States have been partnering with private industry to manufacture goods in prison since the PIECP program was created by Congress in 1979. Prisoners in state prisons have packaged products for Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) subcontractors, and helped build a Wisconsin Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) distribution center. The goal is to keep as much of the population as busy as possible; as prison staff like to say, idle inmates are dangerous inmates.
