Title: Recognizing and Controlling Security Threat Groups
Headings: 

Content: This can consist of controlled housing, administrative segregation, inmate (s) formally being charged with violating institutional rules, loss of privileges, continuing to develop new strategies for controlling security threat groups, monitoring of inmate telephone calls excluding legal and/or privilege, and improving communications at all levels. Everyone in law enforcement needs to note; our prisons and jails often have more comprehensive collection of gang intelligence information then local law enforcement. We must put forth efforts in continuing to work toward improving communications with other agencies. I recognize at times this is often a closed door. Yet, this does not prohibit corrections from continuing to reach out. The use of effective communication is a powerful tool and can be advantageous to all. Some of our security threat group inmates validated are going to be released. This can consist of transfer to another prison, discharge, parole, early release, etc. When this occurs an information packet can be provided to officials.
