A conference on Mindful Justice took place in September 2015 that “brought together the pioneers of mindfulness-based programming in the criminal justice system, as well as teachers, researchers, and policy-makers with an interest in this work, to explore how we can establish a shared vision for system-wide transformation drawing on the principles and practices of mindfulness…This moment is a particularly ripe one for catalyzing fundamental change in the American criminal justice system.”
The following is a link to a paper from the conference that provides details about the breadth of mindfulness programs within the criminal justice system.
