Peckerwood

Peckerwood, derived from an old racial epithet aimed at whites, has evolved to become a term used to refer to white prisoners, particularly white prisoners belonging to the white supremacist prison gang subculture. Often the term is shortened to "wood" and all such prisoners in a particular prison might be referred to as the "woodpile." Female members or associates are referred to as featherwoods.
