Guiding Rage Into Power
45,365 views
San Quentin is one of the nation's most notorious maximum security prisons. But it is also known for an unusual inmate rehabilitation program. Insight-Out's Guiding Rage Into Power (GRIP) Program offers an in-depth journey into the participants' ability to understand and transform violent behavior, track and manage strong impulses, and replace these behaviors with an attitude of emotional intelligence. The year-long program enables men to "turn the stigma of being a violent offender into a badge of being a non-violent peacekeeper." Not only have many of the men transformed their own behavior, they have become "agents of change," people with skills to defuse conflicts around them. This 5 minute video offers a glimpse into the process.

No, Love is everything.
How can you say, there is no love,
when nothing but Love exists?
All that you see has appeared because of Love.
All shines from Love,
All pulses with Love,
All flows from Love--
No, once again, all IS Love!"-- Fakhruddin Iraki
