It’s probably pretty safe to assume that the sort of prisons shown on TV, and their portrayals of life inside, bear as much resemblance to real jails as the doctors in Grey’s Anatomy or House do to their NHS counterparts. That’s why Frankie has written this book: to provide a guide to what life inside is really like and how best to survive it with your sanity, and body, intact.
Thanks go to the publishers for supplying this book.
Everything I knew about prison before this, I learned from.... Jodi Picoult. [[Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult|Change of Heart]] tells it like it is, or at least how it could be. You really ought to read [[A Bit of a Stretch: The Diaries of a Prisoner by Chris Atkins|this]] as well. {{amazontext|amazon=1904380832}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=1904380832}}
