Comments - Nevada Prisoners are Bringing Classic Cars Back to Life

Published: Oct 30, 2011
Description: This past week The Wall Street Journal reported on an innovative operation that is perhaps one of the most creative uses of captive labor in the correctional institution's history. Diversifying f...

haha kinda ironic given life, because they took it (for the some) and now they are bringing life to the old lifeless cars
Andy Rogers Oct 31, 2011
Interesting way to use prisoners and restore cars...
No Pistons Oct 30, 2011
Exactly, parts are cheap along with plenty of substitute parts. It's the labor that is expensice
Jeremy Siebert Oct 30, 2011
Most expensive part of a restore is the labor. Cars could be tax-deductible donations or cheap acquisitions from the side of the road...either way, once fixed will sell in market where restore value includes labor cost
Sterling Thayse Oct 30, 2011
Ya sure but who is paying for the parts for these cars and some of them fairly rare cars? The taxpayers most likely lol
Aaron Porter Oct 30, 2011
Finally make them pay.for themselves to be in there rather than the tax payers
Vince DeMasi Oct 30, 2011
Nice legal idea of slavery
Luke McGuire Oct 30, 2011
What happens wen the cars finished
Raymond Reynoso Oct 30, 2011
We have the time to do it right. Lmao

haha check out the braking system befote putting those car for sale!
Kevin Rehbock Oct 30, 2011
I hope they pick the "non violent" inmates to do this kind of work. I can only imagine a group of prisoners with wrenches and equipment beating the crap out of each other.
Matthew Crighton Oct 30, 2011
Great, now I gotta go kill someone so I can work on one!
Phillip Greene Oct 30, 2011
Yea who pays for materials? Sounds like some douch warden wants to expand his car colection. unless these cars are going up on tje block to pay to for some of the "captive labor" this is a horable idea
Jeremiah Goins Oct 30, 2011
Wow really? I'm sure this will be a great deterrent from crime. If you break the law you could have the option of restoring classic cars while we pay for your living expenses for twelve years. Everyone messes up & I'm all for second chances but dang

Phil Johnson Oct 30, 2011
This almost makes you want to go to prison, haha! Key word- almost.
Jeff Bayura Oct 30, 2011
Now I know I can look forward to something if I ever have to go to jail. Hopefully not lol.
Rueben J Yslas Oct 30, 2011
That's a bad ass camaro
Matthew Crighton Oct 30, 2011
They did a pretty good job. Who gets the car?
Robby Bradford Oct 30, 2011
