.
Yesterday, Judge Martinez sentenced Richard Gray and Deion Lockhart to life imprisonment and 300 months imprisonment, respectively, for their roles in the sex trafficking scheme. McCullouch is scheduled to be sentenced at 8:30am on Monday, June 29, 2015. McCullouch faces up to life in federal prison.
