Why root-cause rehabilitation?

      Root-cause rehabilitation focuses on the causes of an inmate’s criminality. It addresses four essential factors that are often difficult to achieve within prison rehabilitation programming.

     Current prison rehabilitation efforts range from academic and vocational training to re-entry and life skills counseling to spiritual initiatives conducted by faith-based and community organizations. All good. 

     Root-cause rehabilitation strengthens, not replace, prison rehabilitation programming. Adding root-cause rehabilitation benefits inmates through greater self-awareness, personal accountability, emotional control, and a better understanding of the thought processes behind their destructive behavior.

     In additions, root-cause rehabilitation benefits prisons through improved institutional stability, reduced conflict, increased program engagement, and safer interactions between inmates and staff. Communities also become safer through reduced recidivism.

    The Kronos Project, Kronos Choices, and Kronos Short Reads are three categories of root-cause rehabilitation tools that help inmates examine the emotional patterns connected to their criminality.

     Explore these categories. Examine their tools. Consider adding Kronos’ root-cause rehabilitation tools to your current prison programming.
