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. Getting used to prison hasn't been easy for Ben. He is a
homosexual and was in a committed relationship on the outside, and now he misses his partner. Even though he is in an all-male institution, he has never been assaulted or victimized. Other inmates seem to respect him. Why might this be?
A. Ben's partner comes to visit and others know he is "off limits."
B. Ben has been prisonized.
C. Ben ignores the inmate social code.
D. Ben is "true" to himself.
