Addressing the Problems Which Led to Criminal Behavior
Criminon addresses an individual’s problems which led to criminal behavior and which can send a person back to prison again and again. For each problem area, the Criminon program has a separate section of instruction.
“It is application of the principles taught that makes the difference,” said Tammy Terrenzi, Criminon’s executive director. “By an individual’s direct utilization of the precepts learned on the section of the course involving The Way to Happiness, for example, he learns not only how to behave ethically and morally, but why he should. This understanding makes true reform possible and has given Criminon the success it now enjoys.” Other Criminon courses include:
- Learning Improvement. A large percentage of inmates are illiterate, and this course in study skills teaches the ability to learn any subject. Literacy is fundamental to vocational or other training that will enable a reformed criminal to make a living from his own production.
- Communication Tools. Communication exercises taught on this course increase a person’s ability to face life and not withdraw from it—the very act that preceded and precipitated the criminal condition.
