Trumble is a minimum-security federal prison, a "camp," home to the

usual assortment of relatively harmless criminals—drug dealers, bank

robbers, swindlers, embezzlers, tax evaders, two Wall Street crooks, one

doctor, at least five lawyers.

And three former judges who call themselves the Brethren: one from

Texas, one from California, and one from Mississippi. They meet each day

in the law library, their turf at Trumble, where they write briefs,

handle cases for other inmates, practice law without a license, and

sometimes dispense jailhouse justice. And they spend hours writing

letters. They are fine-tuning a mail scam, and it's starting to really

work. The money is pouring in.

Then their little scam goes awry. It ensnares the wrong victim, a

powerful man on the outside, a man with dangerous friends, and the

Brethren's days of quietly marking time are over.
