So begins his odyssey at Sing Sing, once a model prison but now the New York State's most troubled maximum- security facility. Acclaimed journalist Ted Conover sets a new standard for bold, in-depth reporting in this first- hand account of life inside the penal system. When Conover's request to shadow a recruit at the New York State Corrections Officer Academy was denied, he decided to apply for a job as a prison officer. So begins his odyssey at Sing Sing, once a model prison but now the state's most troubled maximum-security facility. The result of his year there is this remarkable look at one of America's most dangerous prisons, where drugs, gang wars, and sex are rampant, and where the line between violator and violated is often unclear. As sobering as it is suspenseful, Newjack is an indispensable contribution to the urgent debate about our country's criminal justice system, and a consistently fascinating read. 600 10 Conover, Ted.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n83121333 600 17 Conover, Ted.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/113659 610 20 Sing Sing Prison.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n84101644 610 20 Ossining Correctional Facility.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n84101617 610 27 Sing Sing Prison.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 592978 610 27 Ossining Correctional Facility.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/592977 650 0 Prisons|zNew York (State)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010108381|zOssining.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n82116941-781 650 0 Correctional personnel|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85033021|zNew York (State)|zOssining|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82116941-781|vBiography. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001237 650 0 Prisons|xOfficials and employees|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85107005|zNew York (State) |zOssining|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82116941 -781|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99001237 650 7 Prisons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1077326 650 7 Correctional personnel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/880226 650 7 Prisons|xOfficials and employees.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1077378 651 7 New York (State)|zOssining.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1221603 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026047 655 7 Autobiographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919894 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 398295 994 C0|bRID
