This week we will be visiting the world's first ecological prison, located on the Norwegian island of Bastoy, just 75 km south of Oslo. The 115 inmates live in wood cabins, not cell blocks, and are free to roam the grounds. We'll be meeting some of the guards and detainees to see how they are breaking down barriers for the good of the environment and society. Then on to Nairobi, Kenya to see how organic gardening is keeping the youth out of prison.
