The Soldiers of Aryan Culture (SAC), sometimes referred to erroneously as Soldiers of the Aryan Culture or Soldiers of an Aryan Culture, is a large white supremacist prison gang in the United States.[11]

Initially based in its founding location of Utah, SAC has since branched out across the nation, now having members in several state correctional facilities along with the federal prison system.
