Instead, many drivers are hanging onto the plates they have, a choice that makes sense to Ricardo Callender, another prisoner at Auburn. He sifts through hundreds of thousands of finished plates a year.

If he finds any that are dented or scratched, he sends them back to go through the line again. Every now and then, he said, he comes across a vanity plate ordered by a friend or relative. He is one of the state-employed civilians from outside the prison grounds who work as supervisors at Corcraft, which might be the only recession-proof industry in Auburn.

About of the 1, inmates at Auburn are involved in making plates, said Greg Thurston, a civilian who serves as a general foreman at the plant.

He began working at Auburn 30 years ago, when New York's plates were still blue-on-gold, and he laughs about sticking around long enough to hear the new plates described as "retro. Most of the prisoners who agreed to be interviewed are doing time on murder conivctions. Yet Thurston and his fellow civilian supervisors say the inmates typically work hard at their jobs.

Being at Corcraft, prison officials say, is a reward for good behavior in the prison, and there is a waiting list for the jobs. While workers earn just 42 cents an hour - a salary rate allowed by state law - several inmates said any source of income is important, since it allows for purchases of food, clothing items, magazines and other goods from the Auburn commissary.

Specialty plates for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles - and the car and truck plates known as "vanities" - are handled in a graphics shop at the front of the plant. After the vanity plates go through quality control, inmates stuff them into envelopes and get them ready to be mailed for mailing to individual homes. The core of the plant - the spot where plates are made for a typical New Yorker - is the area used for embossing, which is essentially stamping. Each station involves a three-man team of prisoners.
