hello
I am writing a term paper on the daily life of a prisoner, i need information on what people daily schedule are while in prison. Example:what time they sleep, eat, shower, excerise, ext. if anyone would help that you would be great.. thanks.
Ps. im mainly looking within the US prison systems :p

Check out the letters from prisoners forum. There is some information about the Daily life of prisoners from their writings.

Dear NeedInfo:
I used to work in an IL prison... I ran a drug treatment program and would be happy to write out the schedule they followed....
I could also give you a general schedule for the rest of the prison... but a lot of it varies by individual inmate depending on what they choose to be involved in....
If you want me to email you some basic schedules, send me your Email address to JDsWifey02@aol.com...
:)

HEY - NEED INFO

i CAN GIVE YOU ONLY ONE SCHEDULE...
MOST INMATES ARE DIRECTED IN SCHEDULE BY THE TYPE JOB THEY HAVED...
MY SON WORKS IN THE UNIT KITCHEN. HE GETS UP AT 3:30 A.M. SHOWERS, DRESSES AND GOES TO WORK AT 4:00 A.M. IN THE KITCHEN.
THEY GET READY, COOK AND SERVE BREAKFAST BY 6:00 A.M. TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. THEY CLEAN UP THE KITCHEN AND THEN COOK AND SERVE LUNCH AT 11:00 A.M TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. HE GETS OFF WORK AT 11:30 A.M. A SECOND SHIFT KITCHEN THEN TAKES OVER AND SERVES THE DINNER MEAL.

HE USUALLY GOES BACK TO THE DORM AT 12:00 AND TAKES A 45 MINUTE NAP. AT 1:00 P.M HE GOES TO THE YARD TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND LIFT WEIGHTS.

HE STAYS OUTSIDE AT LEAST 2 HOURS IF THE WEATHER PERMITS. HE THEN GOES TO DORMITORY AND READS OR TO THE REC ROOM AND WATCHES TV. AT 6:00 HE CALLS HOME OR HIS FIANCEE. HE GOES BACK TO DORM AND READS AGAIN. HE GOES TO BED AT 9:00 PM IN ORDER TO RISE AT 3:30 THE NEXT DAY.
