It takes a gangster to understand a gangster and what really goes on in the underworld. For the first time in what is considered to be television’s most intimate and thorough study of prison gang culture, Discovery Channel’s Inside The Gangsters’ Code goes behind bars and takes viewers on an all-access pass into the previously impenetrable and the dark world of some notorious organizations. Join former mafia insider and ex-convict, Lou Ferrante, into his quest as to unravel the secrets and truth about the world's hidden leaders: gangsters whose international reach and power have grown to epic levels. Join him as he re-enters this hellish world he walked away from a decade ago and taps into his knowledge and inside networks.

An exciting new series, Inside The Gangsters' Code is an exclusive look at real life lawbreakers from across the globe and their paradox of organized crimes - illegal activities that are both hidden and blatant. From Latin America, to the United States and Europe, ex-mafioso boss, Lou, infiltrates some of the most dangerous mobs and prisons to shed new light on a variety of very different gang cultures, decoding their history, modes of operation, developing webs of power, motivations and political sway – in graphic detail.

Leaving no stones unturned in Inside The Gangsters’ Code, Lou immerses himself in the cultures of these illegal assemblages, both inside and outside of prison. Witness as he explores each gang, talks to guards, gets under the skin of outfit members, living and breathing its culture and ultimately tracking down and speaking to the men who reign over these dangerous and powerful organisations.

The four-part series, Inside The Gangsters’ Code airs every Sunday at 10pm, starting March 17, 2013 only on Discovery Channel.
