ZCOC
Prison Project ZCOC responds to requests from prisoners for zafus, instruction materials, readings and books. Our practitioners become regular correspondents or pen pals, if requested, and offer encouragement in practice. We visit those who are in half way houses here in Orange County. The prison project meets the 3rd Sunday* of every month from 2 pm to 4:50. Dates for 2010 are: Jan. 17, Feb. 21, *Mar. (no meeting), Apr. 18 (during Zazenkai), May 16, June 20, July 18, *Aug. 22, Sept. 19, Oct. 17, Nov. 21 and Dec. 19 *exceptions Background note: For three years ZCOC led
a weekly Zen group at Donovan Penitentiary.
Due to the death of our sponsor, Chaplain Ron Chiasson, an increase in our commuting distance, and frequent lockdowns,
we discontinued our active involvement in the program.
We continue to be in regular correspondence with many of the men in the
group. For a talk on privatizing prisons by Rev. Dr. Deborah Barrett click here. For a talk on the death penalty, click here.
We appreciate donations to cover postage, supplies and to purchase new and used
books.
