Universal Aryan Brotherhood

The Universal Aryan Brotherhood (UAB), also known as the Universal Family, are an active neo-Nazi white supremacist prison gang in the United States. Primarily based out of Oklahoma, the gang also has members in federal custody, as well as in several states across the country.

The UAB modeled itself after the principles and ideologies of the original Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, but despite the similar name, the Universal Aryan Brotherhood has no connection to said gang. It is also unrelated to the United Aryan Brotherhood (also based in Oklahoma).

The Universal Aryan Brotherhood are one of the many white supremacist prison gangs across the United States. Much like the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas and the Soldiers of Aryan Culture, the UAB operates both inside and outside of prison walls.

Members of the UAB identify themselves through distinctive criminal tattoos, as well as red and black clothing The gang's particular insignia consists of a dual set of sig runes adopted from the infamous Schutzstaffel, which is also used by many other unrelated white power groups and neo-Nazi organizations. An additional expression used by the Universal Aryan Brotherhood is the numerical code "2112" (also written as "21-12"), referencing the 21st letter of the alphabet, 'u' for 'universal', in combination with the first and second letters of the alphabet (1, 2) which each correspond to 'a' and 'b' for 'Aryan' and 'Brotherhood'. Likewise, some UAB members sport tattoos of the letters "T.T.B.B.E", an acronym for the phrase "Till The Bitter Bloody End". Another acronymic slogan used by the gang is "U.F.F.U.", meaning "Universal Forever, Forever Universal".

Two distinct subsets of the UAB exist: UAB 21 WoodGrain and the UAB Universal Family.[unreliable source]

Membership is exclusive to white prisoners. Members, who often refer to themselves as "Universal Soldiers", adhere to militaristic rules.

Universal Aryan Brotherhood’s top echelon, known as the Main Council, directs gang activities and controls sub-councils in smaller prisons. Most of the Main Council members are imprisoned inside the maximum-security Oklahoma State Penitentiary-McAlester.

The UAB recruits by offering protection to white inmates in return for joining the gang. In order to be considered for UAB membership, a prisoner is required to be sponsored by a fully initiated member. Said sponsoring UAB member would then be responsible for conducting a background investigation of the prospect as a way of ensuring that he was not a sex offender, a law enforcement cooperator, or otherwise undesirable for gang membership.
