Özet:
The following is an investigation into the potential benefits of mindfulness and contentment philosophy curriculum for incarcerated people, as delivered by universities. Prisoners are systemically underserved and abused people who deserve opportunities to expand their mental and emotional capacities as part of a restorative approach to criminal justice. Restorative justice proves to be more beneficial than America's predominantly retributive ethos in terms of cost, recidivism, and prisoner experience. This thesis argues for the adoption of a pedagogy that acknowledges the entirety of the person, and thus prioritizes their internal experience differently and sees it as inseparable from their external performance (ex. vocational and academic choices, self-regulatory behaviors). Existing prison philosophy programs and primary school contentment and mindfulness programs are examined in order to identify possible benefits and discuss appropriate application of existing curricula. Situational and cultural considerations unique to incarcerated populations are also explored, along with suggestions for university program development and implementation. Universities are best equipped to deliver such programming, and will need to do so with great critical care. Benefits of contentment and mindfulness programs for prisoners include decreased hostility and rumination, enhanced self-control, empathy, and prosocial behavior, and a perception of life as process-oriented. Further, anticipated improvements for prisoners with certain mental health problems include decreased anxiety (general and episodic), psychological symptoms, depressive symptoms, and addictive behaviors.
