Cards For The Incarcerated -- Just What Mom Needs!

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Finding it hard to express just the right sentiment to your loved one in prison?

A Los Angeles company may have the answer.

Attorney Terrye Cheathem founded Three Squares Greetings, which provides cards for inmates.

Some express simple good wishes: "We are all praying for you while you do your time."

But most show a tougher sort of love. A Christmas greeting partly reads: "You had the choice to be 'naughty or nice.' And you chose ... Oh well, now you have to do your time."

Cheathem says she came up with the cards when her brother-in-law served 11 months in prison. She said she went searching for the appropriate greeting card, but couldn't find what she was looking for.

Cheathem designs and writes the cards and sells them online and at a handful of stores across the nation.
