Kirksey Nix & The Dixie Mafia - The Southern Combine Biloxi Mississippi The The Sherrys Murder Case
Organized crime has long held a mystique, partly fueled by Hollywood's portrayal in movies such as Goodfellas, The Untouchables, Casino, and The Irishman. These films highlight famous mobsters and criminal syndicates, shaping our understanding of the mafia. However, America harbors many lesser known, yet equally powerful, criminal syndicates.
These groups, often labeled as mafiosi or mafias, operate under strict codes of secrecy, profitability, and power maintenance through corruption. While the New York and Chicago families saw their influence wane in the 1980s which started during the fifties, a new form of criminal organization emerged during the mid-fifties, particularly within prison walls. Syndicates from Mexico, Latin America, and the southern United States gained significant power. These groups, including the Dixie Mafia, orchestrated their operations both behind bars and on the streets, maintaining an iron grip on their enterprises through secrecy and corruption. The Dixie Mafia, a criminal organization with roots in the American South, exemplifies this secretive and dangerous world. Unlike the more famous northern families, the Dixie Mafia thrived by leveraging political corruption and violence. They were known for their brutal tactics, which included targeting politicians, lawyers, judges, and even senators. Their reach extended far beyond the streets and deep into the corridors of power. At the heart of the Dixie Mafia was Kirksey McCord Nix Junior (born 1943), a man whose criminal career encapsulates the syndicate's ruthless efficiency.
Nix's notoriety began with his suspected involvement in the assassination attempt on Sheriff Buford Pusser and the murder of Pusser's wife on August 12, 1967. Despite repeated accusations, Nix has consistently refused to comment on Pusser's claims. Nix's criminal activities did not end there. In 1972, he was convicted of murdering Frank Corso, a New Orleans grocery executive, during a break-in at Corso's home. This conviction led to Nix serving a life sentence without parole. Even behind bars, Nix continued to exert influence over the Dixie Mafia, orchestrating operations and maintaining control over the syndicate. The Dixie Mafia's operations highlight a crucial aspect of modern organized crime: the ability to run extensive criminal enterprises from within prison walls.
This adaptability has allowed the syndicate to maintain its grip on power, ensuring its profitability and longevity. The group's leaders, like Nix, use their time in prison to solidify their control, manage their affairs, and direct their subordinates. When I first started my channel, I wanted to explore various organized crime structures, especially the powerful syndicates in the southern United States. These groups, including the Southern Mafia and other organized crime organizations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, wielded immense power. What made them so formidable was the symbiotic bond between these groups. They understood their roles and shared core values: respect, power, and capability. Respect was crucial, power was essential, and the ability to handle political corruption was a must. This article delves into the dynamics of these crime groups, showcasing their strength and influence during that era.

    Organized crime in Detroit far predates anything here.. There was of course the Purple gang- mainly run by Abe and Ben Bernstein was an equal opportunity crime syndicate, working with Jewish young men, blacks and some Irish.. They were opposed by the the corporate criminal Ford security operation run by Harry Bennet directly under and answering to Henry Ford himself.. The Ford special services department concentrated on bullying and threatening Ford workers, and killing those who they decided they could not intimidate. Usually the true complexity of the Detroit organized crime system purposely lies about the involvement in organized crime of business corporations and so it does here too. best Bruce Peek
