An Alternative Sentencing Program
utilizing the Transcendental Stress Management®  program for Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice Reform

 

Experiences of Graduates of TESP

Probationers report a number of benefits once they have learned the Transcendental Stress Management® program: a decrease or cessation in substance abuse, improved health, reductions in hypertension, better sleep and less visits to the doctor.  They also report a sense of well-being and confidence, a feeling of calm in situations that previously evoked aggressive behavior, and an all-round improvement in relationships, greater success on the job and more peace in the household.  

They cooperate with their probation and parole officer and feel more attracted to educational pursuits.  The positive effects of the TSM program remain with the probationers for varying periods during the day.  They become self-sufficient in their ability to effectively deal with stress and stressful situations in their lives.  As a result, participating offenders are able to reintegrate more smoothly into society and community life afterwards. 

Course completion essays from graduates of The Enlightened Sentencing Project (identities protected) are carried here as anecdotal evidence of the benefits of the TESP as a highly effective alternative sentencing program.
