Prison 101 Tip #7

Today's tip for surviving a prison sentence comes from personal experience. I had to learn these lessons the hard way but that doesn't mean that anyone willing to seek the knowledge of others has to do the same. Sometimes reaching out to others to gain valuable insight is the only way to prepare. Once your inside the walls it's too late to ask for advice or guidance. No one will help you and if you ask too many questions you will either get killed or taken advantage of. So, maybe hiring someone such as myself to provide you with the knowledge you need or to help you properly put all your affairs in order before being sentenced is an option or you can always read my blogs. Either way, if your going into a prison with a dangerous reputation and you yourself aren't a fighter or killer you had better adapt or prepare to get used. Either as a sexual slave or for your money and commissary, so if you don't find either of these ideas appealing you had better either buy a name for yourself or make one on your own. There are multiple options with regards to this, 1. You can fight, which I recommend. Just find someone who isn't affiliated with any of the gangs and fuck them up, bad. Use a weapon if you have to but don't use a knife or shank. Hit them with something hard and make sure you do it in front of everyone either in the chow hall or at recreation. You will of course go to segregation but at least no one will fuck with you afterwards. 2. You can join a prison gang, but this can lead to more problems than it is worth like being affiliated and going to an SRG unit or gang unit. 3. You can pay for protection, but once again people will be using you for money and if the money runs out so does the protection. Inmates won't respect you and who knows how much protection you will actually receive. If someone wants to get to you they will, no matter who is supposedly watching your back. Your best bet is to just man up and not take any shit from anyone. Don't walk around with a chip on your shoulder looking for a fight but if someone really steps to you, do what you have to do to handle it. Pick your battles, don't assault everyone for every perceivable insult because too many tickets and trips to segregation will lead to your level getting bumped up or you going to spend time in chronic offenders units. The higher your inmate level the worse life gets. High level prisons are where the most dangerous inmates are housed and also the ones doing the most time. These are places you don't want to be. Locked in a cell with someone doing triple life for murdering their entire family is no where for someone who committed check fraud or some white collar crime to do their time. Your level drops at specified intervals as certain amounts of your sentence are completed, usually around every thirty percent of your time. Once you hit a nice easy level two somewhere you can apply for outside clearance to go work in the community or a half way house. Your behavior will also affect whether or not you receive any "good time," or time off for good behavior. That is why I tell you if your gonna make a name for yourself do it quickly so your ticket has time to clear. Do it at the start of your sentence, not near the end.
