Reception
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]
