Services Offered to Detainees

I find working with prisoners immensely rewarding. Yes, there can be challenges, and of course there can be frustrations. However, to become engaged in another persons journey of discovery, to see that moment of recognition that ‘there is another way’ and to bear witness to the change process always, always makes the time and effort so worthwhile.

Prison Teacher, Brahma Kumaris

Working with prisoners has been the cornerstone of the Brahma Kumaris service in the offender management arena. With time and through personal experiences, the form of that service has been adapted to accommodate the particular needs and circumstances of inmates and to reflect the available ‘resources.’

Since that first contact, prisoners from nearly thirty establishments have taken benefit, either from direct teaching or distance learning.

Whatever the method of engaging with the prisoners, it has the effect of

		opening up and nurturing both the mind and the heart and
		taking them forward into a space from which they will always take benefit.

This course opened my eyes to some simple things.

This is the most useful course that I have attended in giving me more clarity on how to go forward with developing higher consciousness.

Feedback has been excellent: the ideas and debating points have been discussed at length in the days following the seminar; men have clearly been inspired, excited and strengthened by the processes involved.
