Security threat groups or, "prison gangs" pose a daily problem within the walls of our national prisons and officials must constantly devise new methods in dealing with an ever growing population of inmates. The difference in dealing with multiple gangs is that prison officials focus on the group behavior rather than centering on individual involvement. With the focus on the whole group, one then must develop plans or procedures when controlling various threats within a correctional facility. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the methods used to control security threat groups within the correctional system. .
With the increase of street gangs, prisons see a rise in gang activity such as race related crime, drug trafficking, and inmate protection. "Today's street gangs are becoming tomorrow's prison gangs. Institutional managers report that the "drive-by shooting mentality" has moved into the prisons and jails as the young offenders have been convicted of various gang-related offenses." (Carlson, Peter M., Jan. 2001). Although there is a correlation between the two, researchers are clear of the differences between street and prison gangs. Curry and Decker distinguish them by highlighting those gangs within the institutional setting as being more organized and more disciplined than their counterparts in the community. They note that there are relationships between the two groupings, but "it is not a seamless move from one to the other, and the differences can be quite profound." (Curry & Decker, 1998).
If there is a distinguishable difference between the two types of security threat groups, what is being done to control them? For over 50 years prison officials have dealt with the problem of gangs within the cell block walls and over the years it has evolved and shaping due to changing times, "but all jurisdictions today continue to utilize variants of two philosophies: suppression and intervention.
