THE DHAMMA BROTHERS
Join host Fred Craden in conversation about the prison inmates at Donaldson Correctional Facility who enter into an intensive meditation program and dramatically reveal a tale of human potential and transformation
An overcrowded, violent maximum-security prison, the end of the line in Alabama's prison system, is dramatically changed by the influence of an ancient meditation program. Behind high security towers and a double row of barbed wire and electrical fence live over 1,500 prisoners, many of whom will never again know life in the outside world. But for some of these men, a spark is ignited when it becomes the first maximum-security prison in North America to hold an extended Vipassana retreat, an emotionally and physically demanding program of silent meditation lasting ten days and requiring 100 hours of meditation.
