I was an officer at Auburn State Prison (Auburn, NY), when I first started the job in 1980. Until then, I never knew that Auburn is where they made all the license plates for the State. They also build office furniture that is sold through Corcraft Industries. Don't know if they still do it, but when I was there, they were making road signs via a contract they had with another State.
Do they still have the old electric chair at Auburn?
