How Prison Life Really Works Prison life is much harder than prison. You stay in prison until you finish your sentence or until you die; prison is nothing compared to prison. Every prisoner is closed off from the outside world. Each inmate is there for different crimes committed inside and outside the prison. It is very interesting to see how inmates survive in prison and how they adapt to their new life because in prison they are blocked from the outside world. Prisoners no longer exist for the people on the outside. Violence is a big part of the problem in prison because everywhere in prison someone gets hurt. The weakest prisoners are sexually harassed by those who have the power to control everything that happens inside the prison. Racial segregation causes violence because it triggers the emotions of prisoners in prison. Gangs are also another cause of violence because in prison every inmate belongs to a gang that will protect them from any harm that may be done to that inmate. In prison, inmates must follow the prison code, which is a code used among themselves. Every prisoner must choose to save his life because if he doesn't he will pay with his own life. This way they have to follow every rule and stick to them. Prison life is not easy to adapt to because each person has their own way of dealing with their problem. Each inmate must decide how to best protect himself or herself from others who want to harm him or her. Inmates face violence because in prison that's all you see. No matter what, everyone starts making trouble and the violence between the inmates intensifies. Violence leads to more violence, and this leads to even more violence. Violence......middle sheet......ncomrades. Inmates use code to structure and define informal rules, for example, in the article Values, Rules and Peacekeeping: How Men Describe Inmate Order and Code in California Prisons by Rebecca Trammell, Talk to the Inmate Hassine, who died in prison. He describes his own experience and states that "the code is simply a term used by prisoners to describe prison rules." The code that prisoners follow is their life by which they live. The code will help you when you get to prison and will save your life, the only thing you need to do is follow it. In prison who should stay in your game You have to be smart about what you will do and in which group We will come out because it is very important, it could save you and also everyone around you. The only way to survive prison is to follow the code.
