Download or read book The Little Book of Prison written by Frankie Owens and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a Koestler Platinum Award (judged by author and comedian Will Self). As Frankie Owens writes in The Little Book of Prison (LBP), Society wants to know about prison life, an interesting place to visit but you wouldnt want to live there. An easy-to-read prison survival guide of do's and don'ts. Perfect for anyone facing trial for an offence that may lead to imprisonment, their families and friends. Packed with humour as well as more serious items. Backed by prisoner support organizations. Straightforward and highly entertaining. Frankie started writing the LBP from day two of entering prison as a first-time offender. He had no idea how the system or a prison worked. He was clueless about it all and it was hard for him going in and frightening for the family and loved ones he left behind. The writing began as self-help and as the days progressed it occurred to Frankie that the LBP would prove useful to first-time offenders as well as other prisoners and help them get through what is surely one of the most difficult times in their lives. It also motivated him to get out on the prison wing and find out as much as possible about his new home. There are a lot of books about people in prison, people in far worse places than Frankie was and on far longer sentences. But the LBP is a book about prison not people, and will help new inmates, their friends and families get to know what to expect from the system. The LBP is a masterpiece in comic writing but somehow gets through to people with serious information in a way that more formal texts cannot. Already organizations connected to the criminal justice system are beginning to acknowledge that Frankie Owens LBP is an ideal read for people facing the trauma of a first prison sentence. It will also be of considerable interest to other prisoners or people working in a custodial setting. "If people want to know what prison is like it's for them, if people need to know what happens in prison its definitely for them". Reviews 'Our awards judges dont give a Platinum Award lightly, and this book is a winner on more than one level. It is a practical and totally frank introduction to real life in the British prison system - probably the best introduction there is. But it is also a wonderfully human narrative and a sharply argued critique - the wit and wisdom of one inmate who turns out to be a born writer. I was gripped from start to finish - roared with laughter one minute, winced with pain the next, and was left wondering why we have prisons at all': Tim Robertson, Chief Executive, The Koestler Trust 'Absolutely hilarious, I'm not sure it'll ever be standard prison issue but maybe it should be! Packed full of witty and wry observations and some extremely pertinent advice. It is well-structured, easy to read and informative. I hope he continues writing as The Little Book of Prison is something that the general public would love to read as well as a guide book for other prisoners': Koestler Award Judges As featured in The Guardian; in leading prison newspaper Inside Time; in Church Times; on BBC Radio; and around the web, including RSA, The Huffington Post, Sabotage Times. Author Frankie Owens was prisoner A1443CA at Her Majestys pleasure until 2 August 2011. If he had been given the information gathered in LBP, he thinks that the first weeks inside would have been better and the learning curve not as steep.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bureau of Justice Statistics states that currently there are over 189,500 men and women incarcerated within the federal prison system. 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. Included are topics such as how you will get to your designated facility, what happens once you arrive, daily life inside the fence, how to be safe, and many other issues you need to know. It also includes a preparation checklist to assist you and your family with things you should accomplish before you go.

Book excerpt: Reviews for Kindle version (currently 4/5 overall from 40 reader reviews):"Dan writes in a matter of fact way, but with humor. This book is great for the first timers, but is also very informative for the general public who have never considered the true reality of what goes on in prison.This is a refreshingly frank account of prison life and puts to bed lots of myths that the media publishes as fact.A great read!" 5 stars"This book was my life saver. My best friend went to prison, he's middle class, never been in trouble and found himself in Strangeways Cat A High Security prison for three months due to the stupidity of a system that once in doesn't care if you are a murderer or a foolish person who made a bad mistake. If I hadn't have found this book I would not have known what he was going through and could not have supported him or his family as well as I did" 5 stars"Prison On An L Plate" is the first in a planned series of books based on Dan's true-life experiences of Category B, C and D prisons over two and a half years.Dan explodes many popular myths and tells you what it is really like to be an offender entering the UK prison system for the first time.Find out what sort of people you can expect to meet in the average prison (you will be surprised).Learn 'The Rules': A unique set of 21 must-read guidelines which Dan created and used to navigate his way safely through a first-time prison sentence.Dan writes in a straightforward, friendly manner and doesn't hold back from difficult subjects. His frankness is what really separates him from other writers on the subject, and he doesn't let his ego get in the way of expressing his true feelings. - A highly readable, thorough and information-packed guide to prison for the first time prisoner- Written by an ex-prisoner who served two and a half years in Category B, C and D conditions- Essential reading for anyone facing a prison sentence, as well as their families and friends- Gives a valuable and fascinating insight into life in a UK jail for absolutely anyone interested in the subject- Balances essential information with interesting and at times equal parts amusing and sad descriptions of the author's personal experience of prison- Introduces the reader to 'The Rules', a truly unique list of 21 guidelines which the author created to safely navigate his way through prisonIn 2009, Dan Angelino was arrested and charged for a non-violent firearms offence, and in 2010 he received a 'mandatory' 5 year prison sentence.As a married, formerly law-abiding and respectable 30-something professional, this was definitely not something he had ever considered would happen to him, and he found himself woefully ill-prepared for the alien environment that he was thrust into. During his time on police bail he had tried to find out what prison would be like, but discovered that information was very thin on the ground. Dan wrote this book in the hope that other people who find themselves in a similar situation will not have to feel as ill-prepared as he was, and he firmly believes that if he had had access to a book like this, then his initial weeks and months in prison would have been much easier.The book is logically structured and takes the reader on a chronological journey from arrest, bail and court all of the way through the various stages of prison (including life in Category B, C and D or 'open' conditions) to release and life after jail.It answers most questions that anyone facing the prospect of prison might have, including:- How should you prepare for court?- What should you pack for prison?- Are you allowed money, and what can you spend it on?- How should you act around other prisoners?- What is the food like?- What is there to do in prison?And, of course: - Do you need to worry about dropping the soap in the showers?

Download or read book The 2020 Federal Prison Preparation Manual written by Andrew Taghon and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-08 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2020 Federal Prison Preparation Manual, is a clear, concise and indispensable overview of life in the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), in terms of both inmate culture and the BOP rules and policies which govern all. The manual touches on a wide array of aspects of the Federal prison experience: from what one needs to do before entering the system; what one should expect from both staff and other inmates during incarceration; and what one should do to survive and thrive in the netherworld of prison and its welter of rules and inconsistencies. Whether male or female, whether destined for a penitentiary or camp, or whether one's sentence is measured in months or years, this manual strives to serve as a bible for someone ensnared in the Federal penal system to enter with confidence, endure the hardship with good grace, and emerge unscathed and stronger as one returns to the real world. The manual is all-inclusive, updated as new developments warrant, and is sweeping in its breadth and depth of analysis of all aspects, both formal and informal, written and unwritten, of life in a Federal prison. Q. Does the Manual provide information about how the Bureau of Prisons classifies it's institutions? A. Yes. The Manual provides clear and concise explanations as to how the Bureau classifies it's institutions, and how they determine what security level facility to which each inmate will be designated to serve his/her sentence. Individual worksheets, similar to those used by BOP staff, are included to assist in determining the security level of prison to which you will be designated. There are also recommendations which may help you secure placement in a prison of your choice. Q. Does the Manual provide information about how the BOP uses the Pre-Sentence Investigation Report? A. Yes it does. The Pre-Sentence Report is utilized by the BOP from the time of initial designation and throughout an inmate's term of confinement. Because of its importance, a significant portion of the discussion in part one focuses on the Pre-Sentence Investigation and Pre-Sentence Report. Information to assist you in ensuring that your PSR contains complete accurate information is provided. Q. I was told the Bureau of Prisons has a program in place that requires inmates to pay on their court-ordered assessments, restitution, and/or fines. Does the Manual offer information about this program? A. Yes. The Bureau of Prisons has implemented the Inmate Financial Responsibility Program. The program is voluntary; however, individuals who refuse participation are prohibited from participating and receiving the benefits from other BOP programs. The Manual provides an overview of the program's policies including what obligations the BOP will attempt to collect and how payments are figured. Q. Does the Manual provide information about the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP)? A. Yes. The Residential Drug Abuse Program is the only program (other than good time credit) that may reduce the amount of time you spend in a federal prison. However, participants must meet strict criteria. Therein not all individuals are eligible to receive the reduction in their sentence for successfully completing the program. The Manual delineates the Bureau's policies surrounding the program, as well as the numerous other cognitive-based treatment programs offered within the Bureau of Prisons. Q. Does the Manual provide any information to assist those who have been convicted of sex offenses (child pornography included)? A. Yes. For safety and security reasons the Bureau of Prisons has employed policies that effect how individuals convicted of sex offenses are managed. The Manual highlights these policies and also provides an overview of treatment programs offered to sex offenders.
