Executive Director for Insight Prison Project (San Rafael, CA)

The Insight Prison Project (IPP) is a community based non-profit organization founded in 1997 and located in San Rafael, CA. IPP envisions a vibrant and just society that inspires individual transformation beyond the walls of both personal and institutional incarceration. It is dedicated to reducing recidivism, preventing re-victimization and serving public safety. IPP creates and conducts effective rehabilitation programming inside the prison at San Quentin, CA, and supports the actual reinstatement of rehabilitation as the core operating principle within the California penal system.

Working in partnership with San Quentin State Prison, IPP conducts 19 weekly classes involving more than 250 prisoners. Classes focus on preparing prisoners to become responsible and productive members of the community when they leave prison.

The Insight approach of three IPP core programs uses the principles of Restorative Justice, Violence Prevention and Mind Body Integration and is designed to generate in participants a durable change of attitude and behavior. This transformational re-education process combines victim impact accountability, emotional competency and intelligence, rational restructuring, and embodied integration. These elements bring about a shift, transforming ingrained patterns of destructive behavior into conscious, life-enhancing choices.

According to a report released by the National Council on Crime & Delinquency (NCCD), prisoners who participated in IPP programs for more than 6 months approach problems in more rational and effective ways. This includes being less likely to: act impulsively, become angry, and attempt to control their relationships through violence.

IPP's annual budget is approximately $600,000, with approximately 60% from foundation grants and the balance from individual donors and earned income.
