I see nothing wrong with it. Probably tires them out too.

I would be all over that as a prisoner. I would want it to be based on watt hours instead of just time in the saddle.

If one of those guys breaks loose and grabs someones bike, he'll be 100 miles away before the authorities figure out which direction he went.

I would volunteer to be on bike duty as long as I could every day in order to whittle that sentence down to time served.

Every prison needs manufacturing factories and systems such as this for those criminals to pay it back to society and lessen the tax burden for citizens, it’s common sense

Look at El Salvador

Good public relations for the prison, but the amount of power those three bikes generate is minuscule. I remember having a light on my bicycle that was powered off the wheel. It was barely bright enough to see when you were pedaling your arse off.

In theory maybe.

But the average prisoner thinks like this:

(1) take bike apart when guards aren't looking
(2) use disassembled bike part to stab other inmate who looked at them funny
(3) ???
(4) profit

My only issue is they're gaining endurance. Might make them harder to catch when they get out and commit crimes again.

You’d need to keep your head on a swivel in there for joule thieves.
