on the outside
182

than just business.

hope doesn't come easy.

If a Featherwood is on
the outside and an A.B.T.
186
00:10:19,184 --> 00:10:20,753
member needs to communicate
with someone that's in
187
00:10:20,852 --> 00:10:22,687
another prison system,
he'll send a piece of
188

correspondence out
to the Featherwood.
189
00:10:24,756 --> 00:10:26,192
The Featherwood will
then repackage it.
190
00:10:26,258 --> 00:10:27,726
She'll put it into a
different envelope,
191
00:10:27,826 --> 00:10:29,894
and she'll send it into
the new prison system,
192

needs to receive the message

as soon as they get it,
they sell it.

finger initially, and as
they were leaving the field,
528
00:26:56,714 --> 00:26:58,383
the finger must have dropped,
so they realized when they
529
00:26:58,482 --> 00:27:00,018
got back to the van that
they didn't have the finger,
530
00:27:00,117 --> 00:27:01,752
so they had to go back and
cut off another finger.
531
00:27:01,853 --> 00:27:03,488
So, when we recovered
the body of Mark Byrd,
532
00:27:03,555 --> 00:27:05,222
there was actually two
fingers that were severed
533

and that's why
that had happened.
534
00:27:07,692 --> 00:27:11,663
Byrd has been taken care of
by the A.B.T. brothers.
535

clothes to the ranch
536
00:27:13,897 --> 00:27:15,733

537
00:27:15,834 --> 00:27:18,068
Now she needs
to do her part.

Destiny Feathers and
another A.B.T. member
539

the bloody clothing and
540
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:24,075
the shotgun and dispose
of this evidence.
541
00:27:35,086 --> 00:27:36,921

A.B.T. household,

gang is all about.
545

This is something I think
she, she, emulated

Several years later, I did
have a chance to meet her

during our Aryan Circle
racketeering case,
560
00:28:25,769 --> 00:28:27,571
in which an
Aryan Circle member,
561
00:28:27,638 --> 00:28:30,174
William Chunn "Big Head,"
was being prosecuted
562
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:33,243
in Beaumont in the Eastern
District of Texas.
563

William Chunn,
aka Big Head,
564

is an upper board member
of the Aryan Circle.
565
00:28:38,415 --> 00:28:40,518
One of the questions
I had for Destiny was,

"Why are you at this trial?
567
00:28:41,986 --> 00:28:43,621
Aren't you an
A.B.T. Featherwood?"
568
00:28:43,721 --> 00:28:45,123
She goes, "No,
I'm actually involved in
569
00:28:45,222 --> 00:28:47,424
a relationship
with Big Head,
570

child with him."
571
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:50,862
I shouldn't be
amazed at all,
572
00:28:50,961 --> 00:28:52,963
because we see how the
Featherwood vacillates
573
00:28:53,064 --> 00:28:57,568
between these two particular
white supremacist gangs.
574
00:28:57,669 --> 00:29:00,372
Big Head might have
a child with Destiny,
575
00:29:00,471 --> 00:29:03,273
but he'll use any
Featherwood that he can.
576

He's also been involved

Featherwood named
Becky Westbrook.
578
00:29:09,146 --> 00:29:11,583
So Becky was an
older white female.
579
00:29:11,682 --> 00:29:14,018
To me, she kind of seems
like a young grandma.
580

she's very unassuming.

We were able to see
most of those communications

587

they're lonely.

The routine was take
her to school...
619
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:51,782
right after dropping her
off at school,
620
00:30:51,915 --> 00:30:53,417
she would go to
the post office...
621
00:30:53,518 --> 00:30:55,553
and collect all the
mail because, again,
622
00:30:55,619 --> 00:30:57,288

or she'd stop
and get gas,
626
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:07,198
but it seemed like really
a quiet, mundane life,
627
00:31:07,298 --> 00:31:10,468
other than the fact that she
was facilitating assaults

someone that ultimately
becomes a Featherwood,
634
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:28,185

communication piece of it.

start to evolve,
636

876
00:42:11,394 --> 00:42:12,496
to each other
is just something
877
00:42:12,596 --> 00:42:15,132
I think intrigues
a lot of people.
878
00:42:15,233 --> 00:42:16,867
The fact that the
Featherwoods operate
879
00:42:16,967 --> 00:42:19,469
on the downlow makes it
easier for them to
880
00:42:19,570 --> 00:42:22,306
create traps for
law enforcement.
881
00:42:22,405 --> 00:42:24,474
The Featherwoods are
not really considered
882
00:42:24,574 --> 00:42:25,643
to be a threat.
883
00:42:25,775 --> 00:42:29,980
I think it's a dangerous
attitude to take because...
884
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:32,782
they're known for
their heinous crimes.
885
00:42:32,882 --> 00:42:34,418
They've murdered
police before.
886
00:42:43,460 --> 00:42:44,394
When it comes to dealing
with these Featherwoods,
887
00:42:44,494 --> 00:42:46,996
I would say that, you know,
you're gonna make
888
00:42:47,097 --> 00:42:49,599
a grave mistake if you
discount them or you
889
00:42:49,666 --> 00:42:52,702
don't take them as serious
as you would a bro.
890
00:42:53,505 --> 00:42:56,306
Some Featherwoods are willing
to risk life on the inside
891
00:42:56,407 --> 00:42:59,510
to uphold their motto
of 'Til The Toe Tag',
892
00:42:59,610 --> 00:43:01,644
meaning loyalty
'til death...
893
00:43:01,744 --> 00:43:03,847
and drugs play a part.
894
00:43:03,947 --> 00:43:04,983
But that's not the
only thing
895
00:43:05,081 --> 00:43:07,518
that keeps the
Featherwoods around.
896
00:43:07,619 --> 00:43:10,853
What happens is the woman
literally becomes addicted
897
00:43:10,954 --> 00:43:14,458
to this man, and she
wants his attention.
898
00:43:14,525 --> 00:43:17,494
It usually takes a woman
seven attempts
899
00:43:17,594 --> 00:43:19,797
to get away from a man
900
00:43:19,862 --> 00:43:21,699
that she is
trauma bonded to
901
00:43:21,798 --> 00:43:24,034
because the effect
on the brain
902
00:43:24,134 --> 00:43:27,505
is just like
heroin addiction.
903
00:43:27,570 --> 00:43:29,806
A lot of these people are
given opportunities when
904
00:43:29,873 --> 00:43:33,376
they're sentenced to go to a
rehab facility over prison.
905
00:43:33,476 --> 00:43:36,280
Most will choose the prison
over the rehab facility
906
00:43:36,380 --> 00:43:39,215
because they don't want
to get out of that life.
907
00:43:39,349 --> 00:43:42,885
The lifestyle's way more
addicting than the drugs.
908
00:43:42,987 --> 00:43:45,389
Dude, I've kicked meth,
heroin, all of it,
909
00:43:45,489 --> 00:43:48,324
and that shit didn't
have nothing on this.
910
00:43:48,425 --> 00:43:50,027
Former Featherwood,
Jewel,
911
00:43:50,126 --> 00:43:51,996
has advice for
any young women
912
00:43:52,096 --> 00:43:54,097
thinking about
becoming a Featherwood.
913
00:43:54,197 --> 00:43:56,233
Yeah, it's fun,
it's magical.
914
00:43:56,333 --> 00:43:58,335
There's money,
there's guns, there's dope,
915
00:43:58,402 --> 00:44:01,137
there's fuckin' badass
gangsters who...
916
00:44:01,237 --> 00:44:03,440
at the drop of a fuckin'
word can have
917
00:44:03,539 --> 00:44:05,208
somebody killed, but...
918
00:44:05,309 --> 00:44:06,911
Don't, man.
919
00:44:07,010 --> 00:44:08,911
Because once you're in,
you're in.
920
00:44:09,012 --> 00:44:10,914
And when you
get out...
921
00:44:11,014 --> 00:44:12,081
not everybody
makes it out, bro,
922
00:44:12,215 --> 00:44:15,351
but if you do make it out,
your life is fucked forever.
