As the medical director at the Oregon State Correctional Institution for 14 years, Dr. Michael Puerini has cared for the health of thousands of men whose lives have been seriously derailed by their lack of self-control and emotional well-being. He has seen firsthand how their unhealthy emotions negatively affect behavior and physical health.

So what can be done to help inmates promote from within themselves the self-control and emotional well-being that are the keys to a healthy, well-adjusted life? What can be done to promote genuine compassion within the life of the inmate? As a result of observing the behavior of meditating inmates over the past year, Dr. Puerini thinks that he has found an answer.
