the rest of the brothers of the lodge, so to speak. i had this put on my face when i was a youngster. you understand? i wanted to make a political statement. i also wanted to impress my girlfriend, but it impressed her the wrong way and she got rid of me. why do you wear the hat? because there s people in here that tell me the thing on my face is not cool and they don t want to have to look at it. so i wear the hat and that s peace in the valley. does that explain anything? but none of our crews ever had a tattoo encounter quite like the one at utah state prison. i will never forget the moment that i first set eyes on curtis algire. it s really quite shocking to see the ss lightning bolts, swastikas, nazi imagery, and with the tattoos all over his face, first time i saw him peeking out of that cell i was definitely intimidated.
