What gangs are in carbondale Illinois?

Answer 1

Gangs in carbondale Illinois are usually migrant gang members from st louis or Chicago. There are a few clicks of bloods and crips. Also gangster disciples have been known to be in carbondale and mt vernon illinois. Skinheads and KKK also play a role in gangs in this area there are still a bunch of active KKK In the area Harrisburg has an active klan and Franklin County still has klan they had a rally in 1993 on the square in Benton Illinois. In recent years motorcycle gangs are starting to see Southern illinois as an untapped area to push drugs. Meth has been a major problem in the area for years and these different motorcycle gangs are seeing an opportunity to capitalize on it. Ms13 is beleived to now be in the carbondale area due to illegal Immigration and all the orchards in Cobdin illinois.

Mt Vernon has a worse gang problem then carbondale though due to the fact that I57 meets I64 so mt vernon is a drug hub town. Also with the high unemployment rates in southern illinois due to most of coal mines shutting down the state of illinois started building more prisons in southern illinois to ease unemployment and its cheaper to build in this part of the state. So many inmates that get locked up and are sent down state to the prisons when parolled many of them dont want to go back to there original town so many of them move to towns like mt vernon and is the direct cause of mt vernon having the most convicted sex offenders then any other city in illinois.
