Administrators of the Chikushi Shojo-en, a correctional institution for juvenile girls in Fukuoka City, report success in their rehabilitations programs that use meditation techniques borrowed from the American “Mindfulness” method. The program was implemented with the cooperation from researchers at Kyushu Sangyo University, which has also used the program. The administrators say the girls have an improved sense of self-discipline, and hope that it will stay with them after their release.
