Since 1968, Ohio Penal Industries (OPI) and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) have partnered to produce snow plows, and 175 prisoners have carried the load and done the work. It's not like I'm going to give the credit to the prisons or state. They happen to have a lot of innocent people incarcerated too, lets remember.

Inside the Chillicothe Correctional Institution, 175 men are part of the program that builds every ODOT plow and salt truck seen on the roads.

“The trucks come in as nothing but a cab and a rolling chassis,” Foster said. “Everything that goes on – we assemble, 100% of it.”

According to OPI, about 12-14 trucks are assembled and shipped out each month from Chillicothe. Each vehicle is customized to the needs of the area where it will hit the road.

“Our families, our friends, everyone we know, is driving behind these trucks on the street,” Foster said.
