| Lee Blackman started as a correctional officer at Triangle and has been with Prison Industries for six years. He is in charge of shipping signs all over the state. | When machines break down, Clarence Finch is there to fix them. He has done this kind of work all his life, six for Enterprises. | Sign edges are rounded off under the careful supervision of Bill Shorts who has worked 20 years for DOC, 10 at the sign plant. | Joel Leggett swears he just makes the signs, he's not Betty Beam. Legget works in several sections-fabrication, poack-outs and the shearing department. he is filling in at the Gravopoly section (what nameplates are made of). Manager Danny Stanley said he is never without a smile. |
