The Wisconsin state prison at Waupun reports earnings of about 30 500 per month from knitting contracts, with maintenance costs around 8 530. About 14 inmates work in the knitting rooms, each given daily tasks and bonuses, ensuring most inmates have some money before release. Despite prior concerns, discipline and productivity have improved, and most prisoners contribute to other facilities like farming and kitchen work.
