Ben Is an Identity Thief

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. Ben has a beef with one of the other inmates. The other guy hasn't paid his gambling debt but keeps betting on games. Ben is growing tired of dealing with the inmate, but he is trying not to lose his head. Why won't he go ahead and get his money at any cost?

A) Ben is not a violent criminal.
B) Ben is a low man in the prison hierarchy.
C) There is an inmate social code.
D) The importation model.
