Most prisoners waste their time, and when they come out, they become even more hardened criminals. This article will take you through a list of things you can do while being at prison and improve yourself before you are set free.

1
Start reading
Reading is one of the best things you can do while living in jail. Since being in prison gives you plenty of time, you can read lots of books, magazines and other informative sources. If you could not study due to crime life, this is the best chance for you to return to education. You can carry on your education that you left before coming to jail. In every jail, there are several educational programs available to prisoners such as technical education, regular education like graduation and schooling.

Interact with other prisoners
Interacting with other prisoners will help you meet new people and friends. Since prison is the place where people having different background come, you can find someone who shares the same interest and hobbies as you. If you are reading something good (a book for example), you can help each other out and share your ideas.

Develop a clean environment
Stop being lazy and maintain cleanliness in your surroundings. Usually, prisoners do not care much about cleanliness and they will do anything that makes them and their surroundings messy. Get into the habit of cleaning your clothes. You can give a helping hand to other prisoners as well.
