Illinois prison inmates now earn up to 200 dollars a month producing diverse goods such as cigarettes soap clothing and furniture through the Illinois Correctional Industries program. About 800 prisoners and 120 civilians work in ICI led by Director Edmund H Muth and profits come from product sales rather than taxpayer subsidies.

Prison industry profits drive state programs in Illinois
A report details Illinois prison work programs at Menard, Stateville, Joliet and other centers. Inmates produce cigarettes, garments, brooms, furniture, and farm goods sold to state agencies, with profits reinvested. The program aims to provide training and reduce idleness, despite near bankruptcy in the mid-1970s.
