Letter from PMI/PDN Founder Fleet Maull
have not given up on themselves
and the dedicated criminal justice
professionals who work hard and
put themselves at risk every day to
keep us all safe.
Dear Friends,
Wow, what an amazing year 2015 has been for the
prison mindfulness/prison Dharma movement and for
PMI. Criminal justice reform is now front and center in
national political and policy conversations with wide
recognition across party lines that the current system is
broken, ineffective, unjust and unsustainable. For the first
time since I founded Prison Mindfulness Institute (then
Prison Dharma Network) from my prison cell in 1989,
it appears we actually have the wind at our backs for
genuine criminal justice reform. The prison mindfulness
movement and PMI are poised to make significant “smart
on crime” contributions for positive and transformational
change. In last year’s Annual Report, celebrating our
first 25 years of transformational service to those on
the edges of our society, I spoke about gratitude. As we
enter our second quarter century of service, I must again
begin with gratitude. We are so deeply grateful for the
opportunity to work and collaborate with all of you – our
staff, board, volunteers, faculty, facilitators and loyal
supporters; the courageous youth, women and men who
2015 was another great year
for PMI and all those we serve,
representing another leap
forward in our ability to support
more and more prisoners, prison
volunteers, and criminal justice
professionals with mindfulnessbased training and programs. Our
Path of Freedom® (POF) prison
programs are flourishing and
proliferating with graduates of our
online POF facilitator training program, now numbering
more than 600, establishing POF programs in 18 states
and five countries. We operate POF prison programs in
numerous Rhode Island and Massachusetts correctional
facilities and have established Path of Freedom® reentry
programs at four large social services agencies, three
in Boston and one in Providence, that provide housing,
recovery programs and job training and education for
men, women and youth transitioning from incarceration
and/or homelessness to viable independent living in the
community. Our mindfulness-based wellness & resiliency
(MBWR)® programs for correctional officers, law
enforcement and treatment providers are also thriving
and expanding in Oregon, Massachusetts, Kentucky and
soon … California. The successful launch of our new
Mindfulness Teacher Training & Certification Program
(www.engagedmindfulness.org) is perhaps the most
impactful highlight of 2015. We formed a new subsidiary
division of PMI, called the Engaged Mindfulness Institute
(EMI), for the purpose of training professionals and
paraprofessionals working in the criminal justice, social
services and mental health fields to integrate trauma-
informed mindfulness facilitation and teaching into their
work with at-risk individuals, underserved communities
and our most vulnerable and often marginalized and
traumatized fellow citizens. We launched our first cohort
in September 2015 with 42 fabulous aspiring mindfulness
facilitators, many of whom are already doing great work
in the world. Year one of the program includes two
weeklong mindfulness retreats and 24 weeks of intensive
online training with an amazing online faculty including
Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield, Pema Chodron,
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Gaylon Ferguson, Judith
Simmer-Brown, Joseph Goldstein, Kelly McGonigal,
Rick Hanson, Angel Kyodo Williams and over thirty more
leading mindfulness teachers and clinicians.
Our Mindful Justice Initiative (MJI) (www.mindfuljustice.
org), a collaboration catalyzed with training and
funding from the Frederick P. Lenz Foundation in 2014,
reached new heights in 2015. With funding from the
Fetzer Institute and continued support from the Lenz
Foundation, we gathered 24 influential leaders from
the full spectrum of the U.S. criminal justice system at
the Fetzer Institute’s Seasons Conference Center in
September 2015 to explore mindfulness-based, smart on
crime, front to back strategies for transforming our broken
criminal justice system into a more humane, effective,
compassionate and economically sustainable approach
to enhancing public safety and lifting up those who are
falling through the cracks in our social fabric.
May 2016 be a year of profound healing and genuine
transformation for all those we serve, for everyone
serving in or impacted by our criminal justice system and
for our entire society.
Mission
Values
Vision
PMI’s mission is to provide prisoners, and those who
work with them, with the most effective contemplative
tools for self-transformation and rehabilitation. We
support at-risk and incarcerated youth and adults in their
contemplative practices and path, with an emphasis
on mindfulness and awareness meditation, yoga and
proven-effective, mindfulness-based interventions
(MRI’s) like MBEI and MBSR. We also support prisoners
in their study and practice of the contemplative teachings
of various Buddhist and other world wisdom traditions.
We promote these paths of wakefulness and nonaggression as ideal vehicles for self-rehabilitation and
personal transformation. We believe in the power of the
various mindfulness-awareness practices and bodymind disciplines of the world’s contemplative traditions to
change behaviors, transform lives, and ultimately reduce
recidivism, prevent crime, and enhance community
safety and well-being.
We believe in the basic goodness of all human
beings and in their innate potential for healing and
transformation.
Transformative Corrections
We also provide Mindfulness-Based Wellness &
Resiliency (MBWR)™ training, Mindfulness-Based
Emotional Intelligence (MBEI) training, and Motivational
Interviewing (MI) training for correctional officers and
other criminal justice and social services professionals.
As well as mindfulness teaching certifications for those
who work with at-risk individuals and underserved
communities.
We favor the healing and transformational paradigm
of the Restorative and Transformative Justice models
of criminal justice over the more punitive paradigm of
Retributive Justice.
We support all prisoners, prison volunteers, and
corrections professionals, regardless of race, ethnicity,
gender, religious persuasion, politics, or sexual
orientation, according every individual the utmost
respect and dignity.
We believe in spiritual, humanistic, restorative, and
empowering models for self-transformation and
rehabilitation, following the principle “give someone a
fish and you feed him for a day. Teach the person to
fish, and you feed her for a lifetime.”
“I meditate to stay in the now. It helps me to see and
understand the constant stream of negative and angry
self talk that has been running through my mind while
I was unaware; it makes my days constructive. I treat
others with more respect after meditation practice. I
have had moments of bliss in a very grey environment.”
~Prisoner, Path of Freedom Class We envision correctional facilities and community
corrections programs that promote healing, education,
and personal transformation, genuinely supporting
rehabilitation and making use of proven-effective,
evidence-based methodologies from the body-mind
awareness disciplines of the world wisdom traditions and
contemporary psychology.
Successful Reintegration
Through the success of such programs, we envision a
faster and more successful reintegration of rehabilitated
prisoners into the community. We envision a gradual
shift towards more reliance on community corrections
programs to keep individuals in the community –
working, paying taxes, supporting their families and
parenting their children.
Transforming Community Leadership
We further envision a growing number of prisoners
and ex-prisoners emerging as community leaders
and change agents working to heal individuals and
communities both inside and outside the walls of our
correctional institutions, thus contributing significantly to
the overall health and well-being of society.
The Challenge
Our Solution
Our Strategy
With nearly seven million men, women and children
under some kind of correctional supervision in the U.S.,
our criminal justice system has devolved into a selfperpetuating industry that warehouses human beings
deemed to be expendable. This industry is siphoning
away critical community resources from health,
education and infrastructure, while actually diminishing
overall public safety. Correctional facilities offer their
unfortunate occupants little hope of ever having a better,
more productive life.
Mindfulness-based programs offer prisoners new hope
for changing and transforming their lives for the better.
Current neuroscience research has demonstrated clearly
the positive impact of consistent meditation practice on
human development, brain function and behavior.
We are working to actualize our PMI mission of
transforming lives and society with three principal
strategies:
Mindfulness-based emotional intelligence (MBEI)
training has demonstrated significant positive impact for
persons suffering from depression, as well as attention
deficits, poor impulse control and other behavioral issues
prevalent in the prison population.
Prison Mindfulness Institute is developing and promoting
innovative and transformative evidence-based programs
for the mainstream of corrections practice. Our flagship
Path of Freedom program presents an MBEI approach
to relieving suffering and promoting positive behavior
change.
• Leading the field as an innovative developer and direct
provider of mindfulness-based emotional intelligence
(MBEI) training for the corrections field.
• Conducting quality research programs designed to
scientifically evaluate and improve current programs
and to establish mindfulness-based interventions and
programming as evidence based practice (EBP) in the
field of corrections.
• Growing and resourcing an international, contemplative
and mindfulness-based prison work movement —
providing prisoners, prison volunteers, corrections
staff and over 195 PDN-member prison projects and
organizations with the most effective mindfulnessbased tools, training and resources available.
“Prisons present a tremendous challenge to everyone in them. The prison environment makes
peace of mind fleeting at best. Yet, without that ground of inner peace, it is hard to benefit
oneself or others, especially under extreme conditions. However, prisoners who have learned
to meditate in these harsh conditions have found that the mindfulness and inner strength they
develop helps them deal with the obstacles they face on many levels.
For the past twenty years, Prison Mindfulness Institute has developed a reliable reputation
for providing prisoners with the powerful tool of meditation to help them work deeply with
whatever they confront in their lives. I fully endorse and support their noble, compassionate
and steadfast work.”

“The selection of mindfulness
and personal development
material/exercises and
resources was thoughtful and
well structured. I appreciated
the generosity that is infused
throughout the whole program
in both the sense of providing
curriculum resources for
facilitators and believing in the
best possible outcome for those
participating in the training.”
Path of FreedomTM Project
Since launching the POF Webinars in 2009, 644
participants from around the world have completed the
POF facilitator training. The majority of these participants
are volunteers or professionals already involved in
corrections, treatment, or at-risk youth programs of one
kind or another. The Path of Freedom™ is a uniquely
integrated rehabilitation and personal development
curriculum. It incorporates mindfulness training,
cognitive-behavioral training, and social-emotional
learning in a pragmatic twelve-session, experiential
course that can be delivered in a variety of settings and
in various formats.
Inside Path of Freedom™ Programs:
In 2015 we offered four Path of Freedom online trainings,
training a total of 180 people. We will be running three
POF trainings in 2016 and hope to train 200 people.
We held several advanced webinars for POF graduates
and in 2016 we are going to continue to hold advanced
facilitator trainings.
POF Post Release (MA & RI)
Online Interactive Facilitator’s Guide
In 2015, we continued to develop resources for our
interactive, online facilitators website for all Path of
Freedom™ (POF) facilitators. We added 105 new active
facilitators to the site in 2015, bringing the total to 525
POF facilitators. This site provides all the materials,
­­­guidelines, and additional resources facilitators need to
deliver the Path of Freedom™ curriculum. POF facilitators
post reports, blogs and comments about sessions they
deliver, creating a rich collaborative environment and
providing valuable feedback for ongoing curriculum
development.
In 2015, we expanded our Path of Freedom programs at
the Rhode Island Department of Corrections (RIDOC).
We ran two 14-week semesters at men’s medium security
facility with 25 participants each time and an advanced
POF class with 12 participants each time. In the fall
we started a new class for mens in high security with 9
participants . Two 14-week semesters were also run at
women’s minimum with 10 participants each time. The
on-going class for the young men at the Training School
juvenile facility has continued every week since July 2014.
In 2015 classes were offered at the Providence, RI
homeless shelter, Amos House, with 20 plus participants.
It is being offered again in 2016. We also ran the POF
at Haley House and St. Francis in Boston and will be
expanding these programs in 2016.
In Massachusetts, we expanded our group of trained Path
of Freedom Facilitators and now have POF programs in
seven MA DOC facilities and one homeless shelter.
Path of FreedomTM Research:
Ongoing research on our Path of FreedomTM programs
in Rhode Island prisons conducted by researchers at
Brown University, University of Rhode Island and Rhode
Island College has shown significant positive impacts
for participants, including fewer violent and/or negative
behavior incidents, fewer positive drug screens (after
release), lowered state and trait anxiety levels, increased
emotional intelligence, and increased capacity for both
mindfulness and self-transcendence.
“I believe that meditation is a ‘cure’, for lack of a better word, for all of the societal
ills and woes. My heart is warmed to see how the inmates make positive changes
after learning and practicing meditation. Thank you all for the course.”

engaging in discussion forums, sharing resources,
photos, videos, and more.
This site has become a thriving center for prison
volunteers, prison staff, and prisoner families. Here
members can discuss the most relevant prison dharma
issues and network with each other. We send a monthly
newsletter about the community posts and activities on
this site to over 5,000 subscribers. Our active PMI/PDN
community on Facebook now has 6,794 members. We
also have 12,538 followers on Twitter.
Online Network Database
Our searchable online database includes over 195 Prison
Dharma Network member organizations worldwide.
Prison Dharma Network Community
We provide an online community and social network
for our individual and organizational members on our
website at prisonmindfulness.org.
The site is a hub for prison meditation program news
“I am in segregation and trying to keep
my sanity. I’m also looking for a better
way of life by meditation so I won’t be
one of the 90 percent recessive behavior
offenders coming back to prison. I want
to be compassionate and loving to my
family and friends and all those around
me as my spirit paths growing.”
~Prisoner, Books Behind Bars Program
“It is important that we do not forget what happens in our prisons, nor what they are for.
Prisons should not only be focused on punishment, but also on rehabilitation. No one is
entirely evil, for everyone does possess a basic sense of humanity at some level. Indeed we
Buddhists believe that everyone has Buddha nature, the potential to become a Buddha. In our
various communities it is important to ensure that the prison system functions in the interest
of us all.
I am pleased to learn that the Prison Dharma Network [Prison Mindfulness Institute] is working
to support rehabilitation through education and other activities within the prison system. I am
confident that these projects will be of long term benefit both to prison inmates and society at
large and offer my prayers for their success.”
