"bloods" is a universal term used to refer to west-coast bloods and united blood nation (ubn, also known as the east-coast bloods). while these groups are traditionally distinct entities both refer to themselves as "bloods". the profits of crack distribution allowed the bloods to spread in other states. ubn started in 1993 in rikers island's george motchan detention center (gmdc) to form protection from latin kings and ñetas who were targeting the african-american gang members. ubn is a loose confederation of predominantly african-american street gangs. once they were released from prison, the ubn leaders went back to their neighborhoods in new york where they retained the bloods name and started recruiting members. ubn has between 7,000 and 15,000 members in the eastern usa region. the gang makes its income through various criminal activities like distribution of crack cocaine, smuggling of drugs into prison, etc. and its gang members are involved in various criminal activities.
