Two other U.S. companies relying upon prison labor for products sold in their stores are K-Mart and J.C. Penny. Both sell Jeans made by inmates in Tennessee prisons. The same prison in Tennessee provides labor for Eddie Bauer’s wooden rocking horses. There are other products we would not associate with prison made products: dentures, partials, eye glasses, processed foods such as beef, chicken and pork patties sold to and served in our schools, grocery stores and hospitals.

History Spotlight

2017 April 12, 1847 - "First Asians Arrive in the United States" - A group of three Chinese students arrived in New York City and became the first Asians to officially enter the United States. However, Chinese records show that Chinese Buddhist priests traveled along the West Coast and present-day British Columbia down to Baja California in 450 A.D. Also, Spanish records show the existence of Chinese shipbuilders in present-day Southern California between 1541 and 1746 and Chinese shopkeepers were already in present-day Los Angeles when the first Anglo Americans arrived. Though conventionally thought to have played a pivotal role in American history only from the 19th century forward, Asians have been in what's now considered the U.S. longer than Europeans."
