Sean has been working at Sing Sing prison for 7 and 1/2 years. Displayed by guest Edmar Florez were the early wardens of Sing Sing and their accomplishments. Sean carries a baton but no gun to protect himself from the inmates. He had story about movie "20,000 Years at Sing Sing" featuring Spencer Tracy and Betty Davis. His success on the job is to follow his advice; go to school and better yourself, and he ended with the "right mind set."  Prisoners earn 14 cents per hour and use money to buy goodies at prison store.
