IPP Needs Your Support!
Insight Prison Project, serving those who are incarcerated since 1997, is being called upon now more than ever to offer our one-of-a-kind highly successful rehabilitative programming.
As California seeks ways to address the state budget shortfall, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has virtually eliminated funds for in prison rehabilitative programming.
At this very moment 300 men who live within the confines of San Quentin are developing behaviors inspired by insight, accountability and compassion week in and week out.
They need your support today! With your help they will become champions for change in their families and in their communities.
To donate, please click on the PayPal link in the left hand column or visit our website's donation page. |

Fall Event a Huge Success!
With over 150 guests in attendance, IPP's first ever Fall Event was a huge success. Keynote speaker Jack Kornfield led the discussion about incarceration, recidivism, and reversing these growing trends. Two of our graduates spoke of their journies through incarceration and toward freedom. A survivor of a violent crime gave voice to her journey as well.
A very heartfelt thanks to Jack Kornfield, the planning committee, and our wonderful table hosts that brought in their friends, family, and colleagues to learn about our transformative work. Table sponsors included the One California Foundation, VanLoben Sels/RembeRock Foundation, the Omnia Foundation, Marin Community Foundation, and a grant from the East Bay Community Foundation. |
