Inside
Out
Fifty
years behind the walls of New Jersey's Trenton State Prison
By Harry
Camisa and Jim Franklin
Inside
Out takes the reader on a very personal tour of what it is
like to be a prison guard for one of highest security prisons in
New Jersey. Harry Camisa allows the reader to look at 50 years of
his life as a prison guard at Trenton State Prison. This book looks
at how Mr. Camisa dealt with prisoners on an equal basis, no matter
what the crime was for the person in prison. Inside Out also allows
the reader to look at the death penalty and how prison guards deal
with it on an individual level.
Mr.
Camisa and Mr. Franklin take the time to let readers have a unique
look at the inside of a prison and how it can affect individuals.
The writing is easy to follow. There are also pictures of individual
prisoners and of the prison during its many years of changes that
coincide with the writing. The reader never is lost at the points
that Mr. Camisa and Mr. Franklin make throughout the book. They
speak about being equal despite being in a prison. Ms. Camisa developed
some great relationships with people that he might not have done
otherwise if he had not had the hard job of being a prison guard.
This
reader thanks Mr. Camisa and Mr. Franklin for taking the time to
tell this unique and interesting story of being a prison guard.
This reader recommends that people that are interested in prison
life read this inside story.
