How to Self Regulate in Prison

How do you show up in prison? Do you need to self regulate or have a certain energy. Most people that I see in prison are relatively open and talkative because there's some potential advantage of them cooperating with me. The people that don't cooperate are either genuinely mentally ill, they could be disorientated. Some people are actually too fair to be fair. They're not aggressive but they can be intimidating or menacing. And sometimes like they're trying to make you do that. This is maybe the first time you feel the first time into prison. Did you was obviously there with a kind of menace there with a lot of prisoners so presumably the inmates aren't friendly towards you at all
