Clark Street, used by George “Bugs” Moran and his gang to store liquor. The impostors lined up six gang members and a hanger-on against a wall, produced machine guns from under their overcoats, and opened fire”(4).

It is said that this hit was put out by Capone because Moran and his gang had recently hijacked one of the Capone’s shipments.

Bias in the records has been noted in terms of geography, index offence, and ethnicity. What is not known, however, is the extent that the original 150 prisoners on the list, and thus those who were interviewed, are representative of the wider population of convicted violent gang members in prison. For example, a sample drawn from another city is firstly likely to have a differing ethnic composition.

The gang engaged in selling narcotics, contraband, and disobeying the prison inmate policy rules which included the murder of other inmates and staff.
