DESC: A journalist recounts the year he spent as a corrections officer at the notorious prison, offering a true insider's view of the culture of its guards--both idealistic "new jacks" like himself and brutally hardened veterans, prison rituals like strip frisks and cell searches, and the impasse between the need to imprison criminals and the dehumanization of both guards and inmates that almost inevitably takes place behind bars.
