Basic Survival Techniques for Incarceration

Entering prison for the first time can be a frightening experienced The noise level is what strikes you and it is unlike any noise that you have ever heard before. It's human noise and clamor. That, coupled with the sight of those dreary bars, made me think, "Man, what have I gotten myself into here?!" When you have entered prison, you have entered a world unto itself. Each prison is different. What applies to one prison certainly will not apply to another.  Generally, certain common things will take place.  You will be taken off of a bus or other transport, and led into the prison.  While this is taking place, other inmates will be “sizing you up”, and jeering at you, trying to intimidate you through fences, windows, etc.  Keep your eyes forward, do NOT respond, and ignore it.  Period.

A TON of useful information!
