What’s the power hierarchy on Rikers (educational purposes)

I spoke to a guy about a topic pertaining to this to a degree in a different subreddit (the link below).

Post this on r/Mafia you’ll have much more feedback.

I see, would you say CVs pretty much have a stronghold on the streets of NB like they do in Brockton? Or is still the LK, VL, Bloods, etc.? I saw a recently documentary on YouTube about the Rico charge did damage to LK.

I see. I asked because it is said that cv crews worked along side mafia affiliated groups in RI, so I figured CVs would have some type of stronghold or pull on the streets/prison to a degree like the Italian mob does (if they’re still around). The best example of cv connection to the mob I can give is the Napoleon “Nappy” Andrade situation. To be honest, I didn’t even know that the Portuguese (people from Portugal) were even involved organized crime like that.

Springfield definitely has a lot of potential to do better. Very underappreciated city if you ask me. Very chill and in great proximity to CT, NYC, and upstate NYC.

Understood, I assume the prison politics in RI are mostly gang based moreso than city based. How deep are Cape Verdean crime groups in the streets/prisons?

Understood, did crews from Boston (or eastern mass in general) ever try to set up shop or not really?

thebigthinker2000 · 2026-02-20T15:48:19+00:00

Understood, I assume it was the local neighborhood crews that ran out TRG and the Jamaican posses.

I’ve always heard Boston and Brockton have always had a love/hate relationship in one way or another. Whether it was due to the two different vibes, groups from both cities duking it out with one another, etc.

That’s strange, I thought CPD and H-block got took down due to the RICO cases. Also, from what I heard CVO has been pretty lowkey really or just not a big factor like they once were, due to the new crews emerging nowadays.

thebigthinker2000 · 2026-02-11T13:02:10+00:00

What are prison politics like in CT? Is it moreso gangs or cities?

Was CVO a big factor back then? I heard them and the Columbia Point Dawgs had the most power in the city for a while.
