If you ever find yourself inside prison, then follow these top 10 golden rules to survive in jail.
10. Know the rules.
The prison itself is a community that has its own set of rules and regulations. Learn the rules and know them by heart so that you won't have problems with your acts inside the "house".
9. Maintain communication with your loved ones.
You don't have to shut yourself off and stop communicating with your loved ones. Keep in touch with your friends and family, especially those who you still want to interact with once you get out.
8. Plan your release.
Let's be clear on this: it's not about escaping. Think of what you are going to do once you get out. What will your job be? Where will you live? How much is your budget? Don't enjoy prison too much - if you do, chances are you're going back.
7. Be careful on who you interact with.
Choose who to befriend, and have as few enemies as possible; if you can, don't have any. The right people will help you have jobs while inside prison, and even share secret benefits and perks that you can take advantage of. The wrong people, on the other hand, can even make you extend your time inside.
6. Less talk, less mistakes.
Don't get into discussions that can possibly get you into fights. Don't discuss taboo topics such as religion or politics. Don't share details about your private life or the reason why you're in. Don't discuss any personal details. At the same time, don't pry into other inmates' lives; respect their privacy and don't ask a lot of questions.
5. There are friends who will "forget" you when you get out.
The reality may hurt, but yes, there are people who suddenly won't want to get associated with you once you reclaim your freedom. It happens. Just prepare yourself and be ready. The good thing is you'll know who's really there for you whether you're in or out.
4. Don't get into trouble.
This one must be included in the top 10 golden rules to survive in jail: make your stay as peaceful as possible. Keep your head up when you walk but don't stare at other prisoners. Don't fight with your fellow prisoners; you'll hurt yourself if you do so. Don't get in trouble with guards; your time inside may end up being longer.
3. Get into worthwhile activities.
Sure, you're inside prison but that doesn't mean you can't do anything worthwhile. Perhaps it's not known outside, but prisons usually have programs that will help you not only while you're inside but also once you get out. You can either find out about these programs through the prison staff, or from the other inmates themselves who are involved in such programs.
2. Have the right attitude.
Your attitude will determine what kind of prison life you are going to have. Be careful; strike a balance. Being weak will make other people take advantage of you, while being too tough will make other prison fellows feel the need to soften you up. To get along with the other people inside, you have to have the right attitude.
1. Be a better individual.
The life inside prison is hard. The stress prison brings can affect your body, mind and spirit. Focus on them all, keep the balance and don't neglect any of them to avoid the harmful consequences.
While inside, follow the top 10 golden rules to survive in jail. Make sure that you'll be a better individual once you leave prison. Embrace and appreciate your freedom... and don't go back!
