The Escape to Cabo

He was in the early stages of a comfortable middle-class, middle-age existence when he decided it was now or never to act upon his fantasy... Acting alone, the first time he robbed a bank everything went surprisingly smooth, and, had he decided to make do with that one adventure, all might have continued as normal for the father of two daughters and manager of an automobile showroom. Giving in one more time to the imp of the perverse was to prove his undoing, he had stumbled into the middle of a federal sting and ended up in jail with enough charges against him to ensure that he would be very old before he was a free man once again. The Prosecutor assigned to his case was vindictive and out for blood, the judge reputed to “Hang” those that dare to stand before him. Scott Frieze eschewed the offer of a plea-bargain, electing to face the prosecutor and judge head-on, armed only with the truth.Prison was a strange and challenging place for him, especially considering the fact that, at the age of forty-one, he was looked upon as an old-man and a likely target for the sharks and predators that dominated his new world. A realistic and memorable accounting of the daily routine of long-term prisoners. When he finally finished serving his sentence and released he found that he was leaving a family of people he had grown to care about. An emotion sparking, dramatic, true-to-life experience highlighting the challenges faced by new parolees, who need to find lodging and a job by those willing to house or hire ex-cons whom are being supervised by parole officers determined to see them returned to prison.Palpable desperation, smooth and powerful, with drama and triumph over a bureaucracy that sees prisoners as a source of slave labor and recidivism as a corporate profit maker.
