Prison Dynamics is HC SMITTY'S guide to doing time, a veteran of the prison system with over 20 years on the inside. Smitty gives a first-hand look at the ins and outs of the big house. He explains the social pecking order the guards how to hustle, eat good, avoid scams, and how to walk out with your asshole the same size as when you enteredPrison Dynamics is HC Smitty's unfiltered guide to surviving behind bars. With over 20 years spent navigating the oppressive walls of the big house, Smitty lays bare the brutal realities of life on the inside. This isn't just a handbook; it's a survival manual forged in the fires of fear and desperation. Smitty pulls back the curtain on the harsh social dynamics at play, revealing the brutal pecking order that dictates every move you make. You'll learn the art of hustling—how to secure the necessities and even indulge in a decent meal when everything around you is designed to strip you of your dignity. He exposes the scams lurking in every shadow, the predators waiting to exploit any sign of weakness.
But this is more than just practical advice; it’s a gritty wake-up call. Smitty talks about how to keep your mind sharp and your spirit intact, all while ensuring you walk out with your dignity—and, yes, your asshole—just as you entered. In these pages, the stark truth of prison life is laid bare: it’s raw, it’s real, and it demands your attention. Own it, learn from it, and prepare yourself for a reality most would rather forget.
