Oregon’s prison commissaries offer Amazon-like array of goods, rack up $17 million in sales

“In Salem, the commissary warehouse is staffed by state employees and inmates from Oregon’s women’s prison, Coffee Creek Correctional Institution in Wilsonville. It’s a coveted assignment that goes to women who have clear disciplinary records for six months. They can’t have any major misconduct within the past year. The state requires that commissary workers have a high school diploma or general education diploma. “
