    A bloke jailed for a fight in a Hooters car park said his imprisonment led to him being involved in one of the most notorious gangs in America.<\/p>\n

    Jon Jon Bristow ended up as an enforcer for the Aryan Brotherhood, which has been described as the "oldest and most notorious racist prison gang in the United States".<\/p>\n

    But the burly Texan electrician didn't share the gang\u2019s racist beliefs and only joined the group because he was worried about being beaten up in jail. Jon was initially jailed after a punch-up in a restaurant car park that went horribly wrong.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI got into an altercation outside of a Hooters,\u201d he told podcaster Ian Bick. \u201cThis guy walks out\u2026and he went to poke this girl in the face. When he did that, I decided to intervene.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI decided to get into the mix and try to save this lady but when I did this guy thought he was going to poke me in the face.\u201d Jon dodged the punch and kicked his assailant. But the other man fell against a metal fence and was badly hurt.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe started bleeding out of his ears\u2026so I just I took off.\u201d Unfortunately for Jon, the CCTV evidence presented at his trial showed the roundhouse kick, but none of the action that had come before. A guilty verdict was inevitable, and Jon was sentenced to four years in jail.<\/p>\n

    Jon had no idea how he was going to cope in prison. He recalled: \u201cI'm hearing these stories in jail about how you've got to you've got to lay your demo down\u2026 you\u2019ve got to go in there and make an example."<\/p>\n
