The incarcerated workers typically make 65 cents an hour.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Monday that the state had found a way to counteract price gouging on hand sanitizer amid the COVID-19 outbreak: by deploying cheap prison labor. Incarcerated people will be producing 100,000 gallons of the disinfectant, branded as “NYS Clean hand sanitizer,” to be distributed to government agencies, prisons, public transportation systems, and schools for free. “This is a superior product to products now on the market,”

The prisoners will get mellow and you get some yellow stuff.
Taxpayers get the shaft.
“This is a superior product to products now on the market,”
HaHaHahaHaHaHaHaHa......
Not the Onion? This sounds so...sci-fi.
NY state-run slave labor.
HaHaHahaHaHaHaHaHa......
Prisoner number 24601, Will be checking with a hydrometer to ensure quality.
The rest of the workforce will be busy with other quality control checks.
Well, let's stop emptying the prisons and move more manufacturing there. Food, clothes, appliances, phones...the mind boggles thinking how many superior product opportunities exist with such a highly motivated work force.
China’s President Xi approves your slave labor tactics!
By April we all will be talking about something else and wondering what to do with all of this hand sanitizer
The Cornyvirus would be a giant flop
This is amazing. I can’t believe that Fredo One is bragging about it.
Prisoners can be melted into Manolin.

I’m not panicked by all this, but what with the declining work ethic out there, I barely trust regular people to do a good job. So now I’m going to trust convicts?

NY prisons have been making things for ages. It’s called Corecraft. That make furniture, clothing, eyeglasses, liquid and bar soap, cleaning supplies, aluminum forgings, lockers, printing, paint brushes, all kinds of things. All for sale to government agencies. all made using prison labor (they are paid, but 50 cents is a high wage) Using Corecraft to make hand sanitizer is a natural. They already have the capability. If you have ever gone to school or been in a government office of any kind in NY state, you have used, sat on, written on or looked at a Corecraft product.

Are you sure?
Cuomo is paying WAY above the normal Chinese manufacturing scale.
In China, if you fail to produce you will not wake up in the morning.

They will move on to attacking the Trump children, to cover Biden’s kid.
They were already saying they are going to do that
It is expected.
