Through the Eyes of a Screw
by Harold E. Hallett
In this book, former corrections officer, Harold E, Hallet -- (the “screw of
the title) – chronicles in harrowing detail the day-today workings of the
maximum security Colorado State Penitentiary where the author toiled from
1965 to 1984. His insider’s view of prison life is strong stuff, and he is
unrelenting in his candor about the “routines” of prison life: racial
tension, drug abuse, stabbings, rape, an atmosphere of violence. Illustrated
with B&W photos.
Carlton Press, New York, 1992, 336 pages, 5 ½” x 8 ¼”, red cloth with black
lettering, dust jacket, illustrated.
