What factors do correctional facilities use to determine whether or not an inmate is a gang member?

What will be an ideal response?


Institutional gang investigators collect detailed information about inmates, which is then used to rate inmates and determine whether or not they should be classified as gang members. Factors that are used to make this determination include symbols, documentation from informants, debriefing reports, written materials, photographs, staff information, information from other agencies, association with STG affiliates, gang-affiliated visitors, self-admission by the inmate, and tattoos.
