A great article about green corrections was published on msnbc.com on November 1st, 2008.  In case you didn't see it, take a look: Prisons go green, farm, recycle to save energy

The article provides examples of cost saving measures such as using wood chips to run water boilers and installing energy efficient appliances and solar panels to reduce energy consumption.  The article also discusses the impact that green collar activities can have on inmates while incarcerated.

Thanks so much for the postings, Scott.  Are the info center staff on the lookout for articles, too?

Hi Ginny -

Yes, the info center staff is looking for articles.  There aren't too many articles on green corrections right now, but I anticipate that will change within the coming months.
