9 ‘Jacked In’īeing “jacked in” is a street-savvy term for committing an auto theft in the hopes of becoming a gang member.
He suffered irreparable blunt force trauma to his head and died at the hospital an hour later. In 2010, a senior from the University of Arkansas was beaten for three minutes as part of a jump-in for the Bloods gang. If he doesn’t, he can try again on another day when his bruises and wounds have healed. The prospect must make it to the end of the line while still on his feet. Most gangs have a variation of this method, including “The Line.” Candidates are kicked and punched repeatedly as they walk between two lines of gang members.
The wannabe must withstand the beating as well as fight back. It involves the wannabe gangster fighting a specific number of the gang’s members for a certain amount of time. Probably the most common method of gang initiation is the classic “beatdown” (aka being “jumped in”).
