Prisoner Rehabilitation
Expand your vision, and see that inside every culprit is a victim crying for help. If you heal the victim, you will eliminate crime from the planet. "
-- H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
The Vision
The Prison program was developed by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar with the underlying principle that every culprit is himself/herself a victim of their circumstances. It is customized for application within high stress environments like prisons and juvenile detention centers.
Addressing this need we support:
1. The primary population including inmates, ex-inmates, half-way house residents, those on parole or probation, incarcerated youth at juvenile justice centers, and women in prison
2. The victims of the crime
3. Those working to control it, i.e. criminal justice professionals, law enforcement officers, prison officials and administrators.
Highlights of the Program
-
The first of its kind, it is progressive, practical and result-oriented, providing compassionate, innovative and effective solutions to breaking the cycles of violence and tackling escalating global crime rates.
-
Most importantly, it offers prisoners the opportunity of genuine rehabilitation and integration into society.
-
The Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique, which completely roots out stress - the main cause of crime, primarily makes this possible.
-
They are given a vision and at the end of the program they are presented with a mission, as to how they can live better lives and contribute to society on their release.
