If the Feds Got You ...
You Need This NOW!

(Taken at FCI Ashland KY)
I do not know if you remember me but I met you ... just before I went away on my "federal vacation" for a year. ... I must tell you that I was pretty shut down emotionally before I left and I couldn't wrap my arms around your writings at the time. Well, little did I know how very honest and "right on" you were. I've been home a couple months now and I just re-read it. I hope you did write the book and I truly hope you can get it in the hands of the people who are about to endure prison. I could go on a soap box about the craziness and injustices that I witnessed at the camp but I will save that for now. Your writings are so different than the Novack & Ellis books. They were so politically correct but with not a sense of reality. You nailed it!!
I must say that I smiled and laughed at times reading it now and realizing that you will never really know what it's like inside unless you've been there. I am back to life with a new appreciation and a sense of gratitude. I certainly would not advise anyone to have our experience in federal prison but I would wish the clarity I have today on everyone around me.

Wow! You just gave me more info than I've been able to find with 100 hours of web searches, blogs, etc.
Thank you so much!!
(That was based on an Email I sent answering a few simple questiions, then she bought the book too; THANK YOU!!)

In a post on Wesley Snipes and his recent tax conviction and sentence to Federal Prison:
And if you, too, find yourself heading for a stay in a federal slammer, don't freak: the Sister City highly recommends, “The Ultimate Guide to Life Inside (and after) Federal Prison” by Mark Hrutkay. A self-proclaimed “Federal Prison for Idiots”-type book, you’ll find everything you need to know about life on the inside. The table of contents includes chapters such as: Before You Get In; Getting In; First Few Days; Procedure in Federal Prison; Communication With the Outside World; Your Life Here; Things You Shouldn’t Do; Spending Time on the Inside; and of course, Back to the Street.

Well, I guess it finally happened, someone at the Bureau of Prisons Central Office has read at least some of my book.
Wow, the impression I got was that they didn't like it.
As much as they didn't like it, they didn't really say there was much wrong with it.
It did affirm one of my theories that they don't get out of the office to see how the prisons are run very often.
If they don't like it, then all I can say is I must have done something right.

After I paid my lawyer, I was broke, I scraped up the money and bought your book. It made me feel a lot better than the lawyer ever did. I even think that it was worth more than the $35,000 I paid him. At least I feel like I really understand something about what is going to happen now. God Bless you!!!

My lawyer spent 20 minutes preparing me for prison. That left me so messed up, I didn't know what to do. I hate to admit it, but I bought another book on life in Federal Prison Camps. That was a waste. It made me think of way more questions than it answered. I didn't really want to buy another one, but I'm glad I did. Yours is great. I love the way it is laid out and I really needed to read the A&O Book at the end. It was a real deal.

I really just want to say WOW and thanks for putting together this book, wish so much I had had it a year and a half ago...my life fell apart, as his did. Thank you and I wish you all the luck with this great book.

Thank you, Mark. My son will be sentenced soon. It's wonderful to know that we have a source of knowledge.

And you are 100% right...no one even knows about what questions they should ask...all they ask about is GTC & Halfway houses...because no one thinks about the time inbetween the stay...they only think of getting sentenced and getting out.
You've got the ONLY real-deal, modern "handbook" on Federal prisons...

My days and hours are limited before I have to self surrender so I don’t have time to read the entire book, but I’m going to try … I feel so alone with all of this at times and every now and then a ray of sunshine, like yourself, pops through.

I’ve read through it a couple of times and find the information very good and written in a way to give specific information and at times to make it light. I can feel some anger in your writing and that’s probably because of my own anger towards the government and its injustice.
