You can`t do this impression in the way you want to do it, that`s why it can go in harm. Prison is a terrible thing, and unpleasant, but, nevertheless, people can live there. It turns out that there are two options, either a person living on the thieves’ law, or the people who were there, come up with something of their own. And often it turns out that here, this initiative is even worse. In prison, there is a saying: “Thieves law – the most fair, but don`t looking for the fairness in it.” At first glance, it’s irrational, but nevertheless, here and there is some logic and if you get to the prison, you must to try to understand it.

In particular, “by the rules” of the thieves’ law, you can not mock a person newly arrived and require this person to execution of knowing any rules, without explaining it to her.

If a person have a good belongs to all the others, then her own good will come back to her. And if she tries to cheat, to twist, it all ultimately are penalized. There are cases when it is very hard for the woman when somebody bullied over her. In this situation, you should try to go to another cell.

Prison is still a certain society, where is a certain social “hierarchy” and its rules of conduct, with which you must to be reckoned. These rules of conduct are formulated to have got to the people from different categories to exist together, and for a long time. Anyone and anywhere needs an anarchy, and in the prison everyone knows it. So, being in this society, we must first understand for ourself – who we are, and secondly,try to  understand others.

At the same time, most importantly thing is always be honest, decent and fair person.

People, even there, valued and respected this. And yet we must be good, because goodness is the first sign of strength and people feel it. In this regard, cartoon “Mowgli” is very instructive, because it`s very good in this context to indicate the matter of the subject. But we can`t do anything without God. He repented, how to be, and give you a strength.

According to the law of thieves, one person can not stand up for the other. There everybody must talk about herself. And under this law you shall be punished, if you help somebody. Not in each cell is so bad situation. Somewhere, someone can protect the weak.

You must be able to empathize with people who are around you. What you do not want to yourself –  don`t do for others.

What useful lesson you can get in the prison?

Life experience of faith in God and faith in our strength together with God. Understanding that by myself I am nothing, but with God I can do something. When I pray, if I stay, try to keep the commandments of God, I will turn to Him, then everything is possible to do. This experience is invaluable.
