Prison manufacturing is big business-About $800 Million Dollars a year and that is true A plan to embezzle millions was going just fine until the mistake was made of hiring three savvy women and the red flags went up. When they suspect something is afoot, the trio takes things into their own hands by staging an undercover investigation that while successful, is more like bumbling Charlie's Angels. Join Kimberly, Cameron and Kate as they unravel the twists and turns in this clever crime caper and suspicion turns into danger, surprise and unexpected results. The authors both have experience with marketing furniture manufactured in federal prisons and this book could not have been written without that knowledge. Some of the scenes are inspired by things that really happened, and while it is fiction, every detail was carefully thought out to create a clever scam that actually could have worked in real life. Manufacturing in federal and state prison factories is a rehabilitation program for inmates and as employees of the marketing team St. James and Rowe toured some federal prison factories and met inmates who were learning trades that they can use after their incarceration ranging from office skills to operation of modern computerized manufacturing equipment. It is a self-supporting division of the system that has proven successful in reducing recidivism--return to prison--by a significant percentage.
