Vipassana Meditation Courses for Correctional Facilities (http://www.prison.dhamma.org/)
Vipassana meditation as taught by S.N. Goenka has been successfully offered over the last 10 years within prisons located in India, Israel, Mongolia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand, U.K., and the United States. Since all courses are 10-days in length and residential in nature, they are held within the walls of a corrections institution with the teachers and the volunteers who are managing the courses living with the prisoners for the duration of the course.
