How to survive prison?

i did 3 years on a VOCSA back in the early 90s and the one thing i can tell you is
if you think and act as tho you will be a victim you will be victimized.
keeping to yourself is always a good idea but as long as you dont appear to be afraid and dont act like billy badass you should be fine.
and if you do hangout with anyone make sure you never owe them anything.
and that means dont accept anything from them. EVER! nothing inside is free no exceptions.

To add to the wealth of knowledge about how to survive inside, here is the one lesson I learnt that hasn't already been mentioned.

Never forget you're in jail...

...after you've been there long enough it is an easy thing to do and there are plenty of willing fists to re-wake your ass up to that fact.

agreed Jonus..after a while some people do let their gaurd down and start actin a fool.
and thats when they usually open their mouths too wide and get it closed for them along with an eye or two

all in all i've spent about 9 years on the inside, in the uk things are slightly different but in essence probably the same and going back to what fdd2blk said at the beginning of this thread "find the biggest meanest fucker and bite his nose off" that just about sums it up , most of the guys inside are bullys thats why they are there if they think they can intimidate you they will if they think that they will whoop your arse but possibly lose an ear in the process they will look for an easier target i've been to most of the max security prisons in the uk but i havent got a scar on me from being in jail, got a couple outside but thats another thread. man rape is not such a problem over here and if it did happen the offender woul most likely be cut to pieces in the showers

"You can't rape the willing!"

:hump:

ha ha, joke. butta, me and a bud were hangin out one time and this tall skinny guy comes along talkin about how he just got out of prison and started saying like.. 'something bad happened to me in there...' ... and we were like, dude, shut the fug up, noone wants to hear that shite!

i've only spent like a day in county a couple times, thank god. it would break my heart to loose my doggies. and if i wasn't absolutely certain i was going to a good place, i would be very inclined to stand in the courtroom and say something to this effect: "as i stand here with a clear conscience and am deemed an animal, to be caged apart from the rest of man, for their safety... so too do i charge you with my own safety... and know that i hold both the prosecuting attorney and the presiding judge responsible for my safety in as much as they are keeping society safe from me, they had best keep me safe from the other 'animals' that they have caged. For if anything untoward should happen to me while i am inside, know that the same thing will befall you once i am released." That is an oath that I have long ago sworn... and having had everything taken from me when i went in, i don't feel i would have much to lose (to prevent me from making good on this oath) when coming out.

ONE thing is for sure, until you have been in prison/jail/county for at least a short time with no real knowledge of when you might be getting out... You never really know what Freedom is until your Freedom has been taken away. I've seen animals start to go crazy in a cage. I've seen a horse start to loose its marbles when in a corral that was too small... My greatest fear is that i am like that horse. I think prison might strip my soul away faster than any drug ever could.

Good for me I am mentally unstable. I cant be held accountable for what I do and sent to prison. Of course I am talking about murder and things and not growing marijuana. Wait, could I argue that too? "This man is not guilty of growing marijuana because of the reason of insanity". That shit would be cool.

Ill tell u one thing, Id rather go to a mental hospital then jail. They actually have different levels of mental hospitals too though. Ive only been to the lower levels, the ones in wings of normal hospitals and medical centers. If I wasnt so stressed out it woulda been pretty cool. I got a couple weird stories from in there but nothing too crazy. If u go in an insane asylum on the other hand, its still better then prison, but u will be even crazier then u already are and see a whole bunch of insane shit in there. Isolation in an insane asylum and u are guaranteed to go insane, not in a funny way. At least theres girls in mental hospitals lol. This was a few years ago so I dont remember everything though.

right before u start doing ur time stick a razor blade in ur ass... then drop the soap in the shower... when a guy comes to rape u let him and he'll get an awesome suprise and everyone will be scared as shit to fuck u from then on. and plus they'll think your crazy as a labotamist with scitsophrania
I'd like to not die from perforated colon, and the idea of fuckign up another guy's dick is kindof twisted too, even if he was a total rapist psychopath.

So, if a guys trying to rape you right? And you kick his ass, and rape him, Would that make him our bitch?

lol ive read about 30 pages of this thread and its been really down to earth stuff. Makes you think and makes me realise how hard you Americans got it.

but this quote above made me laugh a lot

I know it isnt a funny matter but that scenrio seemed so bizarre in such a serious thread lol.

The internet is an amazing place, where you can talk to plp who have had these experiences, at a push of a button.

NEVER accept shit

NEVER gamble

Don't stay in your cell

Don't talk about family

Don't "make friends"

Stick with your own kind

Be cool, and calm.

That's it.

after reading a good percentage of you guys post here I realize a good majority of you have never truly seen the inside of a real prison. Perhaps a few nights in county jail, but no real time in state, or federal prison. Or worse yet a foreign prison! Iʻve been a resident in them all!

Past places where I have slept:

LOMPOC USP

LOMPOC FCI

BASDROP FCI

CHIANG MAI PRISON Thailand ( arrested in Golden Triangle)

Bhangkwan Prison Thailand (for prisoners with sentences 26 years & above)

LARDYAO PRISON THAILAND( after time reduction moved here. My Security level lowered getting closer to home)

At one point I did 8 years over 10. I was eventually pardoned by the King of THailand. So I know a thing or two about prisons, prison life, and how it works! Itʻs hardly ever like television,....thatʻs for sure!

Originally sentenced in Chiang Mai Thailand I was given 35 years on a plea bargain! You donʻt have much choices once the Thais have you by the "short hairs". CAn you imagine the one prison I was in(Bhangkwan Prison) was for prisoners with sentences 26 years and above. In this prison was a population of over 7000 inmates....and they had a major riot while I was there too!! Of that count, less than 20 were Americans!!! I was witness to several executions during my stay there too. I have never,ever seen what I experienced in THai prison on TV or movies. It was totally bizzaro!

Right now I have to take one of my kids to school, then work on my ladies for a bit, then Iʻll get back to write more.
I will say this if your doing a commercial grow. You best put away 15% to 20% of your profits to your legal fund! Thatʻs right your legal fund. One thing you must realize in this business, the bottom line is prison. Until they(GOV.) re-classifies cannabis, watch your backs. Especially you kids out there growing at home in your closet without your parents knowledge. You put out thermal images for police "fly overs", and there is a 50-50 chance your folks will lose their home for your crazy closet grow!

More later..

City is where the repeat offenders, to small timers go after the detention center or not.

Metro pd is not nice.

THEY ARE DUMB AS WOODEN POSTS BUT STILL MEAN..

thats not true. I have encountered some nice ones.



ok back to the story.

I get busted for my warrant. unpaid traffic tickets. fucking ridiculous.

so on the way to the station "city" we almost got into an accident due to the cop and "explorer" sitting bitch TEXTING A FEMALE POLICE OFFICER!
ON THE LAPTOP! FUCK
ALSO USING HIS CELLULAR PHONE.


so almost died.

SO you get to jail. shackled to a bench for 3 hours. cold bench. they pump the fucking place cold with ac to keep you awake.

YOU MIGHT get asked if you want a sack lunch. get this if offered. you can use it to gain a pal or eat if necessary.( I barley ate the entire time there by the way. survived on milk and cookies hahahaha maybe a banana. )

BEGIN PROCESSING.

they take your shoes first and you get nasty prizon sandalz. yuk. that was really my biggest concern the entire time, FOOT DISEASE!!!!! lol.

all the other shit goes into a bag with your number on it, but that takes 45 minutes for those retards.

Holding Cell #1


smells of alcohol. DOnt TALK TO ANYONE UNLESS THEY INitiate!!! I WAS PISSED OFF AND NOT IN THE MOOD AS WAS EVERYONE ELSE. TRY and find a spot under a bench to sleep. Im fucking serious. Its the best option. THE BEST. lol

YOUR HERE FOREVER. no clocks so you dont know how long. but its approximately 4 - 6 hours.

HOLDING CELL #2

-Is nicer. GRAFFITTI IN FUCKING JAIL SHOWS HOW MUCH WE LIKE IT HERE! lol

weirdos.
-anyways onto the TB shot and finger printing.

-Take your clothes and your given man panties made of fish net.

welcome to full male nudity. I wasnt ready for all of that. But whatever.


Off to lunch when i arrived.
FUCKING DOG MEAT SANDWHICHES AND THE NASTIEST SUPPOSED CHICKEN on alternatiing days, but the milk and cookies saved me. the only real food besides the undergrown fruit, processed outside this facility.

your greeted with an empty floor with no cellmates on the floor. theres bedding you grab and take to your cell. rooms of 4 bunks per room and about 80 per cell block.

I just so happened to be in the night someone died the next cell block over.

stomped to death in his cage. It sounded like a ufc fight in the middle of the night in the dark. insane. THAT WAS HIGH SECURITY HIGH HIGH SECURITY man killers next door. only a cage seperating. lol



anyways keep your own shit together for video court. you dont see no judge no more.




I dont know about everywhere, but in Las Vegas City Jail. there was a sense of unity against authority. Yea were all there because we fucked up, but thats what we have in common. something to talk about.


there is usually some older white guys that are pretty easy to get to know.
Although being white I made friends pretty fast with people of other races.

My poker tattoo was part of the solution there. I have the card symbols on my arm where the orange jump suit didnt cover. so naturally someone saw and sat me down for poker.

U have a ton of free time on an extended stay like mine. 6 days was not fun. but it was an experience. I could have been busted for so much fucking worse.

and being only 21 I see this as a second chance.

I almost saw a felony that night. but due to the neglect of the rookie police I got away with ditching 4 xanax bars in the bushes:hump:





there for some really really sad things. they ended up hitting their wife or being beaten to within an inch of their lives









good luck. i took a shower. no one in there wants to fuck you. they just want to get out. UNLESS YOU MURDER SOMEONE. AND THEN YOU GET PUT IN WITH THE FUCKING MAN SLAYERS, and then that chance is so much more real.




stay on your toes. Im never goin back
