The purpose of this project is to explain the need for creating a handbook of
inmate tattoos and their meanings for correctional officers. In order to accomplish this
goal, the history of the art form of tattooing, the history of the Federal Bureau of Prisons,
and the history of prison gangs within the Federal Bureau of Prisons have been discussed.
However, an important goal of this thesis is to provide correctional officers with
information so that they have the ability to recognize inmate tattoos and interpret their
meanings. This study was then narrowed to focus on the five Disruptive Groups that
currently exist within the Federal Bureau of Prisons. A collection of federal, state, and
private sources were used to complete this project.
A handbook for correctional officers of prison gang tattoos and their meanings
was created during this project. The handbook focuses on the five Disruptive Groups
previously mentioned. The study also proposes the creation of a centralized database that
would track all inmate tattoos. The main idea behind this creation is to help monitor the
criminal activity of prison gangs and to better track their movement.
Four categories of inmates will exist within the database. The first category of
inmates that will exist within the database are members of Disruptive Groups. The second
category of inmates within the database will be those inmates who have gang affiliated
tattoos. The third category of inmates within the database will be inmates who have
tattoos but the tattoos are not gang affiliated. The fourth category of inmates within the
database will be inmates who do not have tattoos. |
