...mission a good hotel. The building is constructed out of recycled and reclaimed materials, the lobby vending machine dispenses gifts also made from reclaimed materials (no potato chips here) and the hotel has partnered with the nonprofit volunteer organization One Brick to encourage guests to become "voluntourists."

Last week prison officials invited CellAntenna Corp. to demonstrate such technology for state and federal lawmakers. The prison system also invited representatives from the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates jamming.
