3 online full length documentaries of introducing Vipasssana meditation in prisons: (YouTube)
Doing Time Doing Vipassana (Tihar, India)
Changing From the Inside (Seattle Women's Rehabilitation)
Dhamma Brothers (Alabama men's prison)
I am currently looking at data from the Alabama prison to assess efficacy of Vipassana meditation in prison populations to improve emotional regulation, mood disorders, anger, stress levels, coping skills, etc.
Does anyone have a source on building a trauma informed jail? Our community is looking to build a new jail although there is a community-wide and successful push back that jail alternatives also need to be part of the resolution. The jail is still likely to happen and I am hoping to help get language in the resolution that the physical space has to meet trauma informed guidelines. Any successful models out there?
