Apparently the prison made goods industry is booming. Gone are the days of orange jumpsuits simply stamping out license plates. Organizations like the Maryland Correctional Enterprise make over 42 million in yearly profits selling stuff like fine crafted wood furniture, lavish jewelry, ornate lamps, and freaky coffee mugs. Inmates that work for these prison companies can make around $1 - $3 a day (enough to by 5 cigarettes or one shank). If you’re interested getting your hands on these items made by real prison bitches head to WoodstoGoods.com.. The site has lots of decent stuff from correctional institutions in Maine and parts of Oregon (not sure where’s the connection). Some of their top selling items are…
Made from solid oak or ash.
Works on metal.
Made of sterling silver and 14k gold.
Made of X% cotton, and maybe some rayon.

ReplyDeletedo people really want to help support someone who fucked up enough they ended up in prison?
Um, I say hell no!
Interesting... I thought they just made things to send back home as presents.
ReplyDeleteI swear I think I heard about this. Ha ha, nice hoodie!
ReplyDeleteNow that's quality. I've been looking for a new trade, perhaps I should get arrested so that I can let my inner woodworker come out.
ReplyDeleteToo bad they couldn't utilize those talents before they went to prison!
ReplyDeleteThis just further solidifies my belief that I need to be in charge of everything...
ReplyDeleteI'm with Ms. Anthropy....and I'll let Pat Tillett be in charge. (But I do love that bracelet.)
ReplyDeletewell, I guess at least they are being useful!
