Breaking Point (Prisons That Don’t Work, Why and What Can Be Done)

Last week The Discovery Channel ran a special report on the Solano Prison and the general conditions that exist in the State of California prison system, narrated by Ted Koppel.

Based on information on the Department of Correction’s website, the population of the prisons is at 204% (two hundred and four percent) of capacity, as of today. That means that facilities designed by those who are supposed to know best regarding maximum effectiveness and issues that relate to creating increased tension for inmates and staff are more than twice as full as they should be.

Maureen Clancy | Portland, ME

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.
