Re: “Richmond City Jail Abruptly Ends Its Much-Praised Yoga Program”
For me, this serves as a reminder that 'corrections' in this land tend to be mostly punishments. Very evident that Mr. Norris had done nothing to threaten anyone, unless of course healing and compassion along the lines of a disciplined and self-empowering meditation practice is a threat. In that case a threat to whom??? How many absurdities must we endure before accepting that 'corrections' do not come from above but only through the heart n soul of the perpetrators??? Beyond a civil rights issue, the incarcerated of today will be returning to town day by day, and it is our responsibility to do everything in our means to help them stand strong. Dr. Scarbrough must be held accountable for this injustice.
