How to Not Die in Prison

A Survival Guide

De: Taylor Sheridan, Tom Nelson

TV’s hottest hitmaker Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Landman, 1883, 1923, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown) presents an in-your-face, wildly entertaining survival guide to life behind bars in a maximum-security prison, cowritten with his friend, trainer, and prison hardened ex-con Tom Nelson.

So, you got caught cheating on your taxes, or cheating your business partner, or your boss, or the bank, or you robbed a bank. Maybe you had a few too many at the family reunion and plowed through some sweet old couple in the cross walk. The point is, you f*cked up. You can’t talk your way out of it, buy your way out of it, or beg your way out of it—you are going to prison.

You are going to live with a few thousand other men who have proven to society they need a big ol’ time out. You will be living under a set of rules made up by men who have demonstrated that they can’t follow rules so completely that society kicked them out. Nobody will tell these rules to you, but when you break one, boy, will you know it. The best way to survive? Be something you have chosen not to be up to this point—smart.

There is no book of the rules, until now. If you follow the advice of this book, you just might make it out alive. How To Not Die In Prison teaches you how you make it out of a prison riot, lockdown, a stabbing, a hit, and solitary confinement. It will teach you how to mind your own business without becoming a target, when to shut up, when to walk away, and when to stand up for yourself, how to not go insane, how you find God, how you make prison ramen, get and give a tattoo, and make weapons if you need them. This is how you don’t die.

RULE NUMBER ONE: read this book BEFORE you go to prison. Now, let’s get to work. We’ve got a lot to cover. And you don’t have much time.
