Today we’re talking about prison reform that gives inmates a second chance to heal, change, and become liberated from their past traumas and old destructive behaviors.
The most important element of the prison experience for an inmate is supposed to be rehabilitation. Yet, statistics, unfortunately, show that over 67% of prisoners are arrested for a new crime within three years of their release.
A big part of this problem is that after many people serve time, their release brings forth a new kind of prison. This often includes homelessness and poverty due to the limitations they are faced with because of their criminal record.
Access to jobs, education, housing - all of the things that they need to get a fresh start - are scarce, to say the least, and the odds aren't often in their favor.
Spiritual leader and master healer, Brahman Kyrie, joins me today to discuss the impactful work that she's doing with inmates in Donovan State Prison through spiritual teachings that support them on a journey of healing, rehabilitation, transformation, and liberation.
We Discuss:
- What's going in the prison system today and how we can improve prison reform
- Why proper rehabilitation is crucial for the safety of society and those incarcerated
- Addressing and healing pain, trauma, and emotional triggers through inner child work
- What the “Freedom on the Inside” Prison Project is doing for incarcerated individuals
- The stigma and crippling limitations that inmates are faced with after being released
