Which category is included among STG identifiers?

• A. Clothing, jewelry, and/or dress
• B. Colors reference only
• C. Nickname only
• D. Hand signs only

Answer: (A)

STG identifiers are signals staff use to spot potential gang involvement. Clothing, jewelry, and/or dress is a valid category because inmates may signal gang membership through what they wear or carry—colors, symbols on apparel or jewelry, and overall dress style can indicate affiliation. This kind of visual cue is a concrete, observable indicator that staff can recognize during routine checks and interactions. Other signals like hand signs or nicknames exist, but they’re different types of indicators, not the clothing category itself. Colors by themselves aren’t a standalone category since they’re typically part of the broader attire or symbols a person uses. So, attire and accessories provide a clear, identifiable category that fits STG identification.
