Pete Earley in "The Hot House" wrote on page 105:

"The black inmates were from Washington D.C., and were known simply as "D.C. Blacks." They were one of the most difficult groups at Leavenworth for guards to control. Because it has limited jail space of its own, the nation's capital sends a disproportionate number of inmates into the federal system, and most are black, a reflection of the city's predominantly black population. At the Hot House, D.C. Blacks were the largest single ethnic group from any single city, and nearly all were well-schooled in violence. D.C. Blacks were especially notorious as "locker-knockers"--petty theives who ransacked the personal lockers of other inmates--and for pressuring new inmates for sex."

The early 80s was an era of aggression, an ear of murder as well as malicious wounding,” he says. “It was different then. Back then a motherfucker had to have good game on how to get out on the pound, be prone of violence or under somebody’s wing in some kinda way. I was fortunate enough to be around a lot of men. Convicts.” And as part of the feared DC Blacks gang Little Ceaser mad his way.[quote]
