(1) To further provide more adequate, regular, and suitable employment for the prisoners of this state, consistent with proper penal purposes;

(2) To further utilize the labor of prisoners for self-maintenance and for reimbursing this state for expenses incurred by reason of their crimes and imprisonment; and

(3) To effect the requisitioning and disbursement of prison products directly through established state authorities with no possibility of private profits therefrom.
