in the city's bergen county jail about 15% of the inmates are gang affiliated. while most are divided among racial lines, the dominant gang here has found strength in diversity. >> the predominant gang inside bergen county jail is united blood nation. they recruit anybody. they believe in numbers. it's a numbers game for them. there could be bloods from different ethnic backgrounds, black, white, hispanic. when i worked in the state prison system i actually had a blood gang member who was a hindu. their willingness to accept anybody into their gang is what makes them the most dangerous. because we don't know where they're coming from. >> sometimes blood members don't even know each other. one blood everyone seems to know is michael bates, who has just met with his attorney, and is not pleased with what he has learned. >> i got to go to trial now. >> why? >> they're throwing double digit figures at me. i don't want it. i'm not taking it.
