A new study says four San Quentin programs help criminal offenders become productive members of society when released from prison.

The findings focused on San Quentin’s Victim/Offender Education Group, Violence Prevention, Brother’s Keeper, and Yoga programs. They were studied by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. The programs are a part of the Insight Prison Project, launched in 1997.
