Surviving Prison
“America is a nation of laws that reach into every aspect of public and private life. By just going about the daily routine of trying to make a living, you run the risk of transgressing one or more strands of this invisible web of legal strictures and restraints.”
Behind Bars: Surviving Prison by criminologists, Jeffery Ian Ross and Stephen C. Richards, (available on Amazon) is modeled after leaflets from the 60’s given to nonviolent demonstrators. Their book delves into surviving the criminal justice system on many more levels. It also includes a glossary of prison slang.
