You Are Going to Prison is a non-fiction book by Jim Hogshire. It is a practical survival guide for those who are facing their first experience with incarceration.[1] It was loosely adapted into the 2006 comedy film Let's Go to Prison.[2]
Reception
[edit]Commending the book for "affording the potential convict a somewhat more realistic appraisal of the dangers of prison life and workable responses to them", Booklist argued in 1994 that "Hogshire has filled a totally empty niche in the reference ecology".[1] By 2006, Entertainment Weekly referred to You Are Going to Prison as "Jim Hogshire's classic underground tome".[3]
