Logical Approach Logic Model:

Logical Approach Literature Review: - Dr. Eric L. Garland, a clinical researcher and psychotherapist, notes that “there is mounting empirical evidence of the role of mindfulness [meditation] in reducing stress and improving clinical outcomes across diverse conditions [including] recidivism. - Following up the initial Transcendental Meditation project, researcher Dr. Maxwell V. Rainforth found a major drop in recidivism rates among released inmates who had participated in the program, with a 43.5% reduction in their chance of recidivism. - Finally, in the initial study cited by the two prior articles, Dr. Catherine R. Bleick sampled parolees who had participated in the program, noting a significant reduction in recidivism, especially compared to other programs that aimed to accomplish the same (such as education programs)

Assessment Transcendental Meditation is not significant in reducing prisoner recidivism rates through reduction of stress.

Assessment Upon controlling for other variables (gender, level of school completed, and language spoken at home), Transcendental Meditation was shown to still not be significant in reducing recidivism through reduction of stress among inmates.
