THE HARLAN FACILITY HAS INVESTED IN A
PARTNERSHIP WITH KELLWELL FOOD SERVICE.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS.

THE AGREEMENT IS THAT KELLWELL RUNS
THE FACILITY KITCHEN USING THE SAME
KITCHEN STAFF AND INMATES AS BEFORE.
THEY EVEN HIRED THE SAME KITCHEN
MANAGER THAT HAD BEEN WORKING AT THE
FACILITY FOR THE LAST 13 YEARS.
KELLWELL AGREED TO PURCHASE AT MARKET
VALUE HARLAN'S ENTIRE GARDEN CROP
WHILE DEDUCTING THE PROCEEDS FROM
THEIR OVERALL FOOD COSTS.

THIS LED TO JAILER BURKHART'S DECISION TO
DEVOTING THE ENTIRE 13 ACRE GARDEN TO
ONLY POTATOES, SINCE POTATOES YIELD THE
GREATEST PROFIT POTENTIAL.

THE GARDEN MAY NOT BE AS GREEN IN THE
SUMMER MONTHS BUT MAKING THIS CHANGE
SAVES TAXPAYER DOLLARS ON FOOD COST
WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE INMATE
MEALS.

THIS PARTNERSHIP HAS HELPED TO BRING
OPERATION COSTS TO THE LOWEST EVER.
