Live-at-Home Plan Behind Texas Prison Farm Output
The Texas Prison system farms about 80,000 acres with 40,408 under crops in 1932. The Live-at-Home Plan, led by manager Lee Simmons and dietician Alma Kellersberger, aims for year round gardens, milk, eggs, meat, and canning to cut grocery costs. Farm managers oversee crops, dairy, and meat to supply inmates and surplus to Walls at Huntsville and the central canning plant.
