Download or read book How to Survive Prison written by Steven Fazekas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-05-07 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on first-hand personal experiences; nevertheless it is not about guilt or innocence. It is a handbook; guidance for those Americans, who may one day have to go to prison. This is a directory to the idiosyncrasies of the American ‘Justice Industry’ and to inmates, guards, lawyers, judges, prosecutors and incarceration facilities within it. By and large the workings of this self-perpetuating ‘industry’ are little known to the general public. Here is a detailed guide for all those unfortunate Americans who one day may fall into the hands of this relentless ‘industry’. It is a known fact that the United States has the highest number of incarcerated people in the world, hence mathematically speaking any American, including you the reader could easily be part of this sad statistics. By reading about events, persons and places described in this book, you the reader will be prepared (somewhat) to face this special section of society that (so far) had been locked away from you and the American public. ***** “There are two kinds of people my friends: The one who gets caught and the one yet to be caught..... every son of a bitch out there is guilty of something, including the judge and the jury who convicted me.” A quote from Orlando – a federal inmate serving a life sentence.

Download or read book Surviving Incarceration written by Rose Ricciardelli and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2014-05-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is prison a humane form of punishment and an effective means of rehabilitation? Are current prison policies, such as shifting resources away from rehabilitation toward housing more offenders, improving the safety and lives of incarcerated populations? Considering that many Canadians have served time, are currently incarcerated, or may one day be incarcerated–and will be released back into society–it is essential for the functioning and betterment of communities that we understand the realities that shape the prison experience for adult male offenders. Surviving Incarceration reveals the unnecessary and omnipresent violence in prisons, the heterogeneity of the prisoner population, and the realities that different prisoners navigate in order to survive. Ricciardelli draws on interviews with almost sixty former federal prisoners to show how their criminal convictions, masculinity, and sexuality determined their social status in prison and, in consequence, their potential for victimization. The book outlines the modern "inmate code" that governs prisoner behaviours, the formal controls put forth by the administration, the dynamics that shape sex-offender experiences of incarceration, and the personal growth experiences of many prisoners as they cope with incarceration.

Download or read book Prison Guide written by Angelo Pisano and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secrets of surviving prison have remained unwritten - until now. Angelo Pisano, a ten-year veteran of the U.S. prison system, is breaking the silence with this guide on how to navigate a world behind bars. With a focus on getting home as soon as possible, Pisano prepares soon-to-be inmates for confinement, whether their sentences will be served in county jails or in maximum security prisons. The advice for so-called "new Jacks" covers all types of scenarios, from fights to the complex rules that govern borrowing and lending to the best practices at the gambling table. By teaching the newly convicted about the pecking order and how to stay out of trouble with correctional officers and inmates alike, Pisano aims to get his readers out of jail as early as the criminal justice system will allow. Instead of feeling helpless, Pisano's readers will come away from the book feeling more in control. That's because, as Pisano writes, being confined to jail doesn't mean being confined to bad choices. Instead, he provides his readers with workable advice on how to take advantage of the solitude and freedom from distraction to improve character, intellect and chances for future success. By reading this book, the newly convicted just might be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

Download or read book Surviving Russian Prisons written by Laura Piacentini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do Russian prisons look like? Who is sent to prison in Russia? How is punishment allocated and administered? This pioneering book aims to answer these and other questions by embarking on a journey that begins by exploring how the prisons have survived the collapse of the USSR, and ends with a discussion of global penal politics. It is the first book to have been written in English on penal practices in the contemporary Russian prison system. Surviving Russian Prisons focuses in particular on the reality of work and labour within Russian prisons, exploring its changing function. From being for much of the twentieth century a major activity as well as an ideological justification for prison regimes, its main function now has been to enable prisoners to survive through participating in a barter economy. In exploring the microworlds of the Russian prison this book at the same time presents new evidence and offers fresh insight into how prisons are governed in societies undergoing turbulent social and political transformation; it explores how current practices in relation to prisoners' work comply with international regulations designed to promote humane containment and positive custody; and debates the nature of knowledge on penal discourse in transitional states.
