Publisher's Synopsis
As you read Paul Harrington's day-to-day and month-to-month experiences within the state's prison system, you will see a broken system - one that is full of loopholes, lies, cover-ups and corruption. This system is full of daily violence and numerous officers are injured by violent inmates. Each officer has their unique view of the prison system. Here, Harrington wishes to share his perspective of how different administrations created changes in the daily operations at Fishkill Correctional Facility, where he was stationed after a 15-month stint at Sing Sing. Not every day was routine, albeit that is how most officers wanted it, including the author. Even the inmates wanted to know what to expect on their assigned units each day they woke up. This book will take you down the hallways and up the stairs of Fishkill's various buildings in its vast complex. It will show you everything from contraband weapons to a takeover note written by inmates 20 years ago following a homicide of a prisoner that led to 40 inmates being shipped out just hours later.
