A completely out of date book on prison life. Written mostly by self-congratulating, World War 2 nonreligious conscientious objectors. Contains very little usefull information.

A helpful guide to prison etiquette, this book entrusts the survivability of recent inmates to certain basic procedures observed while living under duress in cramped quarters with 'dirty denizens' of the underworld, chapter one deals with close proximity contact, namely to remember to flush the toilet, leave toilet paper out and spray Lysol after each toilet use. Chapter two moves on to eating hall arrangements, never chew with your mouth open, do not make obscene belching noises, and never spit chewed up food in other people's faces, namely a fellow with tattoos. Such helpful advice renders a sense of warmth in the new inmates attitude. Never mind that most of the information is outdated and from 1950, prisons are still the same, if not worse.

This helped me during the five years I spent behind bars. I went from the prison b**ch to the stud! I highly recommend it for Martha Stewart or anyone else facing hard time. A must read!
