00:00:01>> SUPPORT FOR THE STATEWIDE
BROADCAST OF "THE STATE OF OHIO"
00:00:06COMES FROM THE LAW OFFICES OF --
HELPING BUSINESSES AND
00:00:11INDIVIDUAL'S SOLVE COMPEX LEGAL
PROBLEMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
00:00:15AROUND THE WORLD.
AND FROM THE OHIO EDUCATION
00:00:21ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING 121,000
TEACHERS.
00:00:22>> RUBBLE FOR THE NEWEST MEMBERS
OF NEXT YEAR'S DEMOCRATIC
00:00:35TICKET.
NEW CHANGES MIGHT BE COMING IN
00:00:37AN ELECTION LAW.
INMATES ARE MAKING MORE THAN
00:00:41LICENSE PLATES IN OHIO PRISONS.
THIS WEEKEND, THE STATE OF OHIO.
00:00:46JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THE
SELECTION OF SENATE MINORITY
00:00:57LEADER AS THE RUNNING MATE,
THERE IS CONTROVERSY OVER UNPAID
00:01:06TAXES.
KEARNEY APPARENTLY OWES $84,000
00:01:11TO THE IRS.
THERE MAY BE ANOTHER $85,000 IN
00:01:16BACK STATE TAXES.
KEARNEY SAYS HE DISCLOSED HIS
00:01:19TAX ISSUES TO THE FITZGERALD
CAMPAIGN.
00:01:23HE AND HIS WIFE ARE ON A PAYMENT
PLAN.
00:01:24THE ISSUE HAS ALREADY BEEN
RAISED IN THE LEAD UP TO THE
00:01:292014 ELECTION.
IT WAS DISCUSSED ON THIS SHOW IN
00:01:31OCTOBER.
THE OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBER
00:01:38MET FOR AN ANIMATED DISCUSSION.
>> THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE
00:01:43ENDORSED THIS GOVERNOR'S TAX
CUTS ARE NOT ORGANIZATIONS --
00:01:49THE OHIO ASSOCIATION OF FOOD
BANKS.
00:01:50THEY HELP ALL OHIOANS AND GET
BACK TO WORK.
00:01:57>> YOU HAVE NO CREDIBILITY TO
DISCUSS TAXES BOTH PERSONALLY
00:02:04AND PROFESSIONALLY.
SECONDLY, I WOULD PUT MY RECORD
00:02:10AND GOVERNOR TED STRICKLAND'S
RECORD UP AGAINST YEARS AND JOHN
00:02:13KASICH ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
>> LASTING EACH OTHER ON PRESS
00:02:19CONFERENCES AND SOCIAL MEDIA,
THE DEMOCRATIC SPOKESMAN TWEETED
00:02:23OUT THIS PICTURE DURING THE
SHOOTING OF THAT SHOW IN EARLY
00:02:26OCTOBER.
HE OWES MORE THAN $80,000 TO THE
00:02:29IRS AND SAYS HE IS REPAYING.
GOVERNOR JOHN K-6 TO HOLDS THE
00:02:37LEAD OVER FITZGERALD.
IT APPEARS TO BE SHRINKING.
00:02:39THE LATEST ASK A SICK AT 44%,
FITZGERALD 37%.
00:02:45A STUDY 15% OF THOSE RESPONDING
SAY THEY ARE NOT SURE WHO THEY
00:02:57WILL GO FOR.
>> HE ENTERS THE REELECTION YEAR
00:03:03WITH A SEVEN-POINT LEAD.
IT IS DOWN FROM THE DOUBLE-DIGIT
00:03:07LEAD BACK IN JUNE.
SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN MIGHT
00:03:12HAVE BEEN EXPECTED.
VOTERS NOW APPROVE STRONGLY --
00:03:28THEY SAY THEY ARE WILLING TO
LOOK FOR A NEW TERM.
00:03:31IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE AHEAD
THAN BEHIND.
00:03:35>> FITZGERALD HAS A LOT TO DO IN
NAME RECOGNITION.
00:03:4872% SAY THEY DON'T KNOW ENOUGH
ABOUT FITZGERALD TO FORM AN
00:03:51OPINION OF HIM.
>> HE IS NOT VERY WELL-KNOWN.
00:03:55ALMOST THREE IN FOUR VOTERS
DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT HIM TO
00:04:01HAVE AN OPINION.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WILL BE,
00:04:11BECAUSE HIS NAME RECOGNITION IS
SO LOW, THEY WILL HAVE TO SPEND
00:04:16AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME
WITH VOTERS BEFORE HE CAN TELL
00:04:21THEM WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.
THAT CONVERSATION WILL BE AN
00:04:27EXTENSIVE ONE.
MR. KASICH IS KNOWN TO OHIO
00:04:40VOTERS.
SOME POSITIVE, SOME
00:04:46NEGATIVE.
BUT HE CAN SPEND MONEY ON OTHER
00:04:51THINGS.
TALKING ABOUT HIS RECORD OVER
00:05:01THE LAST THREE YEARS.
>> THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS,
00:05:08HE SAYS IT IS A POSITIVE SIGN.
>> BROKE EVEN AMONG MEN AND BIG
00:05:16WITH WOMEN.
SOME PLACE, THE GENDER GAP IS
00:05:31BIGGER THAN OTHERS BUT IT IS
PART OF THE SYSTEM.
00:05:32A REPUBLICAN WHO CAN BREAK EVEN
AMONG WOMEN IS ALMOST ALWAYS
00:05:38GOING TO WIN.
>> YOU DON'T SEE AN IMPACT IN
00:05:42THE WOMEN'S POLE HERE IN REGARD
TO OTHER THINGS IN THE BUDGET?
00:05:45>> HARD TO KNOW, BUT THE FACT
THAT CASE IT -- KASICH IS EVEN
00:05:55AMONG WOMEN IS A GOOD THING.
IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE A SCENARIO
00:06:00WHERE HE LOSES THE ELECTION.
THE OBAMA STRATEGY IS BREAKEVEN
00:06:08AMONG MEN AND WIN AMONG WOMEN.
THAT IS WHAT HE DID AND THAT IS
00:06:12WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN A LOT OF
STATES IN 2012.
00:06:15A VITAL PART OF THE DEMOCRATIC
COALITION.
00:06:27OBAMA CARRIED SINGLE WOMEN
ALMOST TWO TO ONE.
00:06:35IF KASICH IS EVEN AMONG WOMEN
OVERALL, I AM SURE HE WOULD BE
00:06:46HAPPY TO TAKE THAT ON ELECTION
DAY.
00:06:47>> FITZGERALD HAS 68% OF THE
BLACK VOTE, BUT HE SAYS IT IS
00:06:53LIKELY NOT ENOUGH FOR A
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE TO WIN THE
00:06:58STATE.
LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE CHARLIE
00:07:03EARL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS
POLL.
00:07:05THIS WAS DIRECTED AT THEIR
COLLEAGUES IN WASHINGTON.
00:07:17THE BUDGET AMENDMENT RESOLUTION
DEMANDS CONGRESS PASSED SUCH
00:07:22REQUIREMENTS OR ALLOW THE STATES
TO CALL CONSTITUTIONAL
00:07:24CONVENTIONS.
MOST OF THE REPUBLICAN
00:07:29LEADERSHIP WAS FEATURED AT THE
STATEHOUSE ALONG WITH FORMER
00:07:32STATE SENATOR AND NOW REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN.
00:07:33IT WAS NOT TOTALLY AMONG PARTY
LINES.
00:07:36THE COSPONSORS ARE REPUBLICANS,
IT PASSED 63 TO 29 IN THE HOUSE.
00:07:43EIGHT HOUSE DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR
IT AND THREE REPUBLICANS VOTED
00:07:48AGAINST IT.
VOTING TO AGREE WITH THE HOUSE
00:07:52CHANGES, THOSE VOTES ALL CAME
FROM DEMOCRATS.
00:07:56OHIO IS THE 20TH STATE TO PASS
THE BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT
00:08:04RESOLUTION.
34 STATES ARE NEEDED.
00:08:05IN A STATEMENT THAT COULD
FURTHER FUEL SPECULATION THAT HE
00:08:11COULD SEEK HIGHER OFFICE IF
REELECTED, PASS A SIMILAR
00:08:18RESOLUTION TO ARGUE FOR IT.
>> THAT IS SUCH A BIG DEAL.
00:08:29AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT IN THE
PROCESS OF ARGUING EXACTLY HOW
00:08:32WE ARE GOING TO GET IT DONE, I
THINK WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD SHOT
00:08:35AT IT.
WE WILL GET SOME.
00:08:38>> THERE ARE SEVERAL PROPOSALS
MOVING TO THE LEGISLATURE THAT
00:08:48WOULD CHANGE THE LAWS IN EFFECT
FOR NEXT YEAR'S VOTERS.
00:08:50ABSENTEE VOTING MIGHT SOON BE
SHORTER.
00:08:55IT WOULD ELIMINATE THE GOLDEN
WEEK, THE TIME WHICH OHIOANS CAN
00:09:03REGISTER AND CAST BALLOTS ON THE
SAME DAY.
00:09:06THE DAY AFTER THE VOTER
REGISTRATION DEADLINE.
00:09:11ANOTHER BILL APPROVED IN THE
HOUSE WOULD MAKE SMALL CHANGES
00:09:23TO ELECTION LAWS ALLOWING USE OF
ELECTRONIC POLL BOOKS.
00:09:27WORKERS AT POLLING PLACES COULD
DETERMINE WHICH PRECINCT A VOTER
00:09:38SHOULD GO TO WHICH DEVELOPS WHAT
WILL CUT DOWN ON THE CONFUSION
00:09:43THAT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE
RIGHT CHURCH, WRONG PEW.
00:09:46>> WE HAVE VERY GOOD BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT.
00:09:50OPPONENTS INCLUDE THE
ASSOCIATION OF ELECTION
00:09:54OFFICIALS, AND THE OFFICE OF THE
SECRETARY OF STATE.
00:09:57SOME TIME AGO, IT CAME OUT OF
THE COMMITTEE BY A VOTE OF NINE
00:10:02TO ZERO.
>> 28 DEMOCRATS VOTED AGAINST
00:10:06IT.
SEVERAL COUNTIES ARE ALREADY
00:10:10USING ELECTRONIC BOOKS.
THE BILL DOESN'T SOLVE ANY
00:10:16PROBLEMS AND COULD CREATE SOME.
>> THIS COMES FROM THE OTHER
00:10:22SIDE OF THE AISLE.
WE HEAR ABOUT REASONS WHY WE
00:10:27NEED A NEW ELECTIONS BILL.
MY SIDE OF THE AISLE AND GROUPS
00:10:29THAT ADVOCATE, THE RATIONALE IS
ALMOST ALWAYS UNTRUE.
00:10:38>> WE STARTED THE CONVERSATION
ON SEVERAL CHANGES IN ELECTION
00:10:50LAW, WORKING THEIR WAY TO THE
LEGISLATURE.
00:10:51A REPUBLICAN FROM CINCINNATI AND
THE SPONSOR OR COSPONSOR OF
00:10:56SEVERAL OF THOSE BILLS.
A CANDIDATE FOR SECRETARY OF
00:11:02STATE ON NEXT YEAR'S BALLOT,
SENATOR TURNER TOOK ISSUE WITH
00:11:09THE STATEMENT THAT A LOT OF THE
BILLS HAD COME FROM IDEAS
00:11:12PROPOSED BY DEMOCRATS AS WELL AS
THOSE FOR REPUBLICANS.
00:11:16>> IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.
THE GREAT THING ABOUT OHIO BEING
00:11:28A PURPLE STATE IS I HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE OF SERVING IN THE
00:11:30MAJORITY AND THE MINORITY. THE
GREAT THING THAT HAPPENED IS
00:11:38THAT THE MINORITY PARTY OFFERS A
BILL AND OFTENTIMES IT DOES NOT
00:11:41GET PAST AND IT GETS
INCORPORATED INTO A MAJORITY
00:11:45BILL THROUGH AMENDMENTS OR OTHER
MEANS.
00:11:46A LOT OF THESE BILLS WERE PART
OF DEMOCRAT BILLS.
00:11:54OR OTHER PROVISIONS THAT WERE
SUPPORTED BY DEMOCRATS.
00:11:58ARE THEY BIPARTISAN?
DO WE GET DEMOCRAT VOTES ON
00:12:04THAT?
CAN WE POINT TO OTHER AREAS
00:12:08WHERE DEMOCRATS SUPPORTED THOSE
BILLS?
00:12:09ABSOLUTELY.
>> I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE
00:12:15BILLS BEING INTRODUCED AND
PASSED RIGHT NOW, THE RANKING
00:12:19MEMBER ON THAT COMMITTEE THAT
LOOKED AT THESE BILLS, THESE ARE
00:12:24NOT BIPARTISAN.
IT IS NOT BIPARTISAN TO THROW
00:12:30AWAY PEOPLE'S ABSENTEE BALLOT
APPLICATIONS.
00:12:31NONE OF THAT IS BIPARTISAN.
CERTAINLY IN THE 130 SENATOR, I
00:12:42DO NOT SEE THAT KIND OF
PARTISANSHIP.
00:12:43WE SHOULD COME TOGETHER BECAUSE
IT IS IMPORTANT.
00:12:47>> VOTER REGISTRATION FOR THE
NEXT ELECTION, MAKING IT EASIER
00:13:01IN THE FUTURE.
THOSE KIND OF THINGS IN THESE
00:13:06BILLS, I KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF
HEARTS YOU SUPPORT THOSE KIND OF
00:13:09PROVISIONS.
YOU MAY NOT SUPPORT THE WHOLE
00:13:12BILL BUT WE ARE DOING A LOT OF
GOOD THINGS IN THERE.
00:13:14THIS PROCESS, I THINK YOU'RE
DEMEANING THE FACT THAT WE ARE
00:13:21LISTENING TO PEOPLE.
A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS FROM BOTH
00:13:28SIDES OF THE AISLE.
>> TRUE BIPARTISANSHIP MEANS
00:13:34THAT YOU AND I ARE AT THE TABLE
TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME AND WE
00:13:37ARE LOOKING AT THESE ISSUES.
IF YOU REMEMBER, THERE WERE FOUR
00:13:44OF US.
HE WAS NOT PRESIDENT AT THE
00:13:48TIME.
WE TALKED ABOUT REDISTRICTING.
00:13:52WE CAME TO THE TABLE IN THE
SPIRIT OF LET'S PUT ON THE TABLE
00:13:57WHAT WE LEAD WITH.
YOU MAY RECALL IT WAS A VOTE OF
00:14:0132 TO ONE FOR OUR REDISTRICTING
PLAN.
00:14:04YOU KNOW WHAT WAS DIFFERENT
ABOUT THAT PROCESS?
00:14:09IT WAS NOT ONE THAT WAS LAID OUT
.
00:14:16IT WAS LESS COME TO THE TABLE TO
SEE WHAT WE CAN AGREE ON AND
00:14:25WHAT WE CAN GET PAST.
>> IS WHAT IS HAPPENING THAT
00:14:32REPUBLICANS ARE DICTATING WHAT
IS GOING ON AND DEMOCRATS ARE
00:14:36BEING ASKED TO RESPOND?
>> OUR COLLEAGUES, BOTH BEFORE
00:14:46THEY ARE -- WE ARE AMENDING
THOSE.
00:14:51HOW THE COLLEAGUES CHOOSE TO
OFFER AMENDMENTS, WHETHER OR NOT
00:15:01THEY CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE CONVERSATION IS THEIR
00:15:04DECISION.
BUT WE HAVE AN OPEN DOOR POLICY.
00:15:09WE WANT TO WORK TOGETHER.
>> A BILL WOULD ALLOW THE
00:15:17SECRETARY OF STATE TO SEND OUT
UNSOLICITED APPLICATIONS TO
00:15:24VOTERS FOR PRESIDENTIAL AND
GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS BUT ONLY
00:15:27IF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
APPROPRIATES THE FUNDING FOR IT.
00:15:29IT HAS PASSED THE SENATE AND IS
NOW IN A HOUSE COMMITTEE.
00:15:33THE BILL TO REQUIRE PHOTOS, JOHN
HOUSTON HAS OPPOSED IT AND IT
00:15:42HAS BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE
HOUSE.
00:15:43PEOPLE ASSUME THAT INMATES KEPT
BUSY ON MAKING LICENSE PLATES.
00:15:50THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
SOME ARE MAKING LICENSE PLATES,
00:15:56BUT THEY ARE ALSO MAKING
CLOTHING.
00:15:57CHAIRS, BEDS, OUTDOOR FURNITURE,
DENTURES, EYEGLASSES.
00:16:06SERVICES SUCH AS PRINTING,
VEHICLE MODIFICATION,
00:16:11MAINTENANCE, REPAIR,
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.
00:16:13SOMETIMES, THEY ARE DOING IT TO
MAKE MONEY.
00:16:16SOMETIMES IT IS JUST TO GET
BACK.
00:16:19NO COST TO FAMILIES REBUILDING
THEIR LIVES AFTER SURVIVING
00:16:29FIRES OR OTHER CATASTROPHES.
THOUSANDS OF PIECES OF FURNITURE
00:16:34ARE DONATED EACH YEAR.
2000 WERE ASSEMBLED IN THE SHOP
00:16:38ON THE WEST SIDE OF COLUMBUS.
VOLUNTEERS USING ALMOST ALL
00:16:42DONATED MATERIALS INCLUDING
MATERIALS FROM HOTELS.
00:16:45THERE WAS A SIMILAR BUT SMALLER
SHOP.
00:16:49THEY ARE LINED UP AS THEY ARE
COMPLETED.
00:16:54THE 40 MEMBER INMATE CREW FILLS
24 TO 36 DRESSES EACH WEEK. AND
00:17:0318 TO 36 BEDS A WEEK WITH THE
SAME PLAN THAT THE VOLUNTEERS IN
00:17:06COLUMBUS USE.
>> OF ALL THE INMATES I HAVE
00:17:15DONE HERE, THAT IS THEIR GOAL.
THEY WANT TO WORK HERE.
00:17:20WE GET BACK ON THE STREET AND
THAT IS WHAT THEY CAN WORK WITH
00:17:29ON THE STREET.
I KNOW THAT IS -- THEY'RE GLAD
00:17:41TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.
HE HAD TWO OTHER MEN ROBBED AND
00:17:54FATALLY STABBED BUSINESSMAN
WILLIAM SIMCOX.
00:17:57>> I HAVE BEEN LOCKED UP 23
YEARS.
00:18:00THIS IS AN ACTUAL CHANCE FOR US
AS INMATES TO GET BACK TO THE
00:18:05COMMUNITY.
IT HELPS US FEEL GOOD IN THE
00:18:11PROCESS.
>> DO YOU LIKE THE IDEA THAT IT
00:18:16GOES TO HELP SOMEBODY ELSE?
>> IT IS AN AWESOME FEELING TO
00:18:23KNOW THAT PEOPLE THAT WERE DOWN-
AND-OUT WERE GIVEN THE
00:18:25OPPORTUNITY.
IT MAKES AN IMPACT IN OUR LIVES.
00:18:28>> DURING HIS TIME, HE DETAILED
SMALLER DECORATIVE GAZEBOS AND
00:18:39OTHER PROJECTS.
THEY WILL SOON START MAKING
00:18:44KITCHEN CHAIRS.
MAKING THEM STURDIER AND EASIER
00:18:53TO USE.
THERE ARE SEVERAL BEHIND BARS
00:18:56PROGRAMS.
FOR INSTANCE, THEY ARE CARING
00:19:01FOR BIRDS.
INMATES ARE ALSO RAISING RAINBOW
00:19:07TROUT AT THE SOUTHEASTERN
CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTE.
00:19:13AND SEVERAL TRAIN DOGS FOR
SERVICE BEFORE ADOPTION DESIGNED
00:19:22TO HELP INMATES DEVELOP SKILLS
AND USE THEIR TIME EFFECTIVELY.
00:19:25SOME OF THESE ROGUE RAM'S WILL
HELP THE STATE MAKE MONEY.
00:19:29WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FREE
NATION AND CORRECTION, THESE
00:19:38OPERATE UNDER THE OHIO PENAL
INDUSTRY STANDARDS.
00:19:39>> JUST A VARIETY OF INDUSTRIES
FOR INMATES AND ALSO PRODUCTS
00:19:48FOR STATE AGENCIES THROUGHOUT
THE SYSTEM.
00:19:51WHETHER IT IS TOILET PAPER,
FOOD, CAR PARTS, PUBLIC-PRIVATE
00:20:00PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS
THAT WE DO CERTAIN THINGS FOR.
00:20:01YOU NAME IT.
WE BASICALLY DO IT.
00:20:05PUTTING TOGETHER A WORKFORCE
THAT IS MEANINGFUL WORK.
00:20:12IT IS WORK INDIVIDUALS CAN DO
THAT WILL BRING MEANINGFUL
00:20:16ACTIVITIES OUT TO ENHANCE THEIR
SKILLS.
00:20:20THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY THAT
THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD IN THEIR
00:20:27LIFE. >> MADE BY INMATES, FLAGS.
>> IT IS BASICALLY AT THE MEAT
00:20:40PROCESSING PLANT, ONE OF THE
FACILITIES.
00:20:44WE RAISE OUR BEEF ON OUR FARMS
THROUGHOUT OHIO AND WE BRING
00:20:51THEM AWAY TO PROCESS PACKAGING
AND WE DISTRIBUTE THE MEAT
00:20:56THROUGH ALL OF THE PRISONS.
IT HAS GROWN ON FARMS AND SERVED
00:21:01IN INSTITUTIONS.
MILK IS THE OTHER PIECE OF THAT.
00:21:04WE MILK EVERY MORNING JUST LIKE
FARMERS DO.
00:21:10AND WE BRING IT BACK TO TAKE
AWAY WHERE WE USE HOMOGENIZED
00:21:16AND TEXTURIZED MILK PACKETS TO
SEND OUT FOR CONSUMPTION.
00:21:21>> HOW ARE THEY SELECTED FOR
THIS?
00:21:24THIS IS A CHOSEN POSITION SO TO
SPEAK?
00:21:27>> IN THE FREE WORLD, THEY HAVE
TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AND
00:21:34MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA.
THEY ARE INTERVIEWED LIKE THEY
00:21:38WOULD AT A NORMAL POSITION AND
MOST OF THEM HAVE TIME CLOCKS.
00:21:44THEY HAVE SO MUCH TIME ON THE
BOOKS.
00:21:48THEY HAVE JOB EVALUATIONS AND
THE PERFORMANCE IS JUDGED.
00:21:54THEY ARE MOVED OUT OF THE
PROGRAM AND THEY RECEIVE CERTAIN
00:22:00INCENTIVES WHETHER IT IS
LONGEVITY PAY.
00:22:07THE LONGER THEY ARE WITH US, THE
MORE MONEY THEY CAN EARN.
00:22:12IT IS AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM.
IT ALSO PROVIDES SOME SKILLS.
00:22:22IF WE WERE TO REPLACE
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES -- IF
00:22:29WE TAKE THE INDUSTRY OUT OF
THESE INSTITUTIONS AND REPLACE
00:22:32THEM WITH INSTITUTIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES, IT WILL COST $8.5
00:22:36MILLION TO DO THAT.
IT IS TRULY A SAVINGS TO PROVIDE
00:22:40REAL WORLD SKILLS.
IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF NEED ON
00:22:48EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT
00:22:53THE MONEY.
DOES OPI MAKE MONEY BY SELLING
00:22:57THESE PRODUCTS?
A BUSINESS CAN PURCHASE
00:23:03JANITORIAL SUPPLIES.
>> ALL OF THE MONEY IS
00:23:08REINVESTED INTO THE PROGRAM.
WE MAY HAVE TO RELY ON OTHER
00:23:26SHOPS FOR A WHILE.
AS A SYSTEM AS A WHOLE, IT IS
00:23:33SELF-SUPPORTING AND PAYS FOR THE
INMATES AND THE RAW MATERIALS.
00:23:35ALL THAT DELIVERY IS INTERNAL.
NONE OF THAT MONEY IS
00:23:43TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE.
IT IS KEPT OUT OF THE
00:23:46INDUSTRIES.
>> IS THE STATE REQUIRED TO BUY
00:23:52CERTAIN THINGS FROM OPI?
>> YES.
00:23:55OHIO REVISED CODE THAT
AGENCIES BYPRODUCTS THAT ARE
00:24:03AVAILABLE INCLUDING TOILET
PAPER, WE HAVE OUR OWN PRINT
00:24:12SHOP, FLAGS FLYING OVER STATE
BUILDINGS AROUND OHIO.
00:24:19>> THEY CAN BE TRACED BACK TO
THE MID-1800S WHEN THE GOAL WAS
00:24:24TO MAKE PRISONS SELF-SUFFICIENT.
INMATES WERE MAKING PRODUCTS AND
00:24:31ALSO FOR BUSINESSES THAT HIRED
THEM.
00:24:32THEY ARE NOW COMPENSATED FOR
THEIR WORK AND ANY BUSINESS CAN
00:24:38SHOP FOR PRODUCTS AT THE
WEBSITE.
00:24:40FOR MY COLLEAGUES AT OHIO PUBLIC
RADIO, THANKS FOR WATCHING.
