Publisher Comments:

-- According to the U.S. Justice Department's Bureau of Prisons, the prison population in American has jumped from 330,000 in 1980 to 1,300,000 — an increase of 280%. The overall prison population in the U.S. is more than 2,000,000.<P>-- Approximately 2,000 men and women enter either a state, local, or federal prison each week in the United States, most for the first time.<P>-- There is virtually no competition for this title.<P>With the numbers of prisoners at the local, state, and federal levels at an all-time high, staying alive in prison — all of which are crowded far beyond their normal capacity, creating a very unpleasant environment at best — is harder than at any time in American history. Behind Bars: Surviving Prison will show you the best ways to avoid being beaten, sexually abused, and most importantly, getting killed. Other survival tips include how to land a favorable work assignment, the best ways to bribe prison guards, how to work the parole system, and a glossary of prison slang to make the transition easier.
