/Lit/ about prison life

[Anonymous No.17721205]

Looking for books on prison life.
Documentaries or podcasts are also okay.
I'm not looking for soap opera documentaries or bs podcasts such as "Ear hustle".

Since every chan member has a wealth of experience from jail, I came here to get something more authentic.

In the Belly of the Beast by Jack Henry Abbott. Consists of letters he wrote to Norman Mailer about being imprisoned in the late 70s/80s for manslaughter, bank robbery, and forgery.
Cherry by Nico Walker sorta/kinda fits the bill as he wrote it while incarcerated although it isn't explicitly about prison life, more about drug abuse, his time in the military, and robbing banks to support his drug addiction which started in the military.
The House of the Dead by Dostoevsky is about his time in a Siberian prison camp during the 1850s(?)

George Sylvester Viereck's "Men Into Beasts" is something I've been meaning to read

>Here is a book that reveals this "Shame of Our Prisons." It is a firsthand account of the evils that flourish behind bars, written by a man who lived through it as a prisoner himself, a man internationally famous as poet and novelist. Viereck was imprisoned from 1942 to 1947 for failing to register as a Nazi agent. The author's description of homosexuality in prison, combined with the lurid front cover make this arguably one of the earliest books of gay pulp.

There's a version on lulu (with another book included) cheaper than trying to find an original print, I can't find any scans online

I always have a sweet spot for Ernst von Salomon talking about his time in prison. He details it in the last third of "The Outlaws" and also partly in his "Questionnary". Other than that, von Salomon himself recommended Hans Falladas prison-novel as the standard work. In German it's called "Wer einmal aus dem Blechnapf frißt", though I dont remember its english name. Still certain it has an english translation.

Malcolm Braly- On the Yard is pretty good.
Prison memoirs of an anarchist- Berkman.

Watch afterprisonshows early videos. Just the way he talks and acts gives you a good impression on how people interact and speak.

The Prison Notes of Codreanu are good. I don't know how interesting they can be without the context of For My Legionaries though.

Tupac is the poet of prison life and thug life. Literature can’t compete with him.

>First of all - right - if he's a newcomer - right - I want him to suck my ass with jelly. What they call "tossin' salad." That's the slang word - tossin' salad. It means "suckin' my ass," right? With jelly, or without jelly, some people use syrup. I prefer a guy to use jelly, right?

>I will reach my climate. Right? I will automatic get hard. Right? I will - you know - cum, automatically, if he's suckin' my ass for about ten minutes or longer, right? It's a sensation feeling, and it makes you feel real good.

>Most all gays do that. You know what I'm sayin'. They like guys to suck they ass. It's just like a pussy. Right, but the only different is, it's not a pussy, right, it's clean, the person's decent, the person know that that's an asshole, but, in mind, you lookin' at it as a pussy, because, he's in prison, so... toss my salad. Let him eat me; you know... and we straight. That's it.

>The most hazardous thing in prison life, is bein' debt over drugs. It can get you killt, or raped - one or the other. You can't pay. I had one opportunity where three guys... two of 'em owed me money. Right? So I knew I couldn't get them together.

>So what I did, I got one, one day, on a Saturday... I sucked his dick in the closet. You know I'm sayin', I sucked his dick, you know, I had his pants down, he helpless. That's it. He helpless. Right? His dick hard. I'm suckin' on it, right? I came right up and I cut him. And that's why I left him in the closet.

>He didn't tell - cuz' he couldn't 'splain... how could he 'splain that a faggot suckin' his dick can come up and cut him? He COULDN'T essplain dat! There's no way in hell he could explain it to the administration.

The Midnight Express

[Anonymous No.17724865]

The first third of The Centurions is set in a Vietnamese prison camp, but that experience is very different than anything else in this thread. Similarly, Survivors by Zalin Grant is a dozen or so veterans recounting their experiences in the same POW camp in Vietnam. Pimp by Iceberg Slim recounts his life on the streets and he spends a considerable amount of it behind bars. If you look there are a good number of memoirs of people that went through the gulag system.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Mein Kampf yet.

It's just a podcast about prisoners trying to make podcasts, and the woman keeps on giving shallow questions. It's all incredibly dumbed down. Plus I can't stand nigger talk.
