Haystack Mountain, every business in its sales channels and whoever else buys goat milk made by people earning $1/day.

No, the prison uses the money they make from the sales for the prison, that was in the article. Haystack would still have bought the milk for standard price, and sell their cheese at standard price. The extra money from the cheap labor when into the prison itself.

No, I think crispyambulance is right. The article said every other local supplier closed doors, so Haystack couldn't have bought the milk at that price.
