I'll be there next month so I have about a week to read a book on my new type of environment.

Just draw the parallels yourself and apply the work ethic.When I was 'in' I'd read much of what they had in the bookcases, a Bible, whatever is hanging on the walls, to be informed and engaged with the time spent there. Read everything. From food packaging to judicial documents. And now I'm out.
