Compassion Works for All, based in Little Rock, is the only Buddhist prison outreach organization in Arkansas, which has one of the fastest growing prison populations in the country. The non-profit was founded by Anna Cox, a psychotherapist and devout Buddhist, whose deeply compassionate approach combined with her psychoanalytic understanding, became widely sought after, beginning on death row. All of their work within the correctional system is rooted in a theory of change that begins with healing. Staff and volunteers teach concentration and mindfulness meditation techniques; offer a compassionate communication and conflict resolution program; provide talks and readings from Buddhist teachers to encourage community and compassion; correspond with inmates; publish a newsletter; and more, bringing healing and hope to many.
