A MEDITATION AND MINDFULNESS FLASHBACK

DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, WE WERE UNABLE TO BRING YOU A NEW SHOW THIS WEEK, SO ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES AND ENJOY A FLASHBACK TO ONE OF THE HUSTLER FILES MORE POPULAR SHOWS! WE’LL BE BACK WITH A NEW EPISODE FOR SHOW #28 NEXT WEEK!

Bruce Willis, THE Actor, has a quote, ‘You Can’t Undo The Past, But You Can Certainly Not Repeat It’.  Many people residing behind the wall have experienced disciplinary issues in their past.  A mindfulness program developed at the Hampden County Sheriff’s Office, by program manager Dan Cavanaugh, in 2019, is experiencing dramatic results for those participants who are currently incarcerated.  The program, aptly named, S.A.V.R., Stress, Anger, Violence Reduction, not only teaches meditation and mindful behavior but addresses topics like anger management, cognitive-behavioral therapy skills, parenting, and domestic violence.

THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL LIFE, KEEP MOVING FORWARD

Criminal Justice and Prison Reform may vary from State to State, but for those who understand that trauma is at the core of most incarcerated individuals, the key goal to their success, both behind the wall and upon returning to society, is to keep moving forward.  Sadly, not all jails and prisons consider the value of moving incarcerated individuals forward.  Thanks to researchers and change makers like Ed Hayes and Levin Schwartz, best practices and improved treatment of incarcerated individuals are being shared and implemented.
