Correctional officers have special concerns when it comes to identifying criminal gang members. To maintain order in the facilities, they must know which groups are in conflict with each other and what threats these sets pose an officer working in the institution. A number of states and the Federal Bureau of Prisons have determined that when an identifiable collection of individuals poses a hazard to order inside their penal systems, they will label these subjects a security threat group (STG).
