WY Brand Industries is a division of the Wyoming Department of Corrections, creating opportunities for offenders to develop job skills and good work habits. It is through this Correctional Industries program that government agencies and businesses can take advantage of one-of-a-kind Wyoming made products, exceptional service and affordable supplies. 

WY Brand Industries can also assist with hard to fill labor needs. Inmates who participate in the WY Brand Industries program make major contributions from their wages for taxes, room and board, family support, victims' compensation, restitution, and the costs of their programming.

By returning law-abiding, trained and productive citizens to the community, WY Brand Industries also dramatically contributes to an overall reduction in recidivism, therefore saving Wyoming taxpayers millions of dollars in future incarceration costs.
