They produced enough produce, milk products, eggs, and meat to not only feed the inmates of Harris County, but for most of the STATE!!! There were other operations throughout the State that were similar and the Penal system was somewhat self supporting UNTIL THE ACLU got involved and this activity was deemed CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!!!
Mind you that the inmates enjoyed the "limited freedom" granted to them to work in the fields etc. but the greater LIBERAL contingent thought that we should just pay for their incarcerations and not "enslave them to support themselves"!!!
This whole thing just really pisses me off!!!

God forbid IF, you'd have too work for food...I guess most of us not incarcerated get food for free...
"Pissed off about illegals working the fields...use inmates!"
Stay safe.
