What Inmates Have To Know, When You Have To Go To Prison

Our federal prison guidebook will take you from your very first day inside through your last. We walk you through the intake procedures, the uniform and housing steps, the institution's policies and rules, and the unwritten inmate rules that all inmates have to follow. We show you actual menus from the cafeteria and shopping items that are available for purchase at the prison's commissary. We cover visitation rules, telephone rules and procedures, inmate jobs, medical assistance, and the steps to take to avoid trouble. Our federal prison guidebook will tell you how to avoid making the common mistakes that most first time inmates make which will attract unwanted attention. These mistakes will often lead to problems with other inmates and the prison staff. For example:

Did you know that inmates in federal prisons and federal prison camps consider it to be very bad manners for you to look into their cells or cubes as you walk past? By not knowing this one basic inmate rule it could lead you into a physical confrontation on your very first day inside. Always look straight ahead when walking past other inmate's houses.

Did you also know that when you call home using a prison's telephone that it's a violation of prison policy for someone else at your home, like your children, to pick up an extension line and join in on the conversation? You could lose your telephone privileges for up to six months.

If you didn't know these two basic inmate's rules then we strongly urge you to order and read our prison guidebook. It contains the information that every first time inmate should learn before they arrive at a federal prison or federal prison camp.

Our Prison Guidebook Covers:

"A few months ago I ordered your guidebook for my son who has been sentenced to 18 months in hopefully low security federal prison. The judge said he did not want to impose this sentence (which was well below the guidelines) but wanted to send a message to the community. My son, who has never been in any kind of trouble before, made a poor choice and has to pay an extremely harsh penalty for it. Your book gives us hope. None of the other books were like yours. He lent the book to the federal public defender and her office will pass your information on as a resource to others. I just want to thank you for writing it and helping people like us to maintain hope in unthinkable circumstances. God bless you."........Linda
