Southern Brotherhood
The Southern Brotherhood is a large, Alabama-based white supremacist prison gang. Gang members use a variety of different symbols and tattoos, but the most common is their "patch" or shield tattoo. This tattoo consists of a shield emblem (often superimposed over axes or swords) divided into four sections, each with a different symbol inside. These symbols can include the letters "SB," swastikas, SS lightning bolts, the number 23 (or 14/23), the Confederate flag or other symbols.
