The federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 36% of home appliances and much more!\r\nPlus points: 1 Courts can give out sentences for offences the public wants! 2 Economy boost to UK manufacturing industry! 3 Skills, education and reform for prisoners to reduce reoffending.
