Baseball Caps
Horses (they break and train them)
airplane parts and missile harnesses
military clothing, including bullet proof vests

There's even one group of of SC inmates that spent some time in the 90's making Victoria Secret lingerie.

(Full disclosure, I did some research on this a few years back when a relative was in prison on an assault charge and he was paid to make braille books. It got my curiousity up.)

Ontario inmates also make plates. They also make all the clothing, bedding and other sewn materials used in the correctional facilities. For the last year they have also been making millions of disposable face masks.
