Plant at Kansas penitentiary could save farmers cost
The bill to establish a binding twine plant at the Kansas penitentiary faced possible defeat though it could prove transformative. A $75,000 to $100,000 plant would repay Kansas farmers within two years via lower twine prices. Coal from the pen would fuel production, avoiding market competition with other Kansas mines, and the project would not injure any citizen’s business. Minnesota and Washington already run similar facilities at Stillwater and Walla Walla prisons with satisfactory results.
