Reading is the great escape. Concentrating on things you can
control, not worry about things you can't - it is where the focus must lie.
Inmates need to get into a routine which will make their time go by smoothly.
They need to make a goal list of things to accomplish with all of this time on
their hands, to not just waste it playing cards and bullshitting. If they are
inclined, anyone can come out better than when they went in.
