FBI Bulletin: Prison Gangs Learn Arabic for Secret Codes

Recent law enforcement reporting indicates that Black Guerilla Family (BGF) members are using language training manuals to learn Arabic at Pelican Bay State Prison in Crescent City, California. Both corrections officers and FBI cryptanalysts believe this will lead to inmates using Arabic to create secret codes to communicate. This raises safety concerns for law enforcement officials who may come in contact with BGF associates using Arabic to conceal criminal activity.

(U//LES) Corrections officers at Pelican Bay State Prison report that inmates are receiving Arabic language training manuals and instruction pamphlets written in Arabic on Muslim prayer and other religious edicts through the mail. An inmate who serves as the prison’s interim imam has received some of the manuals and pamphlets and made them available to other prisoners in the prison library.

(U//LES) Pelican Bay corrections officers believe BGF leadership is encouraging gang members to learn Arabic because of the influx of Arabic learning materials recently mailed to BGF members. There is no indication that BGF members are learning Arabic to participate in or make contact with Islamic terrorist groups. Inmates have told corrections officers they are learning Arabic to “better understand the Qur’an.”

(U//LES) According to Pelican Bay corrections officers, the Islamic Center of Hawthorne, California, is sending some of the language training materials to the inmates. Islamic International Publications, LTD publishes one of the religious pamphlets (See Figure 1).

(U//LES) Further corrections information from Pelican Bay reveals that BGF members are instructing friends and family outside prison to learn Arabic. Currently, there are no corrections officers at Pelican Bay State Prison who can translate Arabic. Personal mail and kites (notes sent
from one prisoner to another) written in Arabic would be impossible for guards to understand without an Arabic speaker.

1. so why doesn't Pelican Bay State Prison just hire themselves a few Arabic speaking guards?

Problem solved, no?

4. If they did....

They couldn't make heads or tails out of this acquired gibberish. These inmates are not so much learning a foreign language but inventing some lingo that guards won't understand. It will be as unintelligible to Arabic speakers as the lingo used by WWII code talkers was incomprehensible to the average uninitiated Navajo.

5. Then it's not Arbic they are learning.

3. Uh, they post direct links to govt PDFs, are they wrong? (nt)

[kenfrequed]

6. uhm yes.

Many of these government pamphlets are old and actually just rationalizations for failed policies or nonsenscial ravings created to rachet funding up.

7. Did you read the PDF you linked to?

There are people, whom we pay within our govt, who put out things like that - and apparently he has quite a few clients:

His clients have included:
• The City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada • Leon County, Florida Sheriff’s Office
• The City of Dayton, Ohio • Virginia State Police
• The City of Green Bay, Wisconsin • Virginia Department of Corrections
• The City of Virginia Beach, Virginia • New Jersey Division of Fire Safety
• Dekalb County, Indiana • Arizona Gang Investigators Association
• Prince William County, Virginia Public Schools • Florida Gang Investigators Association
• Virginia Beach, Virginia Public Schools • North Carolina Gang Investigators Association
• Virginia Department of Education • Northwest Gang Investigators Association
• Missouri School Board Association • Oklahoma Gang Investigators Association
• North Carolina School Board Association • Virginia Gang Investigators Association
• Prince William County, Virginia Police Dept • Washington State Children’s Justice Conferen
• Virginia Beach, Virginia Police Department • National Animal Control Officers Association
• Oklahoma Association of Chiefs of Police • National Major Gang Task Force
• Illinois Chiefs of Police Association • National Security Chiefs Conference
• King County, Washington Sheriff’s Office

So the site posts real links to real govt docs, and whether some may be old or not, they still have research value to people.

Not sure why you also judged a whole site and it's links by one PDF.
