Wade Wilson's Prison Gang Connections: Inside the Chilling World of the ‘Unforgiven'
In the dark underbelly of Florida's prison system, a sinister network of white supremacists known as the "Unforgiven" has been quietly expanding its influence for decades.
This violent gang, founded in 1986, has now been thrust into the spotlight due to its alleged connection to convicted killer Wade Wilson. As Wilson awaits his fate on death row, we delve into the disturbing world of the Unforgiven and its role in his criminal saga.
The Birth of a Brotherhood
The Unforgiven gang emerged from the depths of Florida's correctional facilities in 1986, quickly establishing itself as the state's largest white supremacist prison gang. Built on a foundation of hate and racial ideology, the group's main symbol leaves little doubt about its beliefs: an interlocking Iron Cross and swastika, with SS lightning bolts at its center.

A Code of Hate
Members of the Unforgiven are indoctrinated into a vicious form of white supremacist ideology that permeates every aspect of their existence. The gang requires its followers to study and spread "Aryan philosophy," pay dues, and commit violent acts to gain and maintain membership. This toxic blend of racism and violence creates a brotherhood forged in hatred.
Wade Wilson's Alleged Ties
Wade Wilson's connection to the Unforgiven came to light during his attempted escape from Lee County Jail in September 2020. Court documents revealed that Wilson was allegedly linked to the gang through another inmate, Loren Curtis Sawyer. This association raised alarming questions about the extent of Wilson's involvement with the white supremacist group and its potential influence on his heinous crimes.
Symbols of Allegiance
The Unforgiven's members proudly display their affiliation through a variety of tattoos, including swastikas, Iron Crosses, and SS bolts. Wilson himself sports several swastika tattoos, including one on the right side of his head and another below his right eye. These visible markers of hate serve as a chilling reminder of the ideology that fuels the Unforgiven's actions.
Beyond Prison Walls
While the Unforgiven originated within the prison system, its reach extends far beyond cell blocks. The gang actively seeks to expand its power, territory, and reputation both inside and outside of correctional facilities. This broader ambition makes the Unforgiven a particularly dangerous organization, with the potential to spread its toxic ideology into communities across Florida.
A United Front of Hate
The Unforgiven's mission goes beyond simple criminal activities. The gang aims to create a united front to "resist and rebel" against what they perceive as the "constant and almost brutal victimization of Whites" in the Florida penal system. This twisted worldview serves as a rallying cry for members, fueling their commitment to the gang's violent and racist agenda.
The Future of the Unforgiven
As Wade Wilson's case continues to make headlines, law enforcement and prison officials face the ongoing challenge of combating the Unforgiven's influence. The gang's deep roots in the Florida prison system and its ability to recruit new members make it a persistent threat to both inmate and public safety.
The story of Wade Wilson and his alleged connection to the Unforgiven serves as a stark reminder of the dangerous ideologies that can thrive within prison walls. As society grapples with issues of racism and criminal justice reform, the existence of groups like the Unforgiven underscores the complex challenges that lie ahead in creating a more just and equitable system for all.
