Covid-19 changes

Running programs in prison requires constant flexibility, adaptability and creativity.  Well, the past weeks have required an unprecedented measure of these!  

Everything into which Brilliance Inside pours its passion and commitment came to a screeching halt on March 17th, as CDCR (rightfully) closed all prisons.

Since then, we've been pivoting!

Within days of my return from Thailand, the prison reached out to a few organizations asking for resources to support the prison residents who suddenly find themselves with nothing.  No education, no programs, no self-help, no religious services, no visits, no yard, no packages.  Most things that bring meaning and direction into their lives has been stripped.

So, we're scrabbling to create completely new resources that can support the prison residents especially under these unique circumstances.  You'll find details below.

While our work with the prison residents will look different in the coming months, we are up for the challenge.  Thanks to our constant desire to heal our society's cycle of violence by expanding the brilliance in our prisons and world, nothing will hinder our commitment to these "leading experts on confinement."  We'll shift, adapt and experiment towards the innovative solutions that serve the residents, the system and our society at large.

As you also pivot and adapt in your own lives, we send you and your family much health and wellbeing.
