BACKGROUND: The Bloods originated at the Sentennial High School from the Piru gang, which took its name from Piru Street in Compton, California. It formed to protect members from the Crips, and then other gangs with the same motive started using the names Piru and Bloods to signify alignment with the main gang. Although the Bloods are a smaller group than the Crips, they are potentially dangerous, particularly when present in any numbers.

The Bloods present a significant threat to correctional administrators not only due to their predatory and violent behavior, but more importantly due to their intense rivalry with the Crips. As do the Crips, the Bloods have a strong fascination with assault-type weapons.

MEMBERSHIP: California members of this gang are typically from South-Central Los Angeles; they have similar attitudes about group loyalty and violence. Like the Crips, the Bloods love to be in the limelight. They are especially arrogant, and believe that acting naive about them conveys weakness. Bloods members will seize every opportunity to lie and portray the image that they respect only those who are “bigger and badder”.

The Bloods (and the Crips as well) say, as a group, that “snitching” or becoming an informant is forbidden. However, once removed from their group, they are usually easier to deal with, possibly due to their belief that they are shrewd businessmen.

The Blood also have their own system of “Flashing” or hand signals used to identify membership in a particular gang or set.

IDENTIFYING INFORMATION: Traditionally, Bloods have always worn red colors, using red bandannas or red rags; similar graffiti and graphic styles, emphasizing disrespect for Crips and Crips symbols. Recently, a new trend appears to have arisen. Bloods in some eastern states have reportedly been known to wear brown, tan and rust or burnt orange colors to represent "dried" blood. They have also been known to wear pink, a variation of the color red.

ALLIES: Any gang who considers the Crips an enemy.

ENEMIES: Crips
