Oregon Corrections Enterprises Long Sleeve Hickory Shirt, featured in Made Collection’s “Prison Blues” sale
Oregon Corrections Enterprises began in 1995 after an Oregon constitutional amendment requiring incarcerated inmates to actively engage in full-time work or on-the-job training passed. The hope was to prepare prisoners to become fully-functioning members of society when they were released. Today, there are 1,115 inmates enrolled in OCE, where they make furniture, garments, heavy machinery, and signage. Every inmate who works there must apply for a position on the factory floor, and over 90% of those that do are eventually released back into the world.
