If Uncle Sam wants you,
find out all the things you need to know about going to prison
before you get there--
things your lawyer doesn't even know (unless he's been there).
If this is your first encounter with the
federal judicial system,
you're probably a little frightened, bewildered, and have no idea what to expect.
Hopefully this page can help you get some answers to your questions,
prepare you for your stay, and provide you with information that will
help make your adjustment easier, and allow you to finally get some rest
before you have to report.
While I don't know all the answers, I'll get whatever I can.
Among other information, I can describe to you:
- The way the system operates
- The attitude of staff (more frightening than the inmates)
- Job opportunities and pay
- Misnomers about prison
- Living arrangements
- Your Team (Losers)
- Educational opportunities and requirements
- Sex and drugs (It's there if you want 'em)
- Medical attention (Provided by PA's educated in Pakistan)
- Facility descriptions
- The Hole (For protection, punishment, relaxation)
- Checking in
- Checking out
- Strip searches (Yes they can)
- Visitation
- Commisary
- Cellmates
- Contraband
