The latest in a long chain of directors of New York City's toughest juvenile detention facility confronts a staff which is both demoralized and resentful of power. As the jail's first black director, she must cope with a mostly black staff long accustomed to "getting over" - giving less than full effort and rationalizing its approach in terms of the perceived indifference of a "downtown" white power structure.
