OUR VISION:
In full support and implementation of the WDOC vision, WY

1. Developing workforce excellence (staff and offender)
2. Staff and offender training and professional development
3. Personal accountability
Who are we? 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.
Who can buy products from WY Brand Industries? Non-profit organizations and any county, city, or state agency can purchase products. Wyoming businesses can purchase wholesale products if they will be sold within the state.
Who cannot buy products from WY Brand Industries? Private citizens cannot purchase directly from WY Brand Industries. All sales must go through a non-profit organization or through a Wyoming business that carries our product line. Visit the Wyoming Made Gifts page for a list of retail outlets.
