I describe my experiences in detail in my course but here is how a friend Elzi spent some of his time.
He did not have choice and joined gang to fight. It was only way for him to get some resources and make it through year.
Most people joined gangs for the reason that they did not have any other way to survive, or they thought that was the easiest way to survive.
Some of them did not have food so they joined, some of them did not have weapon for protection and they joined, some of them just wanted someone to lead them.
Most of the folks I know who joined, did that because they were not prepared. Nobody expected what their life would be like.
It was trade with the devil, but trade that had to be done for many to save their families. (Gangs had power and resources, so being in gang meant having usually more food than others for example and of course weapons)
Last time I met Elzi we recorded some things (we recorded for hours, I will write more about his experience if you like).

Elzi’s struggle to survive
