Security Threat Groups is a group of organization of prison convicts. Informally, they are also called prison gangs. This is because both the groups pose significant threat in whichever area they operate. When the gangs roamed free outside the prison they created innumerable nuisances and similarly the security threat groups are itself a menace to the protection of prison officials.
