Unlocking Men I: Men's Circles in Prison.

This paper describes a prison support group program for male offenders. The model was conceived and implemented by voluntary organizations associated with the mythopoetic men's movement. Two similar organizations are described: The Inside Circle Foundation in California and the Jericho Circle Project in Massachusetts. The program offers weekly support groups and weekend intensive trainings. The paper is based on interviews with program leaders and volunteers, and outlines the key program elements and goals. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
