Barry Mills

Barry Byron Mills (born July 7, 1948 in Windsor , California - † July 8, 2018 in Florence , Colorado , also known as The Baron ) was a leader of the criminal prisoner gang Aryan Brotherhood (German: Aryan Brotherhood , also AB or The Brand ) . Mills had killed a fellow prisoner in 1979 for betraying the Aryan Brotherhood in drug trafficking . He was sentenced to two life imprisonment for this. Mills eventually founded the three-person group, the so-called "Federal Commission" , which coordinated the American-wide activities of the Aryan Brotherhood and gave orders for the murder of other prisoners within the Brotherhood.

In March 2006, Mills was charged with three other Aryan Brotherhood leaders, including Tyler Bingham , for crimes such as 32 count murder, conspiracy and drug trafficking. This trial was the result of a six-year FBI investigation completed in 2002, and the start of one of the largest capital crime trials the federal agency has ever fought. It was directed against 40 members of the AB, including at least 16 defendants who face the death penalty. The aim of the investigations and the trials was to destroy the Brotherhood. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO Act) was used in this process, as with other criminal organizations in the United States .

After the jury could not agree on an appropriate sentence, Mills was not sentenced to death but served a life sentence in ADX Florence Federal Prison in Florence , Colorado , USA.
