This used to be the case in North Dakota, the Prison was called the State Farm.

They raised all the meat, milk, eggs, produce etc that the prisoners ate. It worked pretty well. They also had a line of products. The clothing they wore came from inside. It was a self sustaining system.. THEN.. corporation prisons got involved.

Should Prisons Be Labor Camps?

Prison isn’t cheap, so maybe the people who are supposed to benefit most should help foot the bill.
