Can someone help me out?

Doing a project for my Anthropology class, and I decided to do one on the history of tattoos. I've almost got it done, but I need some information about tattoos in the American Prison System, namely racist group tattoos and the subculture behind prison-tattoos. I cannot find any sites about this. . . can someone give me a hand?

Thanks lots to anyone who replies!!

I did a quick search and found a couple sites that look promising here are the links...
http://www.adl.org/hate_symbols/prison_tattoos.html
http://www.convictsandcops.com/tattoo.htm

Hope that helps!

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Thanks GS!

I already used the first link, I'll make some overheads of the graphics. Nice and useful.

The second one is interesting to read, too.
