Ben is an identity thief. His scam is fairly straightforward: he has a skimmer that he puts on the credit card reader at the gas station. When unsuspecting patrons pay for their gasoline, Ben gets a copy of their credit card information. Ben has just purchased a Mercedes Benz under one of his unsuspecting victim's names. When the car dealer does the credit check, they find that there is an alert for potential stolen identity. Ben is arrested, charged, convicted, and sentenced to 10 years in prison. As an identity thief who is good with numbers and money, Ben makes friends inside prison pretty quickly. He runs a betting ring that both correctional officers and inmates are part of and Ben gives pointers to some of the younger guys. In addition to Ben's betting practice, he has a job in the
captain's office helping crunch numbers and budgets. What does Ben accomplish by working in the captain's office?
A. Vocational training will help Ben at his parole hearing.
B. This is the concept of a work furlough.
C. He is working toward his degree in accounting.
D. Correctional administration needs to keep inmates busy.
