ZCOC Prison Project 

ZCOC responds to requests from prisoners for zafus, instruction materials, readings and books.  Our practitioners become regular correspondents or pen pals, and offer encouragement and support in practice.  We visit those who are in jail, half way houses or other facilities here in Orange County if requested.

The prison project meets the 3rd Sunday of every month or during intensives and community work days.

Background note: For three years ZCOC led a weekly Zen group at Donovan Penitentiary.  Due to the death of our sponsor, 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.
