Felton spent eleven years (1990-2001) in prison for the attempted murder of a taxicab driver during a road rage incident. Road rage is the behavior by a driver of an automobile or other motor vehicle which thus causes collisions or incidents on roadways According to Felton, his incarceration provided him with an opportunity to observe how different races reacted when integration was enforced and societal stigmas over racism were not in action to civilize conduct. He claims that the whites in prison were under a continual state of siege by the other races, and that he was welcomed by whites, while blacks tried to rape him (his prison sentence was extended for attacking two blacks who made sexual advances). [3] In prison, he became an organizer for white supremacist day groups, organizing book reviews and exercise while obscuring his ancestry. He also found inspiration from the White Order of Thule.

After learning of his ancestry, many of Felton's comrades agreed to testify against him. He states that he no longer believes wholeheartedly in the cause that once became his reason for life, but he has not renounced or distanced himself from his former views. Reactions to the story of Leo Felton have been mixed, with strong support from many black commentators who claim that in a race-blind society all should be able to claim whatever racial ancestry one likes[2] He has faced disbelief or intrigue from many whites and constant mockery from both racist and antiracist groups. After separation from his former comrades, Felton wrote a letter in which he criticized his parents and said he is "ever an unrepentant enemy of the multicultural myth. "[4]
