Poor and vulnerable populations are

disproportionately represented in

incarceration systems, and are often

subjected to conditions that only make it

harder to enter the mainstream when they

leave prison. Prisons have traditionally been

seen as a way to contain and isolate

dangerous people, both as punishment and for

public safety. But Internet connectivity makes it

possible to achieve some security goals while

also reintegrating prisoners into communities

in a way that benefits both prisoner and

society. Moving from a model of isolation to

positive contribution may emerge as a trend

for 21st-century prisons.

Discussions on the dysfunction of prison systems constituted a surprising

amount of game time.

A few players offered specific and innovative ideas suggesting we take advantage

of Internet connectivity to change the role of prisoners, making them productive

members of society through distance education and games.

SPP educates and trains prisoners on sustainability and conservation while minimizing the environmental impact of prisons. SPP also works with scientists, prisoners, and students in a collaborative environment to conduct ecological research, sometimes within the prisons themselves.

Creating Green Energy in Prison

A prison in Minas Gerais, Brazil shortens prison sentences for prisoners who help them electrify city streets by pedaling stationary bikes that have been retrofitted to create electricity. One day is taken off for every three eight-hour days spent pedaling.
