Kudos to Florida’s Republican Attorney General Bill McCollum for supporting this innovative way of solving cold cases.
 
TAMPA, Fla. — There is not a lot to do in prison. Inmates talk. They play cards.
Special Agent Tommy Ray figured out a way for Florida's 92,000 state prison inmates to combine those activities and maybe help detectives crack a cold case or two. The veteran Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent helped launch a program to give inmates decks of playing cards featuring 104 of the state's most troubling unsolved murder and missing persons cases.
"What better way to get them talking than to have cards with the cases on them?" Ray said. "These are people who have been in there for years. That's the best source of information. There are a couple of high-profile cases I think we'll get solved."
This is a good idea that needs to spread.
