Title: Recognizing and Controlling Security Threat Groups
Headings: 

Content: This includes other inmates, staff, victims and victim’s family, general public, etc. While maintaining the above, we cannot become complacent and ignore the remainder of the inmate corrections population. Staff also must be aware of those security threat group members who want to renounce their gang affiliation and/or membership. Does the institution have a process in place to do this? Corrections needs to be prepared and creative in being able to control for security threat groups. Unfortunately, these security threat groups continue to thrive. Many prisons are beginning to experience an influx of new inmates. Some of these inmates are from other countries and entering our correctional systems. Some additional characteristics consist of them being extremely violent and having a military background. We know what security risks these are and must adapt to deal with them.
