corrections week 7

Just as gangs pose a threat to law enforcement agencies in free  society, Security Threat Groups (STGs) pose a threat to the security of  an incarceration facility for correctional agencies. The same  individuals that are members of gangs in free society comprise the  membership of a STG in prison.

In your initial response, define what constitutes a STG in an  incarceration facility. Next, discuss the reasons why inmates that were  not part of a gang in free society may decide to join a STG while  incarcerated. Finally, identify at least one strategy that correctional  administrators might implement to control and monitor STGs within a  correctional facility.

 Initial posts must be a minimum of 500 words not counting the repeating  of the question or reference list, and incorporate material from at  least two (2) cited sources
