product of their lobor to the con- tractors for a certain price In either the products of the prison shops go among tbe people und if con- tract labor interferes with free labor so docs the piece price plan Uut the advocates of the piece price plan claim that tho greatest benefits resulting from this system is the con- among the convicts thut ara working for the state and not for contractors
