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 organisations.

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. The four-part series airs every Sunday at 10 PM starting March 17.

The series is an exclusive look at real life lawbreakers from across the globe and their paradox of organized crimes. From Latin America, to the USA 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 series begins in El Salvador, home of the second highest homicide rate in the world, where rival gangs, 18^th Street and MS-13, are engaged in a bloody war. Will they ever call truce? Then in Poland, home to more than 500 criminal gangs, Lou sets off on a mission to infiltrate the shadowy underworld of 'The Grypsers'. Also known as 'The Smart Ones,' they are a notoriously private and secretive prison outfit that forms approximately 70 per cent of the Polish prison population. The big question in Lou's mind: Do The Grypsers control the Polish Mafia outside prison or does the Polish Mafia control them?

Along the way he discovers a prison in the Philippines which is run by its own 20,000 prisoners and a Camorra gang, whose infighting is leading to complete anarchy on the streets of Italy. At least 300 years old, the Camorra was reputedly built on tenets of respect, honour and straight business, yet these days, they thrive on chaos. How did they evolve to their current state of anarchy?

Lou visits Albuquerque, USA, to meet the Burqueños, one of the world's newest and fastest growing prison gangs. Witness first-hand their violent and secret recruitment processes of new members. While there, Lou discovers how the Burqueños' power is threatening blood rival TCK, and attempts to score an exclusive interview with Jeff Padilla, the menacing gangster, mafia boss and supposed shot caller for the Burqueños. With the Burqueños' strict code of silence, Lou certainly has his work cut out for him.
