Meditation
Class Helps Lower Violence
|
|
 Deep inside an overcrowded Alabama prison with a
reputation for mayhem, convicted killers, robbers and rapists gather
in a small room. Eyes closed, they sit silently with their thoughts
and consciences.
Their
everyday life is just outside in the hall - a cacophony of clanging
steel doors, yelling and feet shuffling along cold concrete floors.
The noise never really ends; peace is at a premium in Alabama's
toughest lockup.
Despite
a history of violence at the William E. Donaldson Correctional
Facility, which is named for a slain corrections officer, the prison
outside Birmingham has become the model for a meditation program that
officials say helps inmates learn the self control and social skills
they never got in the outside world.
