Prison farming
With six dairy and crop farms totaling 1,930 acres, the New Jersey Department of Corrections is one of the largest farmers in the state, according to the Department of Agriculture. Dairy farms run by the DOC's self-sufficient AgriIndustries program maintain some 700 animals statewide and run almost exclusively on prison labor. Prisoners either live on the farm or are bussed in as day laborers. And though its tough work, rolling hills beat a prison cell any day, say these minimum security inmates.
