Download or read book First Timers Guide on How to Survive in New York State Prison written by Kemp "Zac" McCoy and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They say that life is what you make it, and this saying is truly applicable to prison as well as life. Not to put anyone down, most of us go throughout our lives not caring about anything or anyone. The only thing that can awaken someone who has taken everything and everyone for granted is for that someone to lose what it was that someone had. Then, and only then, can that someone learn to appreciate the blessings they had been given. Thus, when first contemplating the drafting of this book, the question that arose in my mind was not, who would be my intended audience, but what is it that I could possibly give to the audience that this book is intended for? That question was quickly answered after reflecting on the past maybe ten years or beyond, as well as recently, through the media watching how many public figures and celebrities are coming to prison for the first time. It is a good read not just for young people but of all ages. Each person that reads this book will come away with a different outlook on life, values and what being free means.

I was one of them. If you are reading this, then chances are that you are heading to federal prison as well. I've seen both sides of the fence. I spent over twenty-three years in law enforcement, both in the military and civilian sector. My crime grew out of an addiction to pornography, an addiction that I harbored most of my adult life. It grew worse over the years and it finally cost me my freedom. Upon my arrest while awaiting my sentencing, I searched everywhere for information pertaining to what I was facing. Nothing I found could tell me what it was going to be like once I was inside. Since then, I've committed myself to helping others so you won't have to go through the same things I did. The information contained in this book should help you and your family prepare for what is probably going to be the greatest challenge of your life. It is a guide for first-time offenders who are heading to federal prison. It is designed to help you prepare yourself before being remanded to custody.

Book excerpt: This book is based on first-hand personal experiences; nevertheless it is not about guilt or innocence.

Here is a detailed guide for all those unfortunate Americans who one day may fall into the hands of this relentless ‘industry’.

Download or read book Directory of Federal Prisons written by Christopher Zoukis and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Directory of Federal Prisons is the most comprehensive guidebook to Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities on the market. Not simply a directory of information about each facility, this book delves into the shadowy world of American federal prisoners and their experiences at each prison, whether governmental or private.What sets the Directory of Federal Prisons apart from other prison guidebooks is the first-hand validation of information. Most prison directories provide basic information that is publicly available (e.g., security level, population number, location, etc.). This book is different.While basic data is included, hundreds of current federal inmates have been surveyed and interviewed in order to ascertain the culture of each institution. This enables the Directory of Federal Prisons to provide information such as the level of violence; whether sex offenders, informants, or LGBT inmates can walk the yard; the status of prison politics and organized gangs; and what prisoners believe is good and bad about each facility. This intelligence is much more important to understanding each prison and the experience therein than basic directory types of information.The Directory of Federal Prisons also includes a detailed discussion of the custody and classification system used by the Bureau of Prisons. This system determines how inmates are scored for security level and prison placement. Readers can use real Bureau of Prisons' case management forms to ascertain an actual security score, thereby taking the guesswork out of security levels, housing determinations, prison transfers, and how Public Safety Factors and Management Variables impact placement decisions. This is knowledge that only seasoned case managers tend to have.In each facility profile, you will learn: -Basic data such as the sex of the inmate population, security level, and medical and mental health care levels.-Physical location and inmate mailing address.-Educational, psychological, vocational, and recreation programs available.-Notable incidents reported by the media (e.g., arrests, riots, significant fights, escapes, etc.).-Reviews by inmates currently at each facility, including information about violence, prison politics, who can walk each yard, and more.-And much more!No one wants to spend time in a federal prison, but if you or a loved one must go, finding quality, reliable information about life on the inside is essential to a safe and productive stay. The Directory of Federal Prisons builds off the award-winning and bestselling Federal Prison Handbook's reputation as the leading federal prison survival guide. Not only will readers be able to understand all facets of prison life and how to remain safe, they will also be able to evaluate each federal prison and its offerings, know if it is safe to walk the yard, and better evaluate and understand transfer options so that they can make the right prison placement decisions the first time
