If convicted in Wisconsin, the felons could be sentenced to smell our dairy air as they worked at one of the correctional system’s farms. I have actually treated a number of inmates who had injuries from cows stepping on them. Most such injuries could have been prevented if said inmates had worn their work boots. ---

> [@nightshadea](#): > > here’s a more local version to the area story It’s actually not very local. It’s from India, not the Netherlands.
