Which PRISON GANG would you team up with if for any reason you ended up serving time?
I've been watching a great TV series called OZ, and it gave me inspiration to make this poll. I bet this question can be a tough one for those of mixed racial and ethnical background.

I'd side with the Italians because: - they're Mediterreneans and the closest I can relate to culturally. - Although they're criminals the Italian Mafia has (or had) some very strong morals (hey I watched the Godfather series a hundred times) - Italian food. Like I'd ever go to prison

My gang is called the Please Dont Rape Me! gang Oh, yes. That too. I'd stay away from the Turks then, if I were you. The Ottomans were notorious for their love of "boys". Exactly what kind of a love that is, I leave to your imagination.

Italians won't allow any Non-Italian in their gangs. Im sure there aren't many Punjabi/Indian prison gangs maybe a few in Californian Sikh and Pakistani gangs lol.

I wouldn't go to prison. I wouldn't let myself get caught . If I REALLY had to join any of the ones you mentioned, I would join the Italians. I am imagining that scene from "Goodfellas" where they used a razor to cut garlic. I actually started chopping garlic more carefully thanks to that movie .

Being Greek I would have to join the Sakaflia, the elusive Greek mafia. The are not well known (the word sakaflia is not even in my Greek dictionary) but they do exist in the US. They model themselves after the Italian mafia to which they pay tribute. They specialize in gambling and loan-sharking. Failing to find any of them I would have to join the 'Ndragheta, the Calabrian mafia. It was created in Calabria by Sicilians exiled there and the word 'Ndragheta is of Greek origin according to all the sources I have seen. The best etymological explanation I can come up with is that it is a corrupt form of "andragathia" meaning a brave deed.

Im sure the Greeks are more dangerous in this aspect than the Turks, well maybe not actually, as Im certainly over the age of 10. ANd the Greeks seem to like em disgustingly young Then again, you never know about those Evil Welsh

Relations between men and epheboi in ancient Greece is a favourite but here you are catching me unaware. Children under 10?

Could you elaborate please. An awful lot has been written about the sexuality of the Greeks. Relations between men and epheboi in ancient Greece is a favourite but here you are catching me unaware. Children under 10? From what I know of ancient history; the Greeks were not really interested in "kids" per se, but in young boys. And it wasn't in a molesting way but a mutual relationship. They saw love for a woman and a love for a man as two different things, and their love for man was, as they wrote, a more "friendly" one. They weren't crazy about women as socializing went and I think they prefered men's company. It's not a Greek specialized thing though, it was practiced by Romans and it was practiced by Ottomans; and if I'm correct by Persians too. Old and wise men would have their "apprentices" and socialize with them. The young boy would learn from his "teacher" about philosophy, friendship, love and life in general and would later marry and have a "normal" life until he himself would get old and have his own "young friend". At least that's how they explain it in many sources that I've read. Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.
