The result is an unprecedented work of eyewitness journalism: the account of Conover's year-long passage into storied Sing Sing prison as a rookie guard, or "newjack." As he struggles to become a good officer, Conover angers inmates, dodges blows, and attempts, in the face of overwhelming odds, to balance decency with toughness. An intimate portrait of a world few readers have ever experienced, Newjack is a haunting journey into a dark undercurrent of American life.Less

4.6

Customers find the book to be an excellent memoir about a year spent as a guard at Sing Sing Prison. They also say it's instructive, enlightening, and eye-opening. Readers describe the writing style as well-written, elegant, and informal. Additionally, they mention the descriptions are real and true to life. However, some feel the early chapters are boring and the narrative drags on.
