摘要

The Green Corrections project, funded by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC), was a three-phase project with the following objectives: (1) Understand the green corrections landscape and report details in a comprehensive white paper titled The Greening of Corrections: Creating a Sustainable System; (2) Disseminate The Greening of Corrections report; (3) Develop a green corrections community of practice, and (4) Provide green corrections technical assistance to states. The first and second phases of the project consisted of developing and disseminating a comprehensive white paper entitled The Greening of Corrections: Creating a Sustainable System, which focused on: 1) Identifying green-collar job readiness programs and jobs that provide viable, quality employment opportunities in the green economy for individuals in correctional facilities and those reentering communities, 2) Making prison industry products, jobs, and services more environmentally friendly, 3) Building or transforming correctional agencies into self-sustaining innovative facilities.
