    About this ebook

    If you are on the verge of breaking the law or heading to prison for the first time, the ten unwritten prison rules (commandments) outlined in this book can possibly save your life. Please, abandon the belief that you will can lead a fulfilling life breaking the law. More important, do not believe that because you are wealthier, smarter, physically stronger or more privileged you can automatically survive in prison.

    The rules in this book address the primary causes of violence in the inmate subculture resulting from a process called “Institutionalization.” Institutionalization occurs when one adapts to and depends on the laws or unwritten rules within a structured or well-established system. Life in prison often causes inmates to consciously or unconsciously relinquish their independence and responsibility. If you are not conscious of offending others while adjusting to the often cold, unbending prison routine that deprives you of privacy and freedom, you can easily succumb to violence. This can be avoided if you know some basic principles that apply regardless of the setting or culture.

    John Doc fuller has played a key role in developing the modern face of the prison consulting industry. Drawing on his own 11 years of experience behind bars, he provides many unique and life-saving services for first-time inmates, who are often terrified at what they are about to face "on the inside." John consults with criminal attorneys around the country who represent celebrities, veterans, politicians, white collar criminals, and other high profile detainees, such as Bernie Madoff and Stuart Levine, whom you have probably read about or seen on TV.

    INTRODUCTION

    If you are a young person in school, a professional athlete, a celebrity, or a hard-working person contemplating or engaging in criminal acts, you should seek help from a family member, guidance counselor, teacher, spiritual advisor, true friend, mentor, or qualified mental health professional. Then you may never have to enter the prison system and apply the commandments I’ve outlined in this book. You’ll also get to avoid those who choose to be sneaky, perverted, selfish,

    haughty, greedy, and violent. Unlike you, these individuals could not be talked out of their deviant behavior, and so they are languishing in our nation’s numerous penal institutions just waiting for someone like you to stumble in and violate their unwritten rules, providing an easy target for their rage. Please do not take this warning lightly.

    You’ll also get to avoid those who choose to be sneaky, perverted, selfish, haughty, greedy, and violent. Unlike you, these individuals could not be talked out of their deviant behavior, and so they are languishing in our nation’s numerous penal institutions just waiting for

    someone like you to stumble in and violate their unwritten rules, providing an easy target for their rage. Please do not take this warning lightly. Combined, the author has spent over 11 years in various prisons throughout the country, so he knows all too well of what he speaks.

    Perhaps you’re already in prison. If so, you may have an opportunity to exit prison one day and re-establish yourself as an honorable person in society. Right now, you may think that’s impossible. But if I can do it, so can you. However, the only way you’ll survive to see that day is if you learn and obey the commandments outlined in this book.

    The Ten Prison Commandments are based upon my extensive experience in high, medium, and low security institutions around the country. I am saddened by the unnecessary tragedies that occur in these facilities each day. They motivated me to write this book on the most important don’ts when it comes to surviving

    prison. I sincerely hope that you will never need to apply these commandments. However, the grim

    reality is that some people
