Ten Vietnamese

"George Malinow is a fifty-seven-year-old robber who has been in and out of prison (mostly in) since he was first put behind bars at the age of seventeen. He is an alumnus of Sing Sing, Wallkill, Clinton and Attica, and is currently an inmate at Green Haven, one of New York State's five maximum-security prisons. His life at Green Haven is fairly comfortable. His job outfitting inmates for parole with the set of street clothes the state allots to them is anything but arduous, and he is able to spend most of his time stealing and eating better food than the prison's mess hall serves, writing letters, painting pictures, watching television, and breaking such prison rules as not drinking liquor (without getting caught). He says that prison is "hell", but it is a hell to which he has been irresistibly drawn."--Jacket.
