HOW TO HAVE A HAPPY IN PRISON actually came to me while I was serving a twelve year sentence for armed robbery in the state of Georgia. I cannot count the times I've seen newcomers to the prison landscape get caught up in the crosshairs of two legged predators. In prison I often wanted to intervene when another person was so obviously being set up for failure. This short but accurate set of do's and do not's is for any one who is facing incarceration or is already serving their time but may not be able to read the environment well enough to navigate it safely. Although I served my time in Georgia these seven rules are the fundamentals for life in any institution that houses convicted felons. I hope this book helps people who may find themselves in or facing such an unpleasant battle more readily prepare to survive prison mentally, physically, and emotionally intact.
