Norwegian authorities hope to  thus instill a sense of responsibility in their inmates and to better  prepare them for an eco-conscious life once they leave the prison. The  facility, which is located on Bastoey Island (about 46 mi south of  Oslo), houses 115 inmates. Justice Minister Knut Storberget explained  that &#8220;from a social and economic perspective, this is cheapest for  society,&#8221; adding that it only made sense for a prison already renowned  for its pleasant living conditions  &#8211;  resembling a summer camp more  than a conventional prison with activities like tennis, horse riding and  swimming  &#8211;  to go that extra step to rehabilitate its inmates. <a title=\"Strange But True Prison\" href=\"http:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/files\/2007\/08\/strange_but_true_prison.php\" target=\"_blank\"> http:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/files\/2007\/08\/strange_but_true_prison.php<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECOLOGY &amp; NATURE TREE HUGGER &#8211; Prisons probably aren&#8217;t the first buildings that spring to mind when you think about green design and architecture.
