2 Chicago Gang Founders Locked in the Same Supermax — Only One Walked Out

Jeff Fort tried to recruit a young Larry Hoover into his gang in the 1960s. Hoover said no, and the two went on to build rival criminal empires that would each reshape Chicago's South Side for generations. Fort founded El Rukn and eventually plotted terrorist attacks on behalf of Libya in exchange for weapons and millions of dollars. Hoover built the Gangster Disciples into a drug empire he ran from inside a prison cell for over two decades. Both men ended up at ADX Florence, America's highest-security federal prison. Decades later, only one of them walked back out. This is the story of two rivals, two empires, and one supermax prison that couldn't quite hold them both the same way. 🔔 Subscribe for a new one of these every week. #BlackCrimesUncovered #TrueCrime #PrisonDocumentary #ADXFlorence #LarryHoover #JeffFort #GangsterDisciples #ElRukn #ChicagoHistory #MostDangerousInmates #PrisonCrime #GangHistory #TrueCrimeCommunity #CrimeDocumentary #BlackHistory
