Contractors said the condensation came from faulty operation and maintenance procedures. The Lillington plant replaced one in Dunn. Prisoners prepare 20,000 pounds of beef, chicken and pork every day at the plant. The meats are served in the state prison system, Parker said, and are delivered to some of the larger county jails. Parker said the site is also a distribution center for other foods used in the prisons.
Inmates provide the labor.
Parker said part of what keeps the plant running smoothly is the willingness of the prisoners to work. They have a trade when they work here.
