Actually, many learned. They had group meds (including TM, ha). A teacher, George Ellis, others later, focussed on prisons for a while. He initited Sonny and a whole slew of others. Prisons have lots of types. But surely not all "cut-throat scumbag rabble". From tales I have heard from TM and AOL teachers, there are an amazing assortment of people, some quite deep and with inner light. Karma -- it hits us all. " "There but for fortune go you or I" I can't "box" up prisoners as a "type". Being in prison has been at times, a mark of valor and fighting the good fight. Gandhi, MLK, many draft resistors in Viet-nam era -- and other wars. it seems those not overtly fighting a corrupt system may be on the wrong side of the walls. I seriously considered prison rather than register for the draft -- which I felt was (or might be-- jeez at 17 I left some doors open) immoral: to require people to kill others (which in those days was a given -- off to nam) And Marek as a defense attorney has shared a bit of his experiences talking with defendees and prisoners. More sharing welcomed. (As long as Sal doesn't get too excited and accelerate her next incarnation -- as Marek -- too soon. (scene: Marek wakes up one morning "Sal, What the F, are you doing here in my body??! Thats NEXT life." Or maybe you were referring to Hell's Angels. Lots of diversity there too, I have been told.
