Buddhist Inmate Sangha http://nichirenscoffeehouse.net/bis/index.html

Zen Practice for Inmates http://www.engaged-zen.org/
Meditation training as an alternative to conventional sentencing. During the past year a "scholarship" fund has been created to assist serious inmate practitioners in attending a monastic training period on parole or at release from prison. The Engaged Zen Foundation intends to establish a monastic-based alternative sentencing facility where offenders may serve out sentences in a highly disciplined Zendo atmosphere.
