The prison
called Santa Rita do Sapucaí in Brazil had found new source of regenerative energy that can even
motivate prisoners to get in good shape. The idea came from the judge José
Henrique Mallmann, he has seen in other prisons that were giving incentives for
riding bikes. So, he considered updating this idea to new charging bikes that
can provides enough power to a battery that gives light to a street-light. The
idea is that for every 16 hours spend riding (charging) the stationed bike,
each prisoners will have a day off of their sentences. The voluntary program
seems to be well integrated and many of them think it’s a very good idea and
even says it keep them in good shape while making them feel good to do
something that can help the society.
