Prison Help: What is prison like?

Above all else, prison is boring, mundane and each day feels like groundhogs day. It can be loud, smelly, lonely and frustrating. If you are used to getting things done then it may take you a little while to climatise to the slow pace of prison. Its like having your hands tied, everything is completely out of your control.

Prison Help: How safe is prison?

Prison is really, as safe as you make it. If you go looking for trouble, it will find you no problems at all. If you keep your head down and do your own time, you should come away unscathed. Dont borrow, dont steal, dont be in debt and dont get into anyone elses business or arguments.

Prison Help: Cell mates

The prison officers try to make their life easier by pairing you with someone that you may be compatible with, obviously its not always possible. You can always politely ask the officers if you are having trouble with your cell mate or it is just unbareable. It can take a while to get used to a routine of 2 people in such a confined space, habits, personalities and quirks. But it is something you have to get used to pretty quick as it will happen multiple times over during your prison stay.

Prison Help: Murderers

You will more than likely come across people that have killed people in prison, its part and parcel of where you are. Dont worry though, as soon as the cell doors open they arent going on a killing spree. Usually theyve made a mistake, moment of madness or are quite remorseful after spending a long time in prison and just want to do their lengthy time and get out. Fresh ones are normally in a secluded vunerable prisoner wing away from the general population anyway.

Prison Help: Getting raped in the showers

Its a misconception, not saying it doesnt happen, but i think the stereotype is more American than English prisons. I hadnt come across such incident in my whole prison sentence. Most are curtious when using the showers and respect each others privacy
