The „green” prisons...
meaning the results of the ecological footprint reduction of the Hungarian Prison Service
Abstract
In accordance with the requirements of development policy and the high-level requirements of the performance tasks, the Hungarian Prison Service constantly strives to keep in mind and use innovative and environmental solutions in its daily work. The large-scale energy rationalization and deployment of solar systems in recent years has affected almost all of our institutes. On April 29, 2021, the Legal Section of the Hungarian Prison Scientific Society held a roundtable-discussion, entitled „The Green Prisons meaning the crossroads of the Green Deal and Hungarian Prison Service”. The European Union after the 2019 elections set itself the goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The Hungarian Prison Service has been engaged in quite serious tender activities in recent years, so the question has arisen to discuss whether prison can be part of achieving the above goal and, if so, how?
