The Mindfulness in Prisons Project was developed to
contribute towards efforts establishing a prison-standard for the
use of mindfulness-based interventions within the Criminal Justice
System. The UK Mindfulness All-Party Parliamentary Group
(MAPPG) produced the Mindful Nation UK Report in October 2015,
the first policy document seeking to address mental and physical
health concerns within the criminal justice system; through the
application of mindfulness-based interventions.
We used anonymised depression anxiety stress scale (DASS)
scores, in willing group participants before, and at the end of the
programme.
We also included a survey of participants at the end of their
programme, for more open-ended feedback and responses on how
they found the training, it’s effects and outcomes for them
individually
