Unless you are prepared, you could be looking at the most stressful time of your entire life. There are many dangers inside prison walls that you should be aware of. For example, sexual assaults are more common then you think. Every year, there are hundreds of thousands of rapes and assaults in prison. You should know how to protect yourself from these so you don’t become another victim.

Some tips you should know before stepping one foot inside a jail cell are:

- Know how to handle yourself in the first 24 hours inside. This will dictate how other inmates will treat you.

- What not to say during an interview for probation.
