While a gang can be any group of individuals, the word "gang" also has a specific legal definition. This usage regards organized actions by a group that may include illegal activities. The US freedom of association means that simply belonging to a gang is not illegal (except for a convicted felon).
Being a gang member by itself is rarely a crime.
But if you've committed any crimes as a gang member (and assisting criminals is also a crime), you may go to jail for those - if they are found out.
If they commit a gang-related crime or the gang itself is prosecuted for crimes as a whole, yes.

Why should gangs be considered part of organized crime?
This is an opionion question and is not allowed on WikiAnswers, but I will answer it in my opinion. A gang is a formed group. Forming a group is an organized act. Also any crime which is done in concert (that is, with the assistance of another or more persons) is also an organized crime. So if you commit a crime on behalf of a gang, it is an organized crime.
