Prison Program

What is the Prison SMART Program?

Prison SMART Program

“If people get sick, we take them to the hospital and give them the right medicine to get better. If people’s behaviour is sick, we bring them to the prison, but we forget the medicines.” – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

The Mission

The Prison SMART Programme aims to transform the lives of people working in or incarcerated within the criminal justice system. Prison SMART teaches skills that reduce stress, heal trauma and provides practical knowledge of how to handle negative emotions in order to live to one's highest potential and contribute to society in a positive way.

  • So far the lives of more than 3,50,000 prison inmates have been transformed through the ‘Prison Smart’ programs

Basic Premise

The basic premise of the program is that no individual is really ‘bad’ but takes to crime due to external stressors which they are unable to deal with effectively.

Krystale
Inmate
This course has been a very beneficial experience. Emotional, and physical pain have both disappeared, helping me return to the happy, joyful Krystale that I used to be. I am smoking less cigarettes and am no longer relying on iron tablets to re-energize myself.
Karina

The course is life changing and it has done many wonders for me in such a short time. I have found that I haven’t complained about things or anyone. People who have terrible vicious tongues for backstabbing and gossip no longer upset me or play on my mind. My mind is calm and clear. I have quit smoking and look forward to future changes to come. I would recommend this to many of my friends.

I sleep better ,and I am going to continue practice everything learnt here.
Bajram G, (18,Turopolje ,Juvenile)

I came to the course because I wanted to do more with my life. I used to like making trouble fighting. But now I feel the difference in my communication. I am happy.
Juvenile Prison

It was a big cycle. The more I partied, the more drugs I used to take and the more I needed to get high each time.
