Orange Is the New BlackNewjack: Guarding Sing SingTed ConoverHere is a wonderful talk I had in 2010 with Ted Conover, the revered immersive journalist who wrote Newjack: Guarding Sing-Sing about working as a correctional officer for a year in a maximum-security prison. It's a fantastic book.
I adore Ted and his writing; he was kind enough to come to Ohio to visit with my class of incarcerated writers. Hope you enjoy this old clip, it does offer a deep dive and a snapshot of my perspective when Orange Is the New Black was first released.
