So you are looking at doing some federal prison time and don't know how to survive in a jail atmosphere. I will teach you some very valid techniques on how to survive prison using these ways to survive jail tips that are coming from actual former inmates. Not people just writing articles about surviving jail. I myself have done jail time and the following techniques and tips can save you from serious problems and people while you are living out your prison sentence. Follow these secrets as if your life depended on it.

The Federal prison survival guide tips #1 - Stay away from gang life. When you are labeled a gang member by the prison it will lower your chances of getting parole or probation. Dont become associated with a gang and don't hang out with known jail gang members it only brings problems. Only if it's absolutely mandatory do you join a gang. Just expect to have other gang members to fight you, and when someone suggests you do something take that as an order and do it. Gang life is very serious and that is why it is best to just avoid it completely.

Federal prison survival guide #2 - Lift weights and go to the gym regularly. If you can get in shape before your prison sentence date do it. That includes doing pushups in your cell during lock downs. I also suggest you watch what you eat and exercise in the gym. Don't try to be stronger or look tougher in the gym, just be quiet, stick to yourself, mind your business and stick to your fitness. Avoid hitting the heavy punching bag, be respectful and just lift weights as long as it doesn't interrupt other inmates. Always keep your guard up in the gym area as the weights can be used as weapons against you.

Federal prison survival guide #3 - Keep yourself away from sexual offenders, child molesters and rapists. These people are the highest targeted for violence and being associated with them brings you the same amount of friction and violence. If you find out "your friend" you have known for the past 3 weeks is a sexual offender, get rid of him quick. Cut ties with any sexual offenders you may ever meet behind prison because they are the lowest in society. If you are a sex offender be prepared for abuse in jail and check yourself into protective custody right away.

Over all these tips will save you in prison be aware of the people and situations you get yourself into and always remember respect is the biggest thing running in jail I hope you learned this prison survival guide! ..Source.. Jason Clemens
