what is one thing you should never do in
[85]
this prison
[89]
step one
[90]
don't let your brain shrink
[92]
super max prisons are known for putting
[94]
inmates in borderline torturous solitary
[96]
confinement researchers state that the
[99]
stress caused by confinement can shrink
[101]
parts of the brain that are responsible
[102]
for memory and controlling emotions
[105]
if you develop spiritual strength it may
[108]
help give you a sense of purpose
[110]
finding religious faith becoming more
[112]
devout or taking strength from other
[114]
belief systems could help you cope with
[117]
your life in prison
[119]
step two
[120]
keep to yourself
[122]
remember
[123]
snitches get stitches
[125]
and an adx
[127]
you'll be within feet of some of the
[128]
most notorious and dangerous criminals
[131]
alive that includes barry mills the
[134]
leader of the aryan brotherhood and
[136]
notorious mexican cartel leader el chapo
[139]
maybe solitary confinement doesn't sound
[142]
so bad with these despicable neighbors
[144]
but whenever you're allowed any brief
[146]
form of socialization it's best to mind
[148]
your own business
[150]
the one thing you should never ever do
[152]
in prison is give information on other
[154]
inmates to the guards and authorities
[158]
step three develop a routine
[161]
one of the best things you can do to
[163]
stay sane in super mex is to avoid
[165]
stress
[166]
i know it sounds impossible given the
[168]
conditions but you can develop
[170]
strategies to relieve your stress
[172]
building a routine and sticking to it
[173]
might do the trick
[175]

[184]
exercised then grom sponged himself
[186]
clean
[187]
later in the day he meditated
[189]
that kept him going until he was
[191]
exonerated and released in 1981
[195]
step four
[196]
keep daydreaming
[199]
life in the super max prison will not be
[201]
the life you dreamed about but that
[203]
doesn't mean you should quit dreaming

visualizations of himself in a vivid
[215]
alternate reality where he could enjoy
[217]
being in open spaces and talking with
[219]
people
[220]
creating mental images can stimulate
[222]
certain parts of the brain that help
[224]
with mental activities abstract thoughts
[226]
and motor control
[228]
you might even imagine things that feel
[230]
real
[233]

[238]
incarcerated people around 55 percent of
[241]
male and 73 of female inmates in the us

adding solitary confinement to the mix
[248]
only worsens these conditions
[250]
three-quarters of all isolated prisoners
[252]
report symptoms of psychosis such as
[255]
hallucinations
[256]
some inmates pass the time by eating
[258]
junk food but don't do that
[261]
while comfort food might provide
[262]
momentary relief from your reality those
[265]
sugar-driven endorphins will only worsen
[267]

facility
[286]
but it is crowded and it's easy to run
[289]
afoul of the wrong people

[295]
first 24 hours in prison
