In the old days, they were used in chain gangs...just like Cool Hand Luke.
The state pen, Angola, had one of the best gardens in the state back then....LOL

Angola is still a self sufficient prison. I think it's the only one left in the country. The beef they raise is such a high quality that it is sold on the market and part of the proceeds are used to purchase cheaper meat for the prisoners.
I have seen chain gangs but not around where I live very often.

Yep - many a Rochester, NY street was shoveled off by prisoners back in the Winters of the ‘40s and early ‘50s...
