more more prisons are starting to use yoga as a way to allow
inmates to deal with stress and also deal with
weight issues in their health so I'm one present in New York specifically that
has female
inmates is offering the service to pregnant inmates and I think it's
actually really good idea because there are a lot of benefits to yoga and
meditation
so I just to give you an example what's going on up
on average six to 10 percent old women
are pregnant and these are incarcerated women and
the highest rates are in local jails room you can just hear such a hater
for the site saw anyway and Adam when it comes to the benefits study show
benefits for prisoners mental health
reduce stress and improve patients' mindfulness and reflection
now weighs in my taxpayer money I know we should put them in no cell solitary
confinement stripping naked treated like their
and walls with the gate now I up
I'm a believer in balance okay and and so
I don't believe in the Norwegian system it's got its things but they love to you
know your Walker Rd ru take the load off watch cable all good we did we say
prison I really wish I rebuilt issue
what you have a couple years ago you kill beating people right I remember
with america system where we're
stuff everybody in the jails the hoop commissions are horrible like you said
we
are abusing that solitary confinement to know and it's our
yoga up yeah I and also this is it doesn't primarily happening at it in
female facilities I'm sure there are some male prison to do it as well but of
course it's much more popular female facilities
afterthought no I'm sure to feature aryan nation during your
okay the space so the reason why I think that this is relevant is because all you
hear that their women in prison see automatically assume like oh they must
be in there for something serious so
big baby to you know pay for their crimes well here's the reality:
when a caller three times as likely to be incarcerated
two-thirds incarcerated women are there for non-violent crimes
mainly drug offenses yeah I'm fine with my taxpayer money going toward yoga for
them
goodbye have to deal with the angrier and angrier than they must be feeling
for being thrown in prison for a nonviolent drug offense
I ever conclusion 9k
my conclusion is this I'm the much more angry about my taxpayer money being
spent
to imprison those women in the first place spare you they should be there
they should be free to do yoga
as any one of us can do on our own time that somebody else paying for
pay a button given that to lure the woman there are there for non-violent
offenses and that these
there were seven people in the present on drugs charges which they should never
go to prison the first place
then yes I lean towards let him have the okay let him how whatever they want to
they should be in there in the first place
definitely and by the way another thing let's say that they are there for some
sort of violent crime
and they're not in there for life for whatever that and you want to reform and
you want to rehabilitate them I think the yoga is a really really good way of
doing that
I'm telling you it it really helps you deal with
anger issues for instance but maybe I should you I'm not kidding
it really really work so okay no no look I'm
I'm be a big headed the neanderthal rain every it's good for you and I'm sure
that if it calms them down
maybe it helps you know so prevent more violence in prisons
center I'm sure there are a lot of good reasons for it and if the warden's think
it's a good not good idea there the professionals
and god bless their hearts
