S.O.S.  A small group of convicts from the state of Florida's department of corrections. Established in 1998-99 in Gulf Correctional Institution by Shawn Gurley aka "the kid", Kevin Nix and Alvin Porter aka "jojo". Between 1999 and 2000 while at Gulf C.I. they initiated very few members. As of 2010 when Gurley was released from FDOC there was less than 30 known members of which only Gurley or Porter could initiate. Nix was released in 2002 but was involved in a Bay county jail hostage situation that got him 15 years in 2005. Porter has since been released in July 2015. The 3 codes of conduct. The 21 laws of relativity. The 7 principles of perception were all created by Gurley who remained the leader throughout his stay in GoT of and upon his released. S.O.S. also tagged as 19.15,19 or by the letter H is a group of like minded criminals that follow no religion. Obey only laws set forth within themselves and hold no allegiance except to themselves and their families. A mainly non-violent group of convicts more likely to sell drugs than extort or steal this group defies the watering down most gangs suffer due to the inability of anyone but the original leaders to initiate members. As the inmates are released few are replaced. Upon meeting they have a greeting and a grasp individualized for each member. No ranks officially exist except that only Gurley and Porter can bring in New recruits. They created signed signals to alert each other from afar for puroses of alerting one another of situations. The group is multi-racial though reportedly only 2 members are African-American. Porter being one. Marlin Hawkings aka Kaos being the second. Other known members: Joseph Wallace, Jack Wereski aka Juvy, William Carlton aka OB, Robert Lehmann, Nicholas Hulsey aka Short Dog. The complete explanation of the name has yet to be determined.
