Milton Jones(II)
Milton "Butch" Jones played a central role as one of the creators and key figures of Young Boys Incorporated (YBI). His upbringing was deeply entrenched in a life overshadowed by drugs and violence. In his own account, Jones vividly describes circumstances of poverty and his participation in the drug trade that served as the catalyst for launching Young Boys Incorporated. Teaming up with Raymond "Baby Ray" Peoples, Mark "Block" Marshall, and Dwayne "Wonderful Wayne" Davis in 1978, Jones laid the groundwork for the organization.
His motivation to establish YBI stemmed from a desire to create a structured group that could generate profits more effectively from illegal activities. Taking charge of enforcing the gang's regulations, Jones approached his role with fervor. Like many drug kingpins, he operated with a sense of invincibility, yet remained cautious about the methods employed in YBI's operations. Throughout his narrative, Jones attempts to rationalize and justify his criminal involvement.
Under Jones's direction, YBI evolved into a smoothly operating business that adeptly evaded both federal and local law enforcement. Despite Jones's arrest and the dismantling of YBI, he found a way to continue some of its operations from prison in Texas until 1984, facilitated by his wife Portia, who remained in Detroit, actively involved in the enterprise.
