The Jail House Survival Guide
This is a project I am working on to list and document different and unusual things people do in jail to survive. A lot of it is pretty interesting things a lot of people don't know or have never even heard of. For example a lot of people don't know you can light a cigarette with a microwave. I got the idea some years ago when I got into trouble and had to do 30 days in jail myself. I also had to take a class. During this class I was telling the instructor some of the things I had seen. To my surprise everyone was hanging onto my every word. The instructor said I should write a book about it as it was very interesting stuff. I don't know if I could ever get published, but I can damn sure put it on the internet. It is also a way to turn this experience into something positive in my life. I think we could all use something more positive in our lives. During this project I am going to write about things I already know and do some interviews of others who have spent years in jail to learn about their experiences . This page is the table of contents and below are the links to the different sections. I plan to put a couple of years into completeing this project. I have lots of other things I am working on . This is just one of a few I want to complete at this time.
Jail is hard place to live. You have to make do with what you have and this is an attempt to show some of the ways and ingenius ideas people have and use to do this.

WARNING: This is not a fairy tale world and I am not going to censor this blog or leave out content just because some think it might be inapropriate. Some things you will see here may describe graphic and unsettling things..for example...Keestering... Hiding something in you anus...The majority will be practical things, but my aim is document and explain things of a real life nature. If some of it may disturb you then blame the world..not me. The world is a disturbing place. I wish it were not...but it is what we live in. Jailers and guards may also find this information useful.
