Raymond White has everything going for him; successful career as a lawyer, beautiful girlfriend, and a pending seat in Congress. White, a self-made man of modest pedigree, was only one step away from political office and marriage to the woman he loved. When White's mentor, a dying congressman, asked White to deliver a package as a final wish, White couldn't refuse. After delivering this package, a group of jealous colleagues led him into an ingenious murder setup. White, out of the picture, each of his rivals thrives in wealth for years to come. Convicted of murder White is sentenced to life in prison. Living in a maximum security prison in upstate New York and convicted of a murder he didn't commit, his only thoughts are finding the men who put him there. After living in seclusion for sixteen years, White befriends a well-educated older art thief named Lester Cole. Cole educates White with three rules for surviving prison life, as described by Cole, “First rule: Never show fear. Second rule: never be a mouse. Third rule: exact revenge” (86). Soon their friendship blossoms from a student/teacher relationship to a son/father relationship. Elder Cole holds the key to unlocking the locked doors of the past. Together, they plan an imaginative escape. During the escape, Lester is shot and killed, but White succeeds in his escape. With a new name and unimaginable wealth at his fingertips, this gives White the power to make all his enemies pay, and pay sincerely. Raymond does not want quick revenge on his enemies. Nothing is as simple, fast and easy as death. Raymond wants to make sure that each of the men is tortured in a way that equals or exceeds the pain and suffering he endured all those years while he was imprisoned... in the middle of a sheet of paper... working in an environment based on teamwork or in a workplace made up of workers working independently. Ensuring that each employee's workplace goals and values are united with the organization's mission and vision is important to creating and maintaining a high level of motivation. This can lead to greater efficiency, better work quality and financial gain across all divisions. While working in prison I motivated the inmates to work as hard as they could. Some inmates stole for this reason, others left. I always thought that inmates who left were just too lazy. I know I understand that every inmate can be motivated by understanding their differences.
