I spent some time in prison last month.
Admittedly it was of my own free will and not because of any errant criminal behavior. My three hours spent touring the agricultural and manufacturing facilities at the Colorado State Correctional Facility were eye-opening to say the least.
I first became curious about the facility after learning that some local food producers and distributors were buying products from the prison and was hoping to get a first-hand look in order to share the story with Colorado Central readers.
