Florida Inmates Play Poker with Cold Case Cards
Decks of cards were handed out last year to Florida prison inmates with wanted felons printed on them in hopes of dredging up new leads, and now a new deck is being unveiled with cold case info. The 52 card deck has local cold cases profiled on each card, and police are hoping that the people that might know the most will be forthcoming with information if they see something that jogs their memory while they play poker. Ten thousand decks of cards will be deployed to the Tomoka Correctional Institution and local jails.
