Prison Blues started with two ingredients:  First is a federal government grant funded by drug money seizures. Second is a plan to defray incarceration costs.  The state of Oregon conducted a study to establish a viable product for production.  The conclusion that Oregon's manufacturers would not suffer from a prison garment industry laid the groundwork for our garment factory in 1989 to manufacture jeans, yard coats, work shirts, and T-shirts for inmates.  Never forgetting our roots, we continue to manufacture garments worn by inmates throughout Oregon.  Our commercial product line includes american apparel with logo designs, blue jeans, jackets, work shirts, sweatshirts, T-shirts, work aprons, hats and more made with pride!
