So.. This news came out yesterday.. 120 jobs out of Clinton and Laurens County.. Which is not a great area for jobs to be leaving.. But this news article posted today which has me concerned.

I support prison industries. I think it is important that skills, work ethic and the like be something that prisoners learn to help them upon release. But closing a plant and shifting work to those prison industries.. Got a problem with that. Prison industries should be jobs that are strictly benefiting the government or similar. I know federal prisons, their industries make furnishings that can only be sold to government entities.. Some of them make military uniforms, I believe.. Things like that. Yes, those jobs do take away slightly from the general workforce, but pretty strictly limited.
