Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing
Topic:
Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing
Paper details:
Each student will be required to write ONE 30-point “reflection” paper on ONE of the supplemental texts required in this course (First Available Cell, Worse than Slavery, or Newjack). Reflection papers provide you an opportunity to examine the legal evolution of prison systems in America, regional differences in
the administration of prisons presently and historically, and identify different ways in which prisons are administered consistent with course goals and objectives. Students are required to reflect upon what they learned and provide their thoughts and opinions on the information in the chosen book.
A reflection paper is not meant to be a regurgitation of information presented in the book. Do not provide me with a review of the book’s content. Rather, provide your own thoughts, opinions, and unique insight from the information learned in your reading—in short, your reaction to the information.

Your reflection paper must be 4 pages in length, double-spaced. It should be focused and concise, clearly setting out your organized reactions to the reading. It should be well organized by utilizing descriiptive headings to organize your paper. Failure to reflect on the material and provide specific thoughts and opinions and arguments on the substantive content in the book will result in loss of points. Point loss will
also result from failing to adhere to the requirements, and for papers with grammatical, spelling, and
organizational issues.
