I came across this by way of James Taranto's Best of the Web Today:

Inmates at the Pickaway Correctional Institution in Orient [OH] will help slaughter cows and pigs to provide more than three million pounds of beef and pork for 44,000 prisoners statewide.

About 120 minimum- and medium-security inmates will be trained in meat-cutting under strict supervision and constant video surveillance.

State prisons director Reginald Wilkinson says meat-cutting is a trade inmates can use when they get out of prison.

ahahahahhaha. sick.
