A study of juvenile offenders in Alabama exposed to only a part of the Criminon program, for instance, found a sharp reduction in recidivism – to roughly 10 percent. Of a comparable control group not exposed to the program, the usual 80 percent were recidivist.
A Florida county court judge who visited the Ensenada facility said, “I saw some of Mexico’s worst prisoners, hardened criminals, who had been addicted to heroin for years before this program acting and talking like Eagle Scouts. They had genuine hope and enthusiasm for life. They were winning. I believe every prisoner in America needs the opportunity to experience this technology.”
Because of the men and women who encourage and administer the Criminon program within the corrections system, today there is a way to rehabilitate the criminal – to restore his self-respect and make him into a productive citizen who is, perhaps for the first time in his life, an asset to his community.
Criminon’s past contributions and future potential were summed up by James Jacob, Supervising Detention Officer of the Los Angeles Juvenile Hall where a successful program has been in operation since March 1994. “Criminon is hope,” he said. “It’s something that we’re lacking in today’s society. The results of the program well exceeded our expectations in my unit, and I would therefore recommend Criminon to any corrections facility. I can only see good things coming from it.”
