ESSAY ON: Ted Conover's "Newjack : Guarding Sing Sing"

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Voluntarily spending time in the nation's second largest maximum security prison is not a challenge most people would take; however, when the objective to both experience and understand the shrouded world that exists outside of the public eye is brought on by oneself, the formidable task is pursued. Such was the case with Ted Conover's journalistic research behind Newjack : Guarding Sing Sing. Refused entry to capture this unseen community as a journalist, Conover – who obviously takes his work very seriously – ventured to become a corrections officer in order to achieve his literary goal. What he finds on the inside after months of intensive training is a world unlike anything about which he had ever read. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
