Overview
- The publisher describes the book as a darkly funny, no-nonsense guide to life in a maximum-security prison.
- Sheridan writes in the introduction that he has never been to prison and addresses the irony directly.
- Co-author Tom Nelson, who spent more than a decade behind bars, provides the on-the-ground perspective.
- The guide covers surviving riots, lockdowns, stabbings, hits, and solitary, plus jobs, mental survival, prison ramen, tattoos, and makeshift weapons.
- This marks Sheridan’s first book, extending the résumé of the Oscar-nominated writer behind Hell or High Water, Yellowstone, Tulsa King, and Mayor of Kingstown.
