75. Prison Camp
Sat Mar 19, 2016, 08:01 AM
Mar 2016

I was convicted of a white collar crime and spent two years at FPC Montgomery. I've never been to a higher security institution. I've never been through transit or a county jail. I was allowed to self surrender at the prison camp. It was a lot different then I though it would be. The only thing I ever knew about prison was what I saw on TV. I expected to have to depend myself constantly but it was nothing like that. Everyone there knew, any type of bad behavior would get you sent to the county jail or to a higher security level - inmates like to call it "behind the fence".

I remember searching the web before I went in and very little information about daily life was available. I've started a blog about what life inside was like. Check it out at prisonexperts.com
