"Paid just 85-cents-per-hour, inmates at a Seattle-area prison provide a relatively inexpensive source of scientific labor. But who knew they could also grow frogs better than some traditional research facilities? The Seattle Times reports today about the stunning success a pair of inmates have had raising endangered Oregon spotted frogs at the Ceder Creek Corrections Center. Only eight frogs have died out of the 80 eggs the two men started with in early April—a loss rate well below that of two zoos and a wildlife park that are also involved in the research project." - Shannon Jiménez
