From here:
http://www.projo.com/sharedcontent/d...e.3302abf.html Mr. Ramsey was still completing his sentence when he earned his commercial driver's license in 2004. In his final months behind bars, he drove a truck for the Texas prison system, delivering produce and other goods to units around the state as a guard followed in a separate vehicle. Mr. Ramsey said his work as a truck driver since leaving prison has enabled him to become a productive citizen. His record is clean: no accidents or tickets as a commercial truck driver, according to state records. He lives in Dallas with his wife. He takes pride in his professionalism, and he's devoted to the moving company that hired him when he was released from prison. "I'm going to bust my tail for these people because they've given me a chance," Mr. Ramsey said, declining to name his employer. and from here: http://www.projo.com/sharedcontent/d...s.3319667.html Over the last 10 years, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice program has trained more than 1,200 inmates to drive big trucks. More than 900 received their commercial driver's licenses while in prison, state records show. How these drivers have performed on Texas highways is unclear. The state-run school district that trains inmates to be truckers said it doesn't track them once they leave prison. It refused to release inmate names so The News could cross-check them with Texas accident and driver's license records, and it declined a request to let reporters observe prison truck-driver training classes. The newspaper has asked the attorney general for a ruling under the Texas Public Information Act.

Please hack into the federal reserve and make a rather large transfer to my checking account. Thank you so very much.

Big difference between a supervised training program and one where they turn two convicted felons lose to roam the country unsupervised.
I don't recall MartenDwelrCa mentioning one of the drivers being a guard or the invisible guard vehicle following them. Also, no link to the Federal Bureau of Prisons showing this program that allows convicted felons still incarcerated playing BBR. Nice try, but as usual with a super trucker story, no facts to back it up.

Mareten DwelrCA, I took your advice and looked through the entire BOP site and the Occupational Training Programs Directory and found no mention of trucker training or work release programs for truck drivers., as I knew I wouldn't. Not even a mention of truck driving jobs. Strange.
 Federal Bureau of Prisons: http://www.bop.gov/ Occupational Training Programs Directory: http://www.bop.gov/inmate_programs/occ_train.pdf Feel free, now that I provided the links to prove this secret society of prison dwellers exists anywhere but in your mind. I know dwelling must get boring, but really, when you dream up stories, don't expect everyone to ohh and ahh your fantasy. Some actually will call you out on it.
