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, in some prisons they certainly do. My son spent some time in a prison in Minnesota and his job was putting them into the boxes for shipping. I used to tease him all the time about making license plates in prison, although for some reason he didn't find it one bit funny.

In Nevada, they used to.
They just took that away from them because some union complained that it was "taking jobs away" from blue collar workers.
They outsource it now to some company.
Crazy.
