Formal and informal question and answer periods bring lessons to a personal level. An extensive library is available to hone intellectual capacities and increase the inmate's general knowledge base. Integration therapy serves support individual growth and harmony. Results after one year show that inmates receiving psychological services have significant reduction in insecurity, anxiety, suicidal depression, paranoia, suspicion and resentment, feelings of psychological inadequacy and schizophrenic tendencies. Integration implies the coordination of an entire system around one goal.
Religious values impart a sense of meaning and direction in life.
A religious perspective strings a thread of meaning and purpose through the fragmentary and paradoxical elements of life. Only a genuine religious orientation yields positive effects upon the personality. Prayer, devotion, meditation, and discussions are valuable parts of each day. They form genuine links to the transpersonal. Perhaps even more encouraging, however, are the personal remarks of the inmates and staff we serve.
