v.— «On Aug. 9, Jordan returned from class to find that someone had broken into his locker and stolen about $50 worth of food, cigarettes and personal hygiene items. He had had his locker “kicked”—broken into—before, but usually managed to retrieve his possessions by appealing to gang members’ OGs, the older “Original Gangsters” who supervise the criminal conduct of their young disciples.» —“Gang life at prison on trial in murder case” by Ted Wendling Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) Feb. 27, 2005.
