Anagram manufactures metallic balloons and other products made of synthetic materials. Balloons assembled at the Faribault facility are sold worldwide. In addition, work programs make the state corrections department more self-sufficient by offsetting operational costs. Also, inmates are productively occupied, thus making the prison more secure for public safety and the safety of staff, she said.
Inmates work eight hours a day on the assembly line putting together balloon parts.
Anagram International employees provide production supervision while security is the responsibility of corrections officers.
