"Gangs that operate out of our prison systems not only bring drugs and violence into prison facilities – they also breed drug-fueled violence in our communities," Supervisory Senior Resident Agent of FBI Atlanta’s Savannah Office Will Clarke said in a release at the time. 

"We are committed to dismantling violent gangs like the Ghost Face Gangsters and holding their members and those who conspire with them accountable for criminal conduct," he added.
