El modelo del Monasterio en Prisón se basa en los principios fundamentales de que el castigo no funciona y de que todos los seres humanos, cuando son restaurados a su verdadera naturaleza, son inherentemente pacíficos y buscan contribuir a la vida de quienes los rodean. Las prisiones deben ser reconvertidas para restaurar tanto a las personas privadas de libertad como al personal a sus verdaderas naturalezas. Based on five years of pilot operations, scientific evaluation, and voluminous data from evaluations of other related programs, this book suggests that the Prison Monastery model will not only produce superior outcomes for all those affected directly and indirectly by our criminal justice system, but will reduce the ever-imploding costs of incarceration. As of 2026, the foundational courses of the Prison Monastery are available to over one million incarcerated individuals across 1,500 facilities and 48 states.
