SUMMARY: Former gang member John Knight is now an intervention specialist working to steer young people away from gang violence in Jackson, Mississippi. Gang activity in the city is on the rise, with smaller factions associated with larger gangs like the Vice Lords and Gangster Disciples. Law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are actively tracking and targeting these gangs. Gang members often boast about their activities on social media, leading to arrests. The city's police chief acknowledges the gang problem and is seeking to address it with a combination of law enforcement and community outreach. Knight continues to work both inside and outside of prison walls to help prevent young people from getting involved in the gang lifestyle.
