The National Emotional Literacy Project for Prisoners
At the core of The Lionheart Foundation’s National Emotional Literacy Project for Prisoners is the Houses of Healing Program, a powerful 13-session rehabilitation curriculum (book, facilitator manual, and video series) created specifically for prisoners and the formerly incarcerated. The centerpiece of this program is the book Houses of Healing: A Prisoners Guide to Inner Power and Freedom. Houses of Healing (HOH) is a research driven, trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral, emotional literacy (re)habilitation curriculum designed to offer skillful guidance and equip prisoners with the tools to effectively manage emotions, take stock of and heal the unresolved trauma that often plays a role in propelling criminal behavior, take responsibility for offending behavior, and change life-long patterns of violence and addiction in order to build productive lives.
Houses of Healing is being taught by hundreds of corrections professionals, chaplains, prison volunteers, and increasingly by mature long-term prisoners within prisons, jails and reentry programs in the U.S. and abroad. The program can be used on its own, or to complement other existing prison rehabilitation and counseling efforts such as alcohol and drug recovery, stress and anger management, and life skills development. Houses of Healing has proven successful in group classes, one on one counseling, and individually by prisoners who often have access to the book, Houses of Healing: A Prisoner’s Guide to Inner Power and Freedom, through the prison library.
Many corrections professionals report that Houses of Healing is the most effective program they have seen for prisoner growth and transformation. Many prison chaplains embrace the program because it is infused with an inclusive spirituality. This is particularly the case in multi-faith contexts. Prisoners gain greater self-awareness, the capacity to manage their emotions, empathize with the feelings of others, and increase their spiritual development through, among other things, mindfulness meditation. Thousands of lives are being positively impacted through the guidance and inspiration that this prisoner education and rehabilitation program offers.
The massive prison population is a major national crisis. Taking a proactive stance, Lionheart is committed to playing an integral part in redefining our nation’s prisons as places for healing and positive growth. More than 170,000 copies of the book, Houses of Healing, are in circulation in state and federal prisons as well as larger county jails nationwide. Approximately half of these have been distributed free of charge to prison and jail libraries, prison programs, and individual prisoners nationwide.

This room must be researched before it can be used. (Education)
When a class is scheduled using the Programs system, either inmates who are both qualified and interested in taking the course or guards not having the tazer certification yet will arrive in the classroom to learn, depending on the program. Inmates are rated according to their attendance and concentration level during the course, which will affect their pass chance at the end of the program. Note that each Prisoner or guard requires a School Desk to sit at during the class, and the number of desks may limit the number of inmates enrolled.
For the prisoner programs, Foundation Education Program and General Education Qualification, the Teacher is an external employee who arrives just before the class is to begin and uses the required Desk placed in the classroom to conduct the course. Navigation time for the Teacher to reach the classroom may impact the attendance rating for the inmates enrolled in the class, so make sure there is an efficient path from the classroom to the outside. Both programs will take 3 hours, with the Foundation Education Program being able to be attended by 20 prisoners, while the General Education Qualification can only be attended by 10 prisoners per session.
The only program for guards is the Guard Tazer Certification, led by the Chief. The program is limited to 10 guards per session and will take one hour.
The Classroom requires Education to be researched.
