Humboldt County has some acreage in a warmer region about 30 miles south of Eureka where some of the inmates produce veggies for the jail...

My ‘old’ farm was next to a prison farm. They had a dairy, a pork and beef operation, chickens, grew tons of veggies; were 100% self-supporting as far as food went.

They also raised ringed-neck Pheasants for DNR stock. (Pheasants are not native to WI, but people love to hunt them.)

One of the ‘inmates’ was released and ended up managing a dairy for a local farm and another sold nothing but Green Beans at the big Farmer’s Market - he was a hoot.

Never had a lick of trouble from them, but I was VERY glad when they moved their pig operation downwind from my farm, LOL!
