Summary: New Jack, Guarding Sing Sing
Comment: This book gives you a real insite as to not only what the inmates go thru but also what the officers and their families contend with on a daily bases. I think it is a great way to get an idea of what really happens behind bars.

Summary: Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing
Comment: As a Corrections Officer in a maximum security prison, I am often asked about the job I do, and always found it difficult to put it into words. Fortunately, Ted Conover did just that in this book. When friends or family ask about my work, I buy them a copy of Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing, and then offer to discuss it with them after they have finished. I find the book parallels closely the way I felt in my rookie year, and it gives those around me a better insight into my career.

Summary: Liberal screw
Comment: Yeah, it's swell that he had the state pay for his training and then quit just to make a buck selling a book. It just seemed to me he was so scared that he didn't have the time to actually understand the prison. Being there for only one year makes it really difficult to understand the real workings of any prison. He spends most of his time writing about how he feels sorry for the inmates and how society has given them a raw deal. He goes so far as to pass out contraband to inmates tht he didn't even like in the first place. It's written in such an objective way that he didn't even need to work there in the first place to write this book. He barely touches on anything new in regards to the prison sub-culture.
