Yes teardrops under the eyes are signs that a prisoner has taken a life one drop for each kill, these represent the only tears they have shed for their victims, This is very common in Prison's

Answer 2

Many of Managua’s gang names try to corroborate the marginal stigma with a scruffy and dangerous-sounding image: The Bloody Ones, Scumbags, The Possessed, Wet Dogs, The Nazis, Red Devils, Pumas, Hellions, Scorpions, The Uncombed and The Evil Ones. Some of the gang members’ nicknames strive for the same unkempt and dangerous reputation: Rattlesnake, Tiger ****, Baldy, Seven Shits, Skull, Black Hand, Bat Crap, Big Phantom, Crow, Three Eyes. While these nicknames evoke marginalization and low self-esteem in others, they constitute a kind of password received from the group. They are a source of prestige and respect, a way of inverting the slander into a positive sign.

Like the nicknames, the tattoos convert stigma into emblem. They are an existential and social investment etched into the skin. Like Californian prisoners, Managua gang members use them as a subversive act to reassert ownership of and authority over their bodies and identities and challenge the system that is trying to control them. In short, tattoos are a way to control their definition of themselves and their experiences; an antidote to the chaos surrounding them.

Reguillo maintains that if one thing characterizes the youth collectives that are part of the exclusion and marginalization processes, it is their capacity to transform the negative views of them into something positive. Among the examples she cites is the extreme dramatization of certain identity constituents, such as body language, the transgressing use of discourse or the transformation of drug use into a test of “virility” and a challenge to “good consciences.” Another example is the prestige attained in some gangs by the length of one’s prison record.

Answer 3

its called being psycho. just cos you have a tattoo doesnt mean ur gonna kill/have killed anyone, and there are a ton of people who dont have so much as a freckle in the Penn for mass murder. prison tattoos are just a way of prison life, theres no selection process that only murderers get them or anything.

Answer 4

Some people do, but what I've seen the most were people who died and they do it as a sign of respect. The people who killed people they do it to gain i guess respect from others who know about it. As a way of saying "don't mess with me".

Answer 5

The tear under the eye generally means that person has killed someone in jail, but no, there's no rule that anyone has to get one.

Answer 6

i've read that spider webs mean that.....and it tells you how many people they've killed based on how many rings are around the spiderweb. It also serves as a "don't mess with me" warning to those they see as a threat.

Answer 7
