How many years do you go to jail for being in a gang?

In Canada and the United States prison sentences of 10 or 12 years for active involvement in criminal gangs such as the Mara Salvatrucha, Mafia, the Outfit, Bandidos and the Hell's Angels, are not uncommon. Gangsterism is not taken lightly in these countries.

If you are convicted of other crimes, especially if they involve violence, kidnapping or violations of children, your sentence will probably be doubled if you are part of a known criminal organization.
