Dennis Dubin: Energy Architecture Prison Construction Saves Money


By Elisabeth Lawrence

At a time in our nation's history when over 1.9 million Americans

are incarcerated at a taxpayer expense of over $65 billion each

year Wholesale Soccer Jerseys From China , Dennis Dubin has a radical, if sensible idea: build energy-

efficient prisons. "In the U.S., we keep building more prisons,

but current methods of prison construction waste valuable

resources, most notably taxpayers' money Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China ," says Mr. Dubin, a real

estate and venture investor whose activities have included

interests in telecommunications, health care, alternative energy-

related businesses, and meaningful philanthropic support for

worthy causes ( ).

Mr. Dubin is a proud American who serves as a director of the

Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation (supporting

families and agents in need within the Federal law enforcement

community) and is an active member in the Navy War College

Foundation and an advisor to the World Security Network.

He was a selection committee member and representative to the

International Congress for Distinguished Awards for the

International Earth Day Medal at the United Nations (Earth Day).

Even though Mr. Dubin is a champion of the Constitution and

democratic principles Wholesale Soccer Jerseys , he is a respectful internationalist and

special advisor to the United Nations chartered University of

Peace (UPeace). He is also a board member of UPeace USA, where he

is incubating a youth violence reduction initiative as a possible

global model. In addition, Mr. Dubin is a special consultant with

the National Foundation for Women Legislators Committee on Crime,

Justice, Terrorism & Substance Abuse Policy and a former trustee

of the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize.

Mr. Dubin has become known as an innovative thinker who creates

leading edge concepts in areas of social concern.

"Unless we begin to take a progressive approach Wholesale Jerseys China Free Shipping , we'll continue

down the slippery slope of inefficiency and misuse of our human

and natural resources," he points out. For Mr. Dubin, that

progressive approach incorporates something he refers to as

"energy architecture," whereby correctional facilities are built

using cutting edge environmental innovation and alternative,

renewable energy sources. "The capability of a prison to operate

off the grid would tremendously reduce the cost of operating that

facility Wholesale Authentic Jerseys ," he says. "Prison construction and operation that is not

only energy independent, but that is also sustainable through

methods ranging from growing food to water reclamation would allow

local, state, and federal governments to reallocate money toward

education and other important programs."

Mr. Dubin's proposition couldn't come at a better time. Research

indicates that, over the past 25 years Wholesale Cheap Jerseys , entry into correctional

facilities has risen an astounding 377%, with a corresponding

budget increase of 600%.

The trend shows no signs of slowing. In California alone, the

projected state spending on incarceration over the next 20 years

is $1.3 trillion. "The sheer cost of building and operating

prisons demands that we think outside of the box and come up with

creative solutions to lower expenses associated with the criminal

justice system," says Mr. Dubin.

Mr. Dubin's forward-thinking stance on prison construction is one

element of his larger vision, which includes the importance of

America's ability to compete in the global marketplace. "We live

in an extremely complex world with mounting energy costs and with

additional security expenses in response to the threat of

terrorism. At the same time Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping , we're competing with the low cost of

human labor in Asia and India," he says. "Wasting our human and

natural resources translates into increased debt, a failure to

compete, and an imbalance in trade."

"America 聳 and companies like GM 聳 cannot continue to subsist on

stored fat, but must expand its legacy and fulfill its destiny as

a leader in technology as well as human and social innovation."

The zero-sum game can become a win-win. Just how to do this will

be the subject of the next feature article.
