Special Prison Survival Tactics

As if being in prison wasn't challenging enough, there are a number of issues that could affect your security and sense of well-being while behind bars. These can range from knowing how to navigate the "black market" in prison to taking measures to avoid being a target for assault behind bars, to figuring out how to stay connected with your children if you are a parent.

Surviving prison is a mix between what you do and how well you do. That is — you can adjust your behavior to increase your chances of being accepted into the general population, which makes life a whole lot easier. And you can try your best to partake in programs and to follow the rules, which fosters better relationships with prison staff and can help ensure you get out of prison as early as possible.
