   On second thoughts i wonder how this is going to help criminals rehabilitate or say, prevent them from committing crimes again and lead non-criminal lives.

   While it may help first time offenders or circumstantial criminals i wonder if this could be a loophole that professional hitmen/criminal who already have the intelligence and the resources to practice such fitness techniques such as yoga in their daily lives.

   Dilip: The amount of yoga practice one needs to do relative to days cut off sentence is enough so that I think even if it had no psychological effect outside of prison it’s worth it and a good idea, just to better control people inside prison.

   However, I do think for some it will have a good psychological effect. No way to measure this except long term, hopefully someone’s doing some research…
