Letter from PMI/PDN Founder Fleet MaullDear Friends,

Completing our 25th anniversary year at Prison Mindfulness Institute and celebrating a quarter century of collaborating with all of you – our amazing members, partners, staff, board members, volunteers and loyal supporters – in touching and transforming tens of thousands of lives through mindfulness, one thing stands out foremost in my mind and heart... Gratitude! We are so deeply grateful to all of you, the thousands of volunteers and supporters with whom we have had the privilege to collaborate with all these years in bringing the healing and transformative power of mindfulness and contemplative practices to the millions of men, women and young people who find their way into our criminal justice system and correctional facilities. We are also deeply grateful to and inspired by the courageous adults and young people who, under the most difficult circumstances imaginable, have not given up on themselves or society and have taken up the practice and study of mindfulness meditation and/or yoga in an effort to create a new life for themselves and their loved ones. We are particularly grateful to the hundreds of Path

of Freedom® facilitators who have completed our online trainings and are bringing this life changing mindfulness-based emotional intelligence (MBEI) curriculum to at-risk and incarcerated youth and adults all across the U.S. and around the world. We are also very grateful to the thousands of corrections professionals who do a very tough job day in and day out, working to keep everyone safe, and in particular to those who have proactively supported mindfulness-based and/or contemplative programming of one kind or another in the institutions and facilities where they serve.

2014 was another great year for PMI and all those we serve, representing another leap forward in our ability to support more and more prisoners, prison volunteers, and criminal justice professionals with mindfulness-based training and programs. We engaged a research consultant to complete a thorough program evaluation of our men’s and women’s Path of Freedom® programs in Rhode Island, and although the report is not yet complete, we have already instituted improvements and refinements in our facilitator training and program delivery based on insights gained from the evaluation

process. We also added a weekly Path of Freedom® class at one of the two juvenile detention facilities in Rhode Island to our ongoing schedule of men’s and women’s POF classes. We trained an additional 150 Path of Freedom® facilitators nationally and now have Path of Freedom® programs in eleven states and five countries. We completed the first-of-its-kind Mindfulness-Based

Wellness & Resiliency - MBWR™ training for correctional officers in Oregon with 60 correctional officers from five different Oregon state prisons, including the maximum-security state penitentiary. The Oregon DOC has contracted with PMI to deliver three more MBWR™ programs with 40 correctional officers each.

We are very happy and inspired about the new Path of Freedom® reentry programs established by two of our stellar POF facilitators at St. Francis House and Haley House, two of the largest agencies serving the homeless and released prisoners in Boston. We are also excited to be offering our MBWR™ staff training for the staff at the Pine Street Inn, another large shelter and social services agency serving the homeless in Boston, where we hope to establish a Path of Freedom® program for their clientele in the near future. Finally, one of the most exciting and inspiring developments in 2014 was the launch of our Mindful Justice collaboration with the Berkeley Initiative for Mindfulness in Law at the UCAL Berkeley Law School. Through the Mindful Justice project, we are catalyzing regional and national conversations about mindfulness-based, “smart on crime,” front-to-back innovations and reforms designed to transform our criminal justice system into a truly humane system focused on assuring public safety and building resilient communities through crime and violence prevention and healing, education and transformation for offenders, victims and their families and communities. We held our first meeting with a diverse group of seventeen criminal justice professionals, policy makers, academics and activists at the Berkeley Law School in May 2014. We are now organizing a national meeting at the Fetzer Institute’s Seasons Conference Center for September 2015.

May 2015 be a year of profound healing and transformation for all those we serve, for everyone serving in or impacted by our criminal justice system and for our entire society.

Mission Values VisionPMI’s mission is to provide prisoners, and those who work with them, with the most effective contemplative tools for self-transformation and rehabilitation. We support at-risk and incarcerated youth and adults in their contemplative practices and path, with an emphasis on mindfulness and awareness meditation, yoga and proven-effective, mindfulness-based interventions (MRI’s) like MBEI and MBSR. We also support prisoners in their study and practice of the contemplative teachings of various Buddhist and other world wisdom traditions. We promote these paths of wakefulness and non-aggression as ideal vehicles for self-rehabilitation and personal transformation. We believe in the power of the various mindfulness-awareness practices and body-mind disciplines of the world’s contemplative traditions to change behaviors, transform lives, and ultimately to reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and enhance community safety and well-being.

We also provide Mindfulness-Based Wellness & Resiliency (MBWR)™ training, Mindfulness-Based Emotional Intelligence (MBEI) training, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) training for correctional officers and other criminal justice and social services professionals.

We believe in the basic goodness of all human beings and in their innate potential for healing and transformation.

We favor the healing and transformational paradigm of the Restorative and Transformative Justice models of criminal justice over the more punitive paradigm of Retributive Justice.

We support all prisoners, prison volunteers, and corrections professionals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religious persuasion, politics, or sexual orientation, according every individual the utmost respect and dignity.

We believe in spiritual, humanistic, restorative, and empowering models for self-transformation and rehabilitation, following the principle “give someone a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach the person to fish, and you feed her for a lifetime.”

Transformative CorrectionsWe envision correctional facilities and community corrections programs that promote healing, education, and personal transformation, genuinely supporting rehabilitation and making use of proven effective, evidence-based methodologies from the body-mind awareness disciplines of the world wisdom traditions and contemporary psychology.

Successful ReintegrationThrough the success of such programs, we envision a faster and more successful reintegration of rehabilitated prisoners into the community. We envision a gradual shift towards more reliance on community corrections programs to keep individuals in the community – working, paying taxes, supporting their families and parenting their children.

Transforming Community LeadershipWe further envision a growing number of prisoners and ex-prisoners emerging as community leaders and change agents working to heal individuals and communities both inside and outside the walls of our correctional institutions, thus contributing significantly to the overall health and well-being of society.

“I meditate to stay in the now. It helps me to see and understand the constant stream of negative and angry self talk that has been running through my mind while I was unaware; it makes my days constructive. I treat others with more respect after meditation practice. I have had moments of bliss in a very grey environment.”

~Prisoner, Path of Freedom Class  

The Challenge Our Solution Our StrategyWith nearly seven million men, women and children under some kind of correctional supervision in the U.S., our criminal justice system has devolved into a self-perpetuating industry that warehouses human beings deemed to be expendable. This industry is siphoning away critical community resources from health, education and infrastructure, while actually diminishing overall public safety. Correctional facilities offer their unfortunate occupants little hope of ever having a better, more productive life.

Mindfulness-based programs offer prisoners new hope for changing and transforming their lives for the better. Current neuroscience research has demonstrated clearly the positive impact of consistent meditation practice on human development, brain function and behavior.

Mindfulness-based emotional intelligence (MBEI) training has demonstrated significant positive impact for persons suffering from depression, as well as attention deficits, poor impulse control and other behavioral issues prevalent in the prison population.

Prison Mindfulness Institute is developing and promoting innovative and transformative evidence-based programs for the mainstream of corrections practice. Our flagship Path of Freedom program presents an MBEI approach to relieving suffering and promoting positive behavior change.

We are working to actualize our PMI mission of transforming lives and society with three principal strategies:

• Leading the field as an innovative developer and direct provider of mindfulness-based emotional intelligence (MBEI) training for the corrections field.

• Conducting quality research programs designed to scientifically evaluate and improve current programs and to establish mindfulness-based interventions and programming as evidence based practice (EBP) in the field of corrections.

• Growing and resourcing an international, contemplative and mindfulness-based prison work movement — providing prisoners, prison volunteers, corrections staff and over 195 PDN-member prison projects and organizations with the most effective mindfulness-based tools, training and resources available.

“Prisons present a tremendous challenge to everyone in them. The prison environment makes peace of mind fleeting at best. Yet, without that ground of inner peace, it is hard to benefit oneself or others, especially under extreme conditions. However, prisoners who have learned to meditate in these harsh conditions have found that the mindfulness and inner strength they develop helps them deal with the obstacles they face on many levels.

For the past twenty years, Prison Mindfulness Institute has developed a reliable reputation for providing prisoners with the powerful tool of meditation to help them work deeply with whatever they confront in their lives. I fully endorse and support their noble, compassionate and steadfast work.”

~Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

Path of FreedomTM ProjectSince launching the POF Webinars in 2009, 464 participants from around the world have completed the POF facilitator training. The majority of these participants are volunteers or professionals already involved in corrections, treatment, or at-risk youth programs of one kind or another. The Path of Freedom™ is a uniquely integrated rehabilitation and personal development curriculum. It incorporates mindfulness training, cognitive-behavioral training, and social-emotional learning in a pragmatic twelve session, experiential course that can be delivered in a variety of settings and in various formats.

In 2014 we offered four Path of Freedom online trainings, training a total of 150 people. We will be running three POF trainings in 2015 and hope to train 225 people. We held several advanced webinars for for POF graduates and in 2015 we are holding an advanced facilitator training.

Online Interactive Facilitator’s GuideIn 2014, we continued to develop resources for our interactive, online facilitators website for all Path of Freedom™ (POF) facilitators. We added 105 new active facilitators to the site in 2014, bringing the total to 418 POF facilitators. This site provides all the materials, guidelines, and additional resources facilitators need to deliver the Path of Freedom™ curriculum. POF facilitators post reports, blogs and comments about sessions they deliver, creating a rich collaborative environment and providing valuable feedback for ongoing curriculum development.

Inside Path of Freedom™ Programs:In 2014, we expanded our Path of Freedom programs at the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC).

We ran two 14-week semesters at medium security facility with 25 participants each time. In the fall, we started an advanced POF class at medium for twelve men who have done the class at least twice. We also ran two 14-week semesters in women’s medium with twelve participants each time. Over the summer we started an on going class for young men at the Training School juvenile facility.

In Massachusetts, we expanded our group of trained Path of Freedom Facilitators and now have POF programs in seven MA DOC facilities.

Path of FreedomTM Research:Ongoing research on our Path of FreedomTM programs in Rhode Island prisons conducted by researchers at Brown University, University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College has shown significant positive impacts for participants, including fewer violent and/or negative behavior incidents, fewer positive drug screens (after release), lowered state and trait anxiety levels, increased emotional intelligence, and increased capacity for both mindfulness and self-transcendence.

“Probably the most important thing that I take from this training is that we are all (those in and those out of prison) much more similar than many people would like to admit. We all have very similar maladies and none of us are completely good or completely bad. Every one of us can benefit from living a more mindful existence.”

“The selection of mindfulness and personal development material/exercises and resources was thoughtful and well structured. I appreciated the generosity that is infused throughout the whole program in both the sense of providing curriculum resources for facilitators and believing in the best possible outcome for those participating in the training.”

“It is important that we do not forget what happens in our prisons, nor what they are for. Prisons should not only be focused on punishment, but also on rehabilitation. No one is entirely evil, for everyone does possess a basic sense of humanity at some level. Indeed we Buddhists believe that everyone has Buddha nature, the potential to become a Buddha. In our various communities it is important to ensure that the prison system functions in the interest of us all.

I am pleased to learn that the Prison Dharma Network [Prison Mindfulness Institute] is working to support rehabilitation through education and other activities within the prison system. I am confident that these projects will be of long term benefit both to prison inmates and society at large and offer my prayers for their success.”

~H.H. Dalai Lama

“I believe we live in an era where our expectations of getting things right there on demand are very high. So when we come across a practice like meditation which challenges our convictions we tend to be disappointed, not knowing that becoming aware of this wrong core belief that we have about expectations can be obtained through the simplest forms of meditating.”

~Prisoner, Path of Freedom Class

Mindfulness-Based Emotional Intelligence (MBEI) and Wellness & Resiliency (MBWR) Training for Corrections Professionals:Following up on a successful mindfulness-based professional development program for correctional counselors, probation officers and treatment providers in the Rhode Island Department of Corrections in 2013, we completed a yearlong, first-of-its-kind mindfulness-based wellness & resiliency (MBWRTM) program for sixty correctional officers at five Oregon Department of Corrections prisons in 2014. The program successfully addresses the issues of chronic stress, severe burnout (corrections fatigue), and primary and secondary trauma exposure and their negative impact on career correctional officers and their families, including impaired health, family conflicts, anxiety, depression, suicide and

early death from chronic stress related illnesses. The Oregon Department of Corrections has contracted with PMI for another 18 months of MBWRTM programing in 2015/2016 with 120 correctional officers as six different prisons.

Prison Dharma Press As the premier publisher of prison dharma literature, PDN has distributed over 10,000 copies of our publications to prisoners, prison libraries and volunteers nationwide, including: Sitting Inside: Buddhist Practice in America’s Prisons, Dharma In Hell: The Prison Writings of Fleet Maull, and Path of Freedom Workbook.

“The idea of applying meditation to whatever provokes resentment has been especially practical for a prison surrounding. There is so much suffering, anger and delusion to purify with the heart. One of the most difficult issues I face in my practice, one that I face with great happiness, and sometimes resignation, is the process of developing compassion for myself and others in this setting. Embracing seemingly negative situations and emotions opens each experience up to soften my heart and awaken my mind.”

~Path of Freedom Participant

“This course has freed me, it has given me tools that I can always carry with me to see that open door. Also, to share that with others, especially those who are incarcerated who feel they have nothing. This will give them freedom in a way they may never have known.”

In Dharma in Hell, prison activist and meditation teacher Fleet Maull shares

his journey of transformation and service amidst the anger, violence,

darkness and despair of a maximum security federal prison. This collection

of previously published and unpublished writings from his 14 years behind

bars vibrates with kindness, hope and the triumph of the human spirit. It is

a testament to the truth that all human beings possess basic goodness.

Fleet Maull looked into the belly of the beast and saw his Original Face. This is a

beautiful, profound, honest, and incredibly moving book about finding spiritual light in

the deepest of shadows. If you have any shadows in your life, if you have any prisons

in your soul, this is a guide that can genuinely help you find that ever-present,

already-escaped, forever-free, extraordinary light.

— Ken Wilber, Author, The Simple Feeling of Being

Fleet Maull, M.A., Ph.D. candidate, is a meditation teacher, prison

activist and the founder of both Prison Dharma Network and the

National Prison Hospice Association, which promote contemplative

spirituality and compassionate end-of-life care in prisons and jails.

He is also an adjunct faculty member teaching socially engaged

spirituality at Naropa University and a management consultant who

provides transformational training and coaching to business and

nonprofit leaders and their organizations. He currently serves as

the Director of the Colorado Peacemaker Institute.

Praise for Dharma in Hell:

In the charnel ground that is America’s prisons, Fleet Maull lived a life of vows and

service for 15 years. These writings are proof and testament to his personal strength,

determination and courage in the face of indescribable despair, as well as to his

power as a committed dharma practitioner to bring compassion and transformation

into truly hellish realms. Fleet Maull is an indomitable spirit.

— Roshi Bernie Glassman and Sensei Eve Marko

“This is so simple (letting go) but due to conditioning it makes it so so difficult at times to let go of what feels second nature. But as we well know, what is learned can be unlearned and what is broken can be fixed.”

~Prisoner, Path of Freedom Class  

“I steadily study the wonderful dharma books I’ve received from all of you beautiful people out there. Your compassion inspires me and helps me with my approach to my teaching job here at this facility. Once more I want to express my gratitude for all of your wonderful work. Please, never think or feel your endeavors aren’t appreciated.”
