Rating: - An Entertaining Read
I enjoy everything prison related. Not sure why, but I have a total fascination with the world of incarceration. This book was one of many that I enjoyed. Written in a simple and easy to read format it is a book that you can read in a day or two and not miss a beat. It is a good account of what life is like on the inside, or rather, what I would imagine it is like. If you enjoy a read about life on the inside, you should pick this one up. Enjoy!
Rating:  - good at one time; now? not so much
At one time this book might have been insightful. Now, though, more information is available on internet sites.

Rating: - Not as much info as I wanted
My daughter was the victim of a stalker, who will soon be facing years in prison.

The book just gives a brief summary about most topics, and doesn't go into detail ... Read More
Rating: - Put to good use
My sister is in a county prison, so I sent her this book. She said she loved it ... even found some things to laugh about ... and passed the book amongst all her acquaintances there.
Rating:  - Not for females who need to survive
There is some good advice in this book, but it is really only for men who face incarceration. There is a scant chapter devoted to women, which in my experience offers little useful info.
Of course, if one is facing incarceration, any good advice is very slightly comforting.
