About Behind Bars

A judge hands down a stretch in a local, state, or federal prison. It’s time for some serious life lessons. With the crime rates soaring in the United States and the prison population growing faster than at any time in American history, staying alive and well—both mentally and physically—is tougher than ever.

Behind Bars breaks down the bars on prison survival with a hard look at the realities of incarceration. Learn what it really takes to:
•  Avoid being sexually abused, stabbed, beaten, or even killed.
•  Identify deadly prison gangs.
•  Keep your own attorney from taking advantage of you.
•  Get edible food and stay as healthy as possible.
•  Learn the realities and untangle red tape of conjugal visits.
•  Successfully navigate the complex parole system.
•  Stay alive during a prison riot.
