Zen Practice for Inmates

http://www.engaged-zen.org/
Meditation training as an alternative to conventional sentencing.

The Engaged Zen Foundation intends to establish a monastic-based alternative sentencing facility where offenders may serve out sentences in a highly disciplined Zendo atmosphere.
