    About this ebook

    A rare glimpse at twenty-four hours in the life of an inmate—from doing laundry in “the hole” to surviving a fight—by an ex-con and professional prison coach.
     
    No one is prepared for the reality of incarceration. In this fascinating and utterly candid guide, prison coach John “Doc” Fuller draws on his own experience of eleven years in jail to outline what the newly imprisoned can expect from moment to moment during a typical day. Spanning the hours from a prisoner’s waking to lights out, the author describes the two sets of rules every inmate must know—the official prison guidelines and the often-brutal laws set down by the population itself.
     
    With advice on how to interact with guards and other inmates alike, Fuller details how to survive not only fights, but the rigor of meals, daily jobs, and the yard. With an outlook toward eventual release, Fuller also delves into the ways inmates can make the most of their free time. From the man who prepared Martha Stewart for her jail time, and who has coached everyone from housewives to professional athletes on life behind bars, this eye-witness view into the daily life of a correctional facility outlines the details and dynamics anyone facing prison time needs to know.

      OK so why would someone want to know what goes on in prison? Well if you are headed there this book would be useful. Thankfully I am not and never intend to be. But I was curious enough to see what it can be like.John Fuller, the author seemed to have plenty of experience but he did not elaborate on what got him there. He did however deliver a vast store of advice and protocol that one would be wise to heed, if indeed headed there. It doesn't look like an appealing existence and it made me wonder about the repeat offenders who call it home, and why.I'm not sure how much the penal system does to reform people but it certainly is a place one would learn the rules while from other inmates and in fast order.An interesting look at life from the inside and for outsiders to take heed.
