Meat Processing - Utah Correctional Industries
Meat Processing started at the prison in 1962 when cows and hogs were raised at the prison farm to supply meat and milk for the prisoners. In the 1980s UCI took over the operation and found it to be more profitable to purchase slaughtered beef and turkey and then butcher and process the meat to suit the prisons' needs. This meat processing is regulated very closely and is inspected on a daily basis by Federal inspectors. ... Currently beef patties, ground meat mixes, breakfast links, sliced salami and beef jerky are produced at UCI. Beef jerky is sold through the prison commissary to the inmates. Outside of the prison there is a small percent of the production that is sold to other State agencies. ... [Read More]

State Energy Program: Utah Taps Geothermal Reservoir under Prison
Utah discovered an unexpected underground bonanza last year. It's a geothermal reservoir—an aquifer of hot water at about 185°F—about 1,000 feet below the Wasatch Unit of the Utah State Prison in Draper. Working with the Utah Energy Office, the Department of Corrections entered into an energy services contract with Johnson Controls, Inc., in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to provide heat and hot water to the facility. ... The project is being constructed in two phases; the first phase was completed in July. This phase involves pumping water from the geothermal reservoir to the surface where heat is extracted in a heat exchanger to heat several buildings. Under the terms of the contract, Johnson Controls guarantees the state will save $190,000 per year. This way, the project will pay for itself in 16 years.
