Oregon Corrections Enterprises Work Apron, 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.

Skater Socks Tube Socks, featured in Made Collection’s “Prison Blues” sale

So in 2003, he decided to make his own. Today, Skater Socks is a family-run business out of Rainsville, Alabama, that churns out colorful, stylish, and above all, well-fitted tube socks for everyone that wants to slip a bit of the 70’s over their feet.
