Ever wonder what life is like inside a maximum security prison? Not from a prisoner's standpoint--novels and non-fiction abound from that viewpoint--but from a prison guard's (they refute that laymans term, they're Corrections Officers). Newjack (the nickname for a rookie CO) is the story of the author's "undercover" year as a CO at Sing Sing.
