How to Survive in Prison

Going to jail for the first time is a scary experience, no matter who you are. The combination of adrenaline, fear, anxiety, and confusion seemed deafening. Once the cell door is closed, you must begin to master the situation and plan how to survive there. Life in prison is hard and scary, but if you follow the rules and stay out of trouble, you can live it safely without any major incidents.


Prison Survival

Develop an instinct to smell danger. 

Now you live together with thieves, rapists, murderers and swindlers. It's better to follow your instincts than to ignore them.

  • If you feel that something is going to go wrong, don't think about it, just go and find a safe place. Don't try to think rationally in the middle of an irrational place.
  • Don't trust first impressions if you feel something strange is going on. In prison what appears is not what actually happens.
  • If you don't have a sixth sense yet, it's best if you start honing it while in prison. Even insignificant events or signs can harm the environment around you.


Respect other inmates. 

A proverb that must be held in prison is to treat others as you would like to be treated. Avoid using harsh words, being confrontational, and getting into someone's personal boundaries.

  • Don't insult anyone's manhood, unless you want to go to a hospital, solitary confinement, or graveyard.
  • Don't cut the line at the cafeteria or you'll be interrupted too.
  • Stay away from other people's cells unless you are invited to enter. You can also refuse to be invited in.
  • Avoid violence unless there is no other way. If you are silent when you are insulted, you are a coward and your life will be more difficult than it is now.

  • Be friendly and respect everyone.

Avoid getting involved in gangs, drugs, and gambling. There is a myth that it is better to join a gang immediately upon entering prison for protection. But to get protection you have to do terrible things. The facts show that joining a gang, getting involved with drugs, or participating in gambling are the three behaviors that are most likely to get you killed.


Most of the fatal victims in prison were gang members. 

They experienced high rates of stabbing, stabbing, and fighting.

  • If you are caught using illegal drugs, you can be held in solitary confinement, extended detention, or transferred to another, more dangerous prison.
  • Gambling often ends in a fight in prison, especially if you are in debt. Money in prison can be used to obtain goods or other needs. If you are in debt, you are bound to be approached by your gambling buddies.


Avoid entering solitary confinement. 

While solitary confinement may sound appealing compared to living with the world's most horrific criminals, it is often associated with torture and mental disorders.

  • Avoid habits that can make you the center of attention or engage in violence. The two things above are the fastest ways to be sent to solitary confinement. Research shows that if the guards don't understand your actions, you can be sent to solitary confinement.
  • Each prison has its own rules. Make sure you understand this rule as soon as possible because if you break it you can go straight to solitary confinement.
  • Isolation cells are often used as a tool to control gang activity. Therefore, avoid joining gangs or racist groups as they are often targets for being sent to solitary confinement.


Survive in solitary confinement. 

Solitary confinement is a cell whose size doesn't give you much room to move, is separated from other humans, locked up for 23 hours without moving much, and in all likelihood, can cause mental disorders, even to the toughest. If you're in this solitary hell, you'll have to come up with a plan to stay sane.

  • Carry out brain activity on a regular basis. We all have routines or we do nothing. Do not change all of these routine activities while in solitary confinement. Wake up, have breakfast, go to work, have lunch, come home from work, have dinner, watch television or do some other activity, and then go to sleep - do it all in your mind.
  • Detail all activities down to the smallest detail. This method can train your brain to keep working and think logically. If you like baseball or soccer, try explaining the sport to a stranger who doesn't know the sport at all. In this way, you must explain and provide examples for each step detail. You can spend your day doing this.
  • Build or dismantle something. Think about what you need when buying a house and make a shopping list. Go to the store, buy what you need, and take it to your destination. After that, imagine that you are building a house.
