Someone told me that prison inmates make license plates. I can't believe that! I think that's very odd, but is it true?

License plates in 39 of the 50 states in the USA are made by prison inmates. Nine states employ private companies (primarily Waldale Manufacturing in Nova Scotia and Irwin-Hodson in Portland, Oregon). In Kansas and Wyoming, mentally and physically disabled residents of those states make the plates.

Yes. They not only make license plates, in some states if you call their state tourism number, you just might be speaking to a convicted murderer.
