RollWolfpack Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Below is a link to a story done by the Public Relations guy for the Durham Bulls baseball club.Although it sounds cheesy at times, not a bad article on how these specialty plates are made.Durham Bulls License Plates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The process begins at The North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women Wow. I didn't realize they still made license plates at the Big House - always presumed that was some relic of black and white movies. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

njmeadowlanders Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Pretty interesting...Can I swipe that "wall of fame" by the way?Or, if I did that, would I end up making ones that would make it to that very same wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterE Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I spotted a Purdue plate on the Wall of Fame. I've never heard of a state having that much variety of customizable options for plates before. Get Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gueman Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm sure you guys are going to also tell me that they still make big yellow roadsigns in the clink too.Actually I know in Maryland, Maryland Correctional Enterprises as it is called, makes a whole bunch of stuff. Although it isn't listed they also make the license plates and I do think they make the signage as well. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P.

I didn't realize they still made license plates at the Big House - always presumed that was some relic of black and white movies.Yep... here in NC the Department of Corrections does a lot of things you wouldn't think would be the case. They also are the folks who answer the phones when you call about tourism in the state, for example. Pretty ironic considering that they only get to see a relatively limited part of the state themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 After reading that article, the pic of Rufus and Ray (I think that was their names) holding the Bulls plate absolutely cracked me up for some reason. Each of them have this look of "Yeah, we're just so happy to be here..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ironic, but what's disturbing is the catalogue call centers which are staffed by inmates.That's right, when you call the 800 number, you might be giving your credit card information (including the super-secret number on the back) to a con.

Gothamite Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 True enough, but still. Guy goes in for aggrivated assault, he learns a new trade in the pen. Time for disclosure.

Each of them have this look of "Yeah, we're just so happy to be here..."It was Rufus and Ron and anyone else want to take a guess what their in for? Ron looks like he was busted in one of those Online Child Predator stings, and Rufus looks like he is just caught up in the cycle of crime and has been in and out of the pen a few times.
