[Narrator] May 27th, 2021.
Some of the most hardened female inmates in North Texas
line up for roll call in county jail.
But the dull jailhouse routine is just a distraction
for the brutality that's about to go down.
♪
Unknown to the prison guards,
one of the inmates, Stephany Baxter,
is a secret weapon of the notorious
Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.
The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas,
a violent white supremacist gang
largely based behind bars.
Baxter is what's known as a "Featherwood."
Featherwoods are typically females that adhere to
a white supremacist ideology, and...
are most of the time associated with a member of
the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas or the Aryan Circle.
♪
You can't call them trailer park, but they're
willing to fight dudes with you in a bar fight.
They are rowdy.
They are the punk rock scene.
Motherfuckers will bow down
when you walk through, bro.
You have the backbone to go in and
kick their fucking teeth down their throat.
Featherwoods are a powerful weapon in the arsenal of
white supremacist prison gangs,
whose tentacles run deep within the
Texas prison system.
I refer to them as the mythical creature.
You hear about them, you don't see them.
And I believe that the gang members
use them because of how
under the radar they, they go.
And Stephany Baxter is about to show
A.B.T. leadership...
what an effective and violent weapon she can be.
Baxter is intercepted on a monitored call with
A.B.T. member, Dustin Clem...
aka "Game Over."
Game Over is convinced that a female inmate
is snitching on A.B.T.
Game Over gives Baxter the order to S.O.S.
or "Smash on Sight,"
a.k.a. a green light.
A green light is giving the go ahead to assault or
do whatever you need to do to take care of...
a certain individual.
Use whatever violence necessary.
Baxter has to teach the suspected snitch a lesson
about betraying the Brotherhood,
and she carries out her orders without hesitation.

When I first heard about the Featherwoods,
my first impression was...
surely they cannot be that organized.
And I was wrong.
Featherwoods will go to extreme lengths
to prove their dedication
to the cause of white supremacy.
It's a lot scarier when it comes to the female inmates,

♪
To understand the Featherwoods,
you need to know the Peckerwoods.
♪
For decades, white male inmates in Texas have
referred to themselves as Peckerwoods.
When inmates join white supremacist prison gangs,
they take this ideology with them.
And since the 1980s, Texas prisons have been
dominated by two white supremacist gangs...
The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas,
founded in 1981...
And a rival offshoot called the Aryan Circle,
founded in 1985.
They went to war with each other.
It was interesting to watch that unfold.
Both gangs control prison yards and extortion rackets
with extreme violence, and both gangs
command deadly meth rings on the street.
But with so many members locked up,
the Peckerwoods of A.B.T. and A.C.
have come to rely on their ace in the hole
to carry out their criminal operations.
You have a fucking job to do.
Well, so do we.
But the true worth of any Featherwood
comes down to one word...
loyalty.
They have to be willing to do
whatever these guys ask of them.
There's really no limitations of what
they may be asked to, and if they're not going to be
loyal enough to commit those,
then they do not fit
the definition of a Featherwood.
If you're in the family, you're a working bitch.
Ain't no free ride.
Then you earn a feather.
But you got to earn that motherfucker.
Legit members or not, gang biz doesn't go down
without the help of Featherwoods.
Featherwoods running the dope to make it
appear as if, you know,
it wasn't something that a criminal was doing.
Even some of the shrewdest members of law enforcement
can't ignore women's charm.
The Featherwoods know this,
and they aren't afraid to use and abuse it.
And her exact words were, "It's easier to flash
cleavage of my breasts...
when I'm driving and just get a ticket for the
traffic offense the officer pulled me over for,
then let my boyfriend drive.
And as soon as they see him, they're gonna detain us.
They're gonna pull us out of the car,
they're gonna search us,
and they're gonna find the drugs."
And she was right.
The Featherwoods serve an important purpose
for the guys on the inside, too.
They're also communication hubs.
So if someone's in prison and they want to get
a message out to somebody in the street,
they relay that information.
Keep in mind that when someone's in prison,
they can't talk to other inmates
in other person systems.
For many of the inmates,
having a woman on the outside
also provides more than just business.
It gives them hope.
But at the end of the day, hope doesn't come easy.
If a Featherwood is on the outside and an A.B.T.
member needs to communicate with someone that's in
another prison system, he'll send a piece of
correspondence out to the Featherwood.
The Featherwood will then repackage it.
She'll put it into a different envelope,
and she'll send it into the new prison system,
where this other member needs to receive the message
of the order or whatever it is.
So, you know, these Featherwoods become
essentially conspirators in this actual
criminal conspiracy, because they're actually
facilitating these messages.
And oftentimes they know exactly what they're doing.
Sometimes they don't, but for the most part,
they oftentimes do.
♪
Like the men they're writing,
Featherwoods are no strangers to using code
to pull the wool over the eyes of law enforcement.
They'll use the term 'dresses'...
and you'll think that they're talking about
buying a dress.
I need to figure out what dress they're talking about.
Is that an address?
Is that an object?
That's when I say the fun begins.
A.B.T. brothers and their Featherwoods
have their secrets.
I started learning the "A," "B" were underlined
on every word that had an A and B in it.
And so I knew this was specific to
the Aryan Brotherhood.
But it's not just words
Featherwoods hide in the mail.
The most popular drug that is sent into the mail
is either meth soaked in paper.
Lately, it's the fentanyl
that they're soaking in paper.
And once that comes in,
it's really hard to track down because
as soon as they get it, they sell it.
And it goes from one pod to the next.
And before you know it,
you have all these inmates high.
They'll do anything to get drugs into that facility.
Love's a motherfucker, bro.
Love will fuck you up. [laughing]
Sneaking contraband into lockup
only scratches the surface of how far Featherwoods
will go for their brothers.
But not every woman can make the grade.
There are two different types of Featherwoods.
You're gonna have your, your women that,
yes, they have been taken advantage of.
They don't necessarily want to be in it,
but that's all they know.
Then you have your women who...
are absolutely excited to be part of this,
that thrive on it.
They're brutal. They'll hurt you.
And they will laugh about it.
And those are the women that...
are some of the scariest women I've talked to.
Me personally, I was fucking born in it, bro.
Raised in it. Lived it my entire life.
At 14 my dad gave me to a fucking captain of the
Aryan Brotherhood because he didn't want to die 'cause
he done got so far in debt with them.
So, he gave me to my first son's father at 14.
From that moment, I started right down the road...
running guns, dope,
fucking kicking Featherwoods' asses
that were fucking up.
I had the most power at one point in time
here in this region, as a Featherwood.
♪
Even some of the Featherwoods who are
about the life don't fit the mold.
Some of them come from fucking money, bro.
A specific Featherwood that I've interviewed
was a Division One soccer player...
and had her whole life in front of her,
and she got wrapped up with the wrong guy, at a party,
got introduced to drugs, became addicted to drugs.
Now she's a Featherwood because that's her life,
and she's absolutely proud of it.
Because they have always wanted a sense of belonging.
We call them rescue hoes.
I was one.
Shit, because of what I come through,
I wanted something where I had
a purpose and a meaning.
Not just to fuckin' hold the dope and smoke the dope.
I wanted the power.

What happens in this kind of a relationship,
the male has already sized up this Featherwood
and has figured out what she wants.
So, for example,
if safety is really important to her,
this male will really present himself to her

He will keep her safe.
So it starts out very exciting.
The woman feels very cared for,
very loved, very safe.
But then the male starts to devalue her

Oftentimes it's very consistent with
domestic violence and the cycle of abuse.

July 14th, 2007.
Two Black teens pull their pickup truck in front of
Clem and Tanya's front yard.
They were arguing with a friend of Clem's.
We believe it was about a drug transaction.

the individual they were arguing with.
Clem grabbed an AK 47.

He was standing in the middle of street firing at the car
as it drove away.
Both of those individuals in the car were struck
multiple times in the upper torso,

Smith and Clem are on probation,
living together against the advice of the law.
And Clem just killed two Black kids.
They're in deep shit.

♪
We photographed all the tattoos.
Almost all the tattoos she had on her body
had some element of white supremacy in them.
So, it really wasn't a stretch to see that
she was probably a member of the Aryan Circle.
Tanya's ink shows her loyalty to the Brotherhood,
and cops can tell a lot through the ink about
where gang members' loyalty is.
Every Aryan has a different set of bolts,
so your Aryan Circle will start with a tip top
and go to the tip bottom.
So, almost like lightning completely.
Your Peckerwood will have a square top
with the pointed bottom,
where you're AB guys will have square bolts
where they're square top, square bottoms.
And a lot of 'em will lie.
A lot of 'em will say, "No, I'm not a member."
If they lie to me and I know they're lying to me,
then I'll play dumb.
I'll offend them. I'll be like, "Well,
those look like Aryan Circle bolts to me."
And they're very quick to correct you, and be like,
"No, those are not Aryan Circle bolts.
These are AB bolts.
Don't get me confused with those guys."
As for Tanya Smith,
the cops immediately ID her and she catches
two life sentences for her part in
the gruesome crime.
Tanya never came across to me as this evil person
that was hell bent on, you know, this crime.
She was along for the ride.
Law enforcement wants to understand,
what would make a woman like Smith throw her life away
for a guy like Clem?
Tanya came from kind of a rough background.
Both her mother and father were addicted to drugs.
That's tragic in its own right,
but I've met lots of people over the years
that were raised by grandparents or
even raised in the foster system that,
you know, don't go the way she went.
There's another reason women like Smith get tied up
with guys like Clem. Drugs.
You start getting the Featherwood high,
you'll have their fucking mom's bank account,
their dad's bank account, her grandfather's fucking
Navy Seal guns, everything.
It's like fishing, bro.
You throw your line out there,
and when that bitch bites that hook,
you don't fucking let up.
Once you got her by the hook, she's done.
You own her at that point.
But it's not just Smith's background or
drug addiction that plays a part.
When they're committing this crime together,
I think what happens is it brings the two people
very close together.
This is going to be like
excitement on steroids.
It's very alluring.
Getting called on by a brother

May 2008.
When A.B.T. prospect, Mark Byrd,
skims a little off the top of a dope delivery,
A.B.T. brothers, Frank Urbish, aka Thumper,
and Jim McIntyre, aka "Q-Ball,"
bring in Featherwood Destiny Feathers
to help clean up after a gruesome murder.
Her father was a long-time member of the
Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, Charlie Feathers.
And she is a force to be reckoned with.
A.B.T. calls on Feathers to get the job done
after a murder gone wrong.
And it's a messy one.
May 2008.
With Featherwood, Destiny, waiting in the wings
to help on cleanup, A.B.T. brothers
take care of a problematic prospect.
Mark Byrd was supposed to deliver some dope.
However, he seemed to pinch a little bit off for himself,
so as a result of that, he had to be disciplined.
There's talk that Byrd is a rat, too.
The green light is issued.
Byrd has got to go.
And since Frank Urbish, aka Thumper,
sponsored Byrd, as a prospect,
he's the man for the job.
He gets help from some other A.B.T. brothers,
and they'll be calling on their Featherwood,
Destiny Feathers.
Now, Mark Byrd was operating out of the San Antonio area.
The A.B.T. sent an enforcer crew from region one,
which was the Houston -Beaumont area,
out to San Antonio, to take care of Mark Byrd.
♪
These guys took him out to a wooded area.
They tortured him to try to get him to talk about
perhaps being a snitch or not.
And then they all shot him.
[gunshots]
They shock him because they all wanted to equally have
a hand in that particular homicide to say that
they were all culpable and all responsible for it.
The next day, a driver passing by a field near
Poteet, Texas, makes a nasty discovery when he finds
Mark Byrd's bullet ridden body tied to a tree.
One of the sad things during the Mark Byrd homicide is
they actually had to produce evidence
that they committed the murders.
So, the evidence was, "Hey, cut off a finger to
demonstrate that you killed this guy." So in fact,
they did cut off a finger.
One of the things that happened is they cut off the
finger initially, and as they were leaving the field,
the finger must have dropped, so they realized when they
got back to the van that they didn't have the finger,
so they had to go back and cut off another finger.
So, when we recovered the body of Mark Byrd,
there was actually two fingers that were severed
and that's why that had happened.
Byrd has been taken care of by the A.B.T. brothers.
They bring the bloody clothes to the ranch
where Destiny is waiting.
Now she needs to do her part.
Destiny Feathers and another A.B.T. member
were ordered to take the bloody clothing and
the shotgun and dispose of this evidence.
Growing up in an A.B.T. household,
if you will, you know,
she had seen the notoriety.
She knows what this gang is all about.
This is something I think she, she, emulated
and that she wanted to be a part of, very much so.
Many Featherwoods share this common thread.
I started getting high at seven with my dad, dude.
By twelve, I was shooting dope.
At fourteen, I was kicking in doors and fucking
just curb stomping [beep].
♪
[coughs] Excuse my French.
All six involved in the Mark Byrd homicide
plead guilty.
Feathers gets six and a half years in the pen
as an accessory after the fact.
Several years later, I did have a chance to meet her
during our Aryan Circle racketeering case,
in which an Aryan Circle member,
William Chunn "Big Head," was being prosecuted
in Beaumont in the Eastern District of Texas.
William Chunn, aka Big Head,
is an upper board member of the Aryan Circle.
One of the questions I had for Destiny was,
"Why are you at this trial?
Aren't you an A.B.T. Featherwood?"
She goes, "No, I'm actually involved in
a relationship with Big Head,
and I have a child with him."
I shouldn't be amazed at all,
because we see how the Featherwood vacillates
between these two particular white supremacist gangs.
Big Head might have a child with Destiny,
but he'll use any Featherwood that he can.
He's also been involved with an Aryan Circle
Featherwood named Becky Westbrook.
So Becky was an older white female.
To me, she kind of seems like a young grandma.
I mean, she's very unassuming.
She got involved in dealing with multiple gang members
of the Aryan Circle and having communications
with a lot of them.
We were able to see most of those communications
because, of course, they were getting intercepted
throughout the system.
And, he began writing, and communicating,
and corresponding with Becky Westbrook.
Before she knows it, she's romantically involved
with different leaders of his group,
and she's doing exactly what it is
that they wanted her to do, which is to kind of
pass on communications from one to the other.
♪
Yazoo City, Mississippi.
For over a year, Becky Westbrook
and Aryan Circle brother Malachi David Wren
write letters back and forth.
Oftentimes, in the prison system,
they have what's called the pen pal system.
You know, the type of women that do that, you know,
I can't get into all their motives,
but what I can simply say is that
oftentimes they're lonely.
And then they start to kind of talk about their beliefs
in these communications, right?
So many times, some of these Featherwoods
may start to buy into what it is that these guys
are talking about and what it is they're selling.
Wren's Featherwood, Westbrook,
helps him plot to bring Suboxone,
aka 'subs' into the pen.
But Carrollton police officer, Steve Lair,
is tailing her in a bigger Aryan Circle case
with the ATF.
I saw somebody that was
a single parent to a grandchild.
The routine was take her to school...
right after dropping her off at school,
she would go to the post office...
and collect all the mail because, again,
you have to realize she's conducting a lot of
three-way letters for the Aryan Circle.
Oftentimes, she would go back home
or she'd stop and get gas,
but it seemed like really a quiet, mundane life,
other than the fact that she was facilitating assaults
and murders at the direction of the Aryan Circle.
Letters Westbrook sends in 2018
pass along orders to Aryan Circle members
to light up a rival gang.
Oftentimes, when an inmate starts a relationship with
someone that ultimately becomes a Featherwood,
it may be just for the communication piece of it.
Alright? But then as things start to evolve,
what occurs is the female starts to become manipulated.
The gang member can now simply see that, hey,
listen, I can use this Featherwood.
Law enforcement pours over
her ingoing and outgoing mail,
and finds green light...
after green light
that Westbrook makes sure gets issued.
Did she know the full scope of what she was doing?
There's no one that can really tell,
but we certainly believed that the communications
that she was passing on, she had at least
some insight as to what that involved and what was
supposed to happen with respect to those letters.
Westbrook is all in, forwarding AC members'
messages signed, "M.H.I.C.L.,"

"My Honor Is Called Loyalty."
"My Honor Is Called Loyalty,"

The victim is moved to another pod for her safety.
But Game Over's wife, Jenna Thorton,
aka "Jenna Doll," also happens to be
in that same pod,
and she's ordered to finish off the assault.
Stephany relayed the message to Jenna.
Jenna goes over to the five gallon water bucket
that they have full of ice for the inmates,
so they could put ice in their drinks.
She picks the bucket up,
walks into the cell of the victim.

[cheering] Woo!
And starts beating her in the head with it.

Shortly after that, another inmate walks out
with the five gallon bucket.
♪
Puts it back where it was
so it didn't look like anything happened,
and they went on with their business.
♪
They knew exactly what they were doing.
They did it with a badge of honor.
It was like another notch on their sleeve.
It gave them more credibility,
and made them think that their boyfriend,
or even the one's husband,
was going to even be proud of her.
Sergeant Putney hauls in
the two female inmates in question.
But in true Featherwood fashion, Jenna won't snitch.
She is a brutal...
Featherwood.
♪
I didn't make it past the hall with her.
I told her, "Hey, I need to talk to you."
That's when she kindly told me
to go fuck myself and to fuck off.
I was like, "Well, okay then."
But Stephany Baxter, however,
lets down her guard.
Stephany is actually a very, very friendly girl.
She is one that I would say is
very manipulative with her behavior.
She uses her personality,
'cause she's got a very bubbly personality.
She told me what she did
in a hypothetical situation, and...
I was trying not to laugh because I don't want to
come across as a, as a smart ass in these.
♪
I see them as true, hard criminals...
that are proud of what they believe in,
full of hate...
and would do whatever they were asked to do
to further the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.
But when law enforcement talks to Game Over,
they're about to find out something unusual about the
relationship between him and the two Featherwoods.
Wichita Falls, Texas.
♪
Game Over, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas member
who gave the green light for both his girlfriend,
Stephany Baxter, and his wife,
Jenna Thorton, to smash on sight...
gets eight years for engaging in criminal activity.
While Baxter adds seven years to her sentence,
Thorton gets away with only a five-year prison sentence.
It was a love triangle.
Jenna Thorton had a
jailhouse marriage with Game.
But Baxter had been out of jail
in the meantime and been with Game.
It's weird to see two women
carry out a hit for the
same guy that they're with...
but they're both locked up at the same time.
You know, despite all the criminal activity
they're participating in, to continue that
love relationship or that loyalty
to each other is just something
I think intrigues a lot of people.
The fact that the Featherwoods operate
on the downlow makes it easier for them to
create traps for law enforcement.
The Featherwoods are not really considered
to be a threat.
I think it's a dangerous attitude to take because...
they're known for their heinous crimes.
They've murdered police before.
When it comes to dealing with these Featherwoods,
I would say that, you know, you're gonna make
a grave mistake if you discount them or you
don't take them as serious as you would a bro.
Some Featherwoods are willing to risk life on the inside
to uphold their motto of 'Til The Toe Tag',
meaning loyalty 'til death...
and drugs play a part.
But that's not the only thing
that keeps the Featherwoods around.
What happens is the woman literally becomes addicted
to this man, and she wants his attention.
It usually takes a woman seven attempts
to get away from a man
that she is trauma bonded to
because the effect on the brain
is just like heroin addiction.
A lot of these people are given opportunities when
they're sentenced to go to a rehab facility over prison.
Most will choose the prison over the rehab facility
because they don't want to get out of that life.
The lifestyle's way more addicting than the drugs.
Dude, I've kicked meth, heroin, all of it,
and that shit didn't have nothing on this.
Former Featherwood, Jewel,
has advice for any young women
thinking about becoming a Featherwood.
Yeah, it's fun, it's magical.
There's money, there's guns, there's dope,
there's fuckin' badass gangsters who...
at the drop of a fuckin' word can have
somebody killed, but...
Don't, man.
Because once you're in, you're in.
And when you get out...
not everybody makes it out, bro,
but if you do make it out, your life is fucked forever.
