Summary
- Taylor Sheridan's first book, 'How to Not Die in Prison,' debuts this summer.
- The guide offers dark humor and practical advice for prison survival.
- Sheridan researched prison for 'Mayor of Kingstown' but never experienced it himself.
Creator of "Yellowstone," Taylor Sheridan, is adding "published author" to his resume with his debut book, "How to Not Die in Prison." This survival guide, co-authored by Tom Nelson, is set for release this summer by Simon & Schuster. Described as a "darkly funny" manual, it promises to teach readers how to navigate the perilous environment of maximum-security prisons.
The book reportedly covers a wide range of survival tactics, including how to handle riots, lockdowns, and violence, alongside practical aspects like finding work and maintaining sanity. Sheridan acknowledges in the introduction that his expertise stems from research for the TV series "Mayor of Kingstown," rather than personal experience.
Co-author Tom Nelson, who has spent significant time incarcerated, offers a contrasting perspective, highlighting the book's unique blend of Sheridan's creative reach and Nelson's lived experience. The collaboration aims to provide both vital information and compelling entertainment.
