Somebody has to sew the mailbags[1].


[1] I read with interest somewhere on the interweb that merkin cons make
all sorts of stuff for the gummint during their time inside. Everything
from flak jackets to office furniture. Perhaps we should start doing
the same with ours.

I *think* it's still more expensive than making them outside, though ICBW.

I heard that MFI got a lot of their stuff made in the various pokeys.

The "Land of the Free" has the highest imprisonment rate in the world. The
United States has less than 5% of the world's population but it has over
23% of the world's prison population. The prison population in the US
exceeds the total population of many small countries such as Gambia, Estonia
or Mauritius. The money involved in running prisons in the US exceeds the
entire GDP of many countries. Somehow I don't think importing US ideas on
imprisonment would be a very wise move.

It's downright criminal, the American attitude toward incarceration.
The prison guards' union is one of the most powerful political forces
around.
"3 Strikes" - the law that says after 2 felony convictions, a 3rd
conviction (of any sort) will put you away for life without the
possibility of parole - has created an explosion in the number of
prisoners. California spends ~10% of its budget on prisons, as much as
on higher education. And the crime rate has not decreased much at all.
Recidivism has actually increased. It's insane for the "land of the
free" to incarcerate more and more of its citizens every year, at so
much cost, with so little to show for it. And there's a steady clamor
to get tougher on crime.

FWIW, the traditional trade in prisons is making license plates.
