Inmates Busy Cranking Out New License Plates

Hominy, OK – Inmates at the Dick Conner Correctional Center are busy cranking out thousands of newly designed license tags for Oklahoma motorists.

The inmates are expected to create 3.5 million new tags by the end of next year.

The tags feature the Gilcrease Museum's ``Sacred Rain Arrow'' statue of an American Indian preparing to fire an arrow into sky.

They'll be available to all motorists when they renew their registrations starting in January.

The numbers are maroon on the new tag with a pearl-white background and the name ``Oklahoma'' at the top. The bottom of the plate has a narrow blue band with the words ``Native America.''

There will also be tags for local governments, schools and state vehicles, and for farm and commercial trucks.

On those tags the words ``Native America'' will be replaced with whatever the specific designation is.
