Book
The brethren / John Grisham.
Trumble is a minimum security federal prison, home to three former judges who call themselves The Brethren. They meet each day in the law library, where they write briefs, handle cases for other inmates, practice law without a license, and sometimes dispense jailhouse justice. They are also fine-tuning a mail scam, and it's starting to really work. The money is pouring in.

Summary
The Brethren
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. One was sent up for tax evasion. Another, for skimming bingo profits. The third for a career-ending drunken joyride. Meeting daily in the prison law library, taking exercise walks in their boxer shorts, these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong. Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich--very fast. And so they sit, sprawled in the prison library, furiously writing letters, fine-tuning a wickedly brilliant extortion scam--while events outside their prison walls begin to erupt. A bizarre presidential election is holding the nation in its grips, and a powerful government figure is pulling some very hidden strings. For the Brethren, the timing couldn't be better. Because they've just found the perfect victim. Don't miss John Grisham's new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!
