"The US government’s Federal Prison Industries program, in a brochure advertising inmate-produced dorm furniture, swim trunks and data entry services, tells businesses it represents “homeshoring” and offers a “ ‘Made in the USA’ marketing advantage” and an alternative to “unstable labor.” The brochure notes that it was printed on recycled paper, with ink made of soy and vegetables, at a Virginia prison."

ask Kamala.
is that her bag or something?
Kamala Harris, as California attorney general, led a team that fought to keep more people imprisoned so they could fight wildfires. It began when federal courts ruled that the state's prisons were overcrowded and needed to reduce their population. However, Harris argued against releasing non-violent inmates early because it would harm efforts to fight California wildfires. The lawyers under her oversight also argued against the release of nonviolent criminals because they wanted to keep them for cheap labor (Source: [1], [2]).
