New Jack: Guarding Sing Sing is a gripping memoir that offers a rare glimpse into the intense and often dangerous world of corrections officers. In this book, author John Smith shares his personal experiences working as a guard at one of the most infamous prisons in the United States, Sing Sing Correctional Facility.

From dealing with violent inmates to navigating the complex dynamics of prison culture, Smith provides a candid and eye-opening account of his time as a "New Jack" in one of the toughest environments imaginable.

A compelling and thought-provoking read, New Jack: Guarding Sing Sing sheds light on the complexities of the criminal justice system and offers a unique perspective on the realities of incarceration from the other side of the bars.
