I just heard a report about this on Fox News and think it's FANTASTIC!
It was a mini-report by Orlando Salinas. He told and showed how the inmates in Marion County, FL are self-sufficient in every way except for guarding themselves!
They grow their own food; raise their own cattle, pigs and chickens; make their own uniforms; and even sew the sheriff's uniforms! I think all prisons should operate like this.
I actually think they're eating better than a lot of us are. They get all those nice fresh veggies, fish and meat; and they know what's in them and where they came from! I bet they don't have all the pesticides and growth hormones and crap in their cattle that are basically forced upon us as we buy from the grocery stores!
Orlando reported that this saves the taxpayers tons of money, which I am really grateful for, being a Marion County property owner. And, Lord knows my property taxes are sky high as it is! Thank goodness for small favors though.
Kudos to Marion County for making their inmates self-sufficient!
Found this one link about it, but it only mentions the Tillapia they are raising for food - it will cost them abougt 39 cents a pound! Nice!
