The Nation's Greenest Prison


As I scrolled through the green-building forums the other day, this item stopped me. I've never really associated "green" with "prison", but there really is no reason why those standards can't be applied to such institutions.


After all, prisons consume large amounts of energy and space. So, they're perfect for green technology.


Anyway, here's the story on the greenest prison in America, Coyote Ridge Corrections Center in the state of Washington.
