Through these accomplishments, MSI remains economically sound and will make a continuous, positive contribution to the State of Michigan. A State statute stipulates that MSI may only sell its products and services to government entities and nonprofit organizations.

Prison industry programs attempt to address the problem of crime and the tension and idleness in prison resulting from overcrowding through providing these excellent work opportunities.
