Canaries for Convicts in Michigan Prison Across Years
Convicts in Michigan's state prison keep and raise canaries, with about 600 birds cared for by inmates. Birds are kept in cells and shops, hung outside by day and brought in at night, said to humanize prisoners and improve morale. Convicts earn money from bird sales, credited to prison accounts upon discharge.
