Her parents hadn't talked to each other for 30 years until her mother showed up to see Taketha Wilkins' experience as part of a play. It was in prison, where Wilkins said she is serving an eight- year sentence for robbery. The play, "Prison Stories III," was performed a month ago inside the Shelby County Correction Center in preparation for a public debut Thursday at TheatreWorks . Stories bottled up for years pour out in the play. They are stories of pent-up anger, death, meth labs, beatings, babies, prison food and, oddly, a joy in sharing the saddest stories.
A California murder convict working as a car salesman at a Salt Lake dealership had his parole revoked for a local arrest, but it was months before Utah officials knew. Cleon Jones was arrested Feb. 15 on multiple first-degree felonies after an 18-year-old woman said she was raped at gunpoint in her West Valley apartment.

Employee fraud has increased in frequency and intensity during the past few years, leading employers to step up their use of background checks. These investigations provide opportunities for CPAs and forensic accountants, but they also present legal pitfalls if accountants are not familiar with (FCRA).
