So you want to learn how to survive prison? I have done a couple years behind bars and most of my friends are ex convicts as well. I sat them down and we made up the following list of rules you must follow to survive and not get killed behind bars. Yes, jail or prison is a very dangerous place but being able to make the best of it will either make or break you, kill you or make you survive.

How to survive prison #1 - Always stay in touch with your family and friends. Being able to know that you have people on the outside that care about you is a big part of keeping your mind balanced. Be sure to get visits from family. However, when you get mail from your family or friends, rip off the return addresses, and when you make phone calls cover the dial pad with your spare hand. You don’t want any other inmates harassing your family or friends cause they have beef with you.

How to survive prison #2 - Never gamble and never borrow items off of inmates. If an inmate offers to help you out right as you arrive in your cell block say no. If he offers you food, cigarettes, or whatever, say no. Chances are you will be in debt to that inmate for double or triple of what he gave you. So stay away from this trick and don’t get victimized by the scam artists in there. Live off what you have. However if you dont have much learn how to bargain and trade the things you do have.

How to survive prison #3 - Be respectful to the guards anf follow their rules but don’t turn into an informant. Another thing is to not be seen hanging out with the guards or being their friends. Just remember that guards aren’t your friends and they can betray you at any time. Keep this in mind. Also, if you see an act of violence or a crime, and that guard asks you what you saw, always say you saw nothing. If another inmate stabs another inmate, and it happens right in front of you, you tell the guards you saw nothing. In jail if you stand on trial in a course case or testify this makes you a rat. And a dead man.

How to survive prison #4 - I suggest you study martial arts and look into self defense courses. Knowing how to fight is one of the biggest survival tactics of the prison system. If someone threatens you, or starts problems with you, and you can’t talk your way out of it, throw fists. Just be aware of the people you are fighting and their political status behind bars. If they are in a gang be careful, but always stand your ground. Don’t be a coward and take a beating cause it will happen often. Soon enough another inmate will own you, because you need protection. Making you his punk.

What could be worse than having no girlfriend at all?

How about falling in love with the WRONG woman?

More guys have gotten into trouble over a woman than anyone can really put a number on. It happens all of the time. A guy falls for a girl and lets go of reason and the next thing he knows, he’s either up to his neck in debt or he’s banging his head against the wall, waiting for a few precious moments to have some time away from her.

Some guys get so used to it, it’s what they expect from relationships with women. Let’s not even get into the situations where a woman will get a guy into fights and other situations that are completely more drama than what they are worth.

So, how can you make sure that you don’t end up falling for the WRONG woman?

1. Get some experience with women.

A lot of guys that end up with the wrong woman do so because they don’t have enough experience dating a variety of women. The more experience that you can get and the more variety that you can get a taste from, the less likely it is that you will end up allowing yourself to be with the wrong woman. Why would you when you would have the confidence that you can go out there and attract a woman that doesn’t have the baggage, the drama, and the hold over you and your credit card?

2. Make her work for YOUR approval.

Most guys will do all that they can to win approval for a woman. This is usually when they fall into the trap of doing things that they don’t want to or would never do just to win her over. If you turn things around and make her work for your approval, not only will this be a challenge to her, but also, you will be setting things off on a much better ground than pulling out your credit card or doing something stupid just to make her like YOU.

3. Never settle for less than what you expect.

This comes down a lot to your self confidence and your expectations of what you should get from a woman. If you don’t let your expectations fall too low, then you will not put up with some of the garbage or the baggage that the WRONG woman can try to throw on you. You have to make sure you keep your standards high, and not just in the way that she looks.

It’s kind of a crushing blow to have to deal with a breakup with your ex-girlfriend. Sometimes it can come from what seems like nowhere and other times, you can look back and see the signs were there. Whatever your situation is, it does not make it any easier whether you saw it coming or you didn’t. If you really want to be with your ex girlfriend and you feel like you have lost her, then you just want to get her back.

Although it might seem improbable, you can get your ex-girl back. What most guys do wrong, is that they go about getting her back the way that they think should work, and NOT in the way that really does.

What makes sense logically is not going to be the thing that will attract her back. No, you have to look at it from a more emotional level if you really want to have her back in your arms and back with you, where she should be.

So, what is a guy to do?

What will work to get your girlfriend back when you feel as though you have lost her for good?

Here are some tips that are almost sure to work to get your ex girlfriend back:

1. Give yourself the time to deal with it. Let’s face it, it’s tough. And you may need a few days to really get used to the fact that she is no longer your girlfriend. You need the time to deal with the breakup and be able to process everything that has just happened in your mind. If you don’t allow this to happen, then you are not going to be in the proper frame of mind to get your ex-girlfriend back.

2. Try not to RUSH into getting her back. The mistakes that you can make when you try to rush into getting back with your ex-girlfriend may be exactly what makes her take a more permanent exit from YOU. She needs to have some time and so do you. You also have to work at making her want to be back in a relationship with you, and rarely does this happen overnight.

3. Don’t make a fool of yourself by not planning what to do to get her back. In this kind of a situation, it’s easy to make a fool of yourself in front of your ex-girlfriend. So many guys will even drop to their knees and start crying and begging to get her back. What you need to do is to come at her with a real plan to attract her back, otherwise, what is going to make her feel like she should be with YOU?
