CRIMINON

Decades of growth of America’s prison population has brought the nation to a sobering threshold: one in every 180 adults in the United States is now confined behind bars. The total prison population is , the highest number in the world. The cost of maintaining the US prison system topped $ in 2023, up from $ in 1987. The figures speak for themselves. And considering the recidivism rate, there is desperate need for a workable technology that delivers true and lasting rehabilitation of offenders who can become productive members of society.

The Criminon program is reversing the trend by rehabilitating offenders and returning them to society with life skills that enable them to lead productive lives rather than waste away behind bars.

Today, Criminon has reached more than prisons and correctional facilities worldwide, where over inmates have taken part in the program.

In country after country, wherever the Criminon program has been instituted, government and prison officials have seen dramatic drops in recidivism rates—even among the most hardened criminal populations.

• In the maximum security Leeuwkop prison in South Africa, after inmates participated in the Criminon program the number of violent incidents dropped from 1,000 a year to just one.
• In Karachi, Pakistan, recidivism rates among inmates in the city’s central jail who completed Criminon courses astoundingly dropped below 1 percent.
• A year and a half after Criminon courses were officially adopted by the Mexico City Penitentiary System, recidivism rates plummeted to 1 percent. The program has now reached more than 14,000 offenders across that country.
