What state? In a Ca level 4 (max) if you are a gp inmate you get as much out of cell time as you can manipulate your control cop to give you. If you are not on lockdown you will go to yard maybe every day. If you are good at system manipulation you can have a day where you, go to chapel, education, canteen, laundry, medical, come back to the unit and clean if you are a porter or cut hair if you are a barber or go cell to cell and chit chat if you are a mac rep, take a shower, attend day room, talk on the phone then go home for the night. You might spend 12 hrs in your cell in a 24 hour period. Yes, that is a level "4". On the other hand you could be a bad boy and get yourself tossed in ASU and come out for a shower and a three hour yard every other day. Yard time is to total at least 10 hours per week (offered). As far as jobs go, that depends on what kind of industry the prison runs. Most prisons will use inmates to run the kitchens, do the laundry and clean the units. If they have industies like woodworking or autoshop or shoe factories and such then if the inmates qualify to work they can get those jobs as well and possibly learn a trade and get paid and earn day for day credit while doing it. Not bad, three free meals a day, showers, free soap and toilet paper, free medical care, tv, disc man, radio, free laundry service picked up right at your door if you so choose, free college education and a trade to fall back on if that doesn't work out for you, free legal help, access to legal material to work on your appeals and I almost forgot, free room and board. As far as personal property goes, that will vary greatly from institution to institution and even within the same institution depending on your custody status, A1A, A2B, ASU, SHU and so on. And all this is for a maximum security prison so just add to that for the medium and you will have a good idea. Hope it helps.

Pow Wow has an amazing (in not such a good way, but in a way that is truthful and intense) experience and is very similar to many correction officers experiences. All I have to say is, no matter the security level, your safety is at risk 100% of the time. You have to treat each level as if it is the highest level there is. Never slip up.
