I guess my question is how much does a piece of tin stamped by prison labour really cost… if it’s more than a couple $ per plate then gouvernement is overpaying just because they’re the government

A quick Google says the population of Ohio was 11.7 million in 2023. Since you basically need a car to get anywhere, I'd guess probably 40-50% of that for the number of registered cars, so at $2 a plate cutting the fronts saves you somewhere around $9 million.

Not much when talking about the budget for a State, but not insignificant.
