00:00 and Australia expat Jarvis taught meditation.
00:03 I wasn't excited at all.
00:05 I didn't get much more excited
00:07 than being volunteer in prison,
00:09 the best job I have ever had.
00:12 Jarvis had a 23-year career with ABC Radio eight years ago,
00:17 put Surrey Hills on the market,
00:19 gathered his bags and everything he knew farewell.
00:23 It was achieved.
00:24 Before moving on to the editorial leadership positions
00:27 in Sydney, a reporter with World to Today,
00:31 a senior producer for John Fane in the Melbourne program
00:34 that scored high, there were two clues about their deaths,
00:39 which gave Jarvis something
00:41 that changed his thinking forever.
00:43 Australian journalist, Joe Jarvis,
00:45 returned meditation teacher,
00:48 leading the meditation lessons in Rikers Island,
00:51 one of most famous prisons in America.
00:54 I wanted to explain something me.
00:56 Something would come out
00:58 and suddenly something else would emerge there.
01:01 It was tired.
01:02 Then I found meditation.
01:04 When he first came to New York,
01:06 Jarvis supported meditation with free writing,
01:10 but he fell soon.
01:11 An investigation with a mentor gave him the chance
01:14 to realize what he really wanted to do.
01:16 You will feel who?
01:19 And I said, he is imprisoning people without missing a page.
01:24 Joe Jarvis, Rikers Island meditation teachers
01:27 were not simple.
01:29 It a difficult task to win voluntary rights
01:32 on Island of Rearers and watched for months.
01:34 George Vierno was in the maximum security unit
01:39 and opportunity given here.
01:41 Six feet, three inches, prisoner angel, a great man.
01:46 At the same time, Jarvis is one of the students of Jarvis.
01:50 After a class made,
01:52 angel said to Jarvis that he felt softness in it
01:55 and what this fragility could do inside him.
01:58 Jarvis leads a meditation class on Rikers Island.
02:02 Jarvis says, these men do not want to feel like that.
02:06 Constantly fly or fight.
02:08 They prepare for everything,
02:10 are accustomed to life on the streets.
02:13 And this anxiety and fear have increased in prison.
02:16 I said that the stress is abandoning body.
02:19 Senses become sharper.
02:21 Opinion is better.
02:23 Peripheral vision becomes better.
02:25 Angel wanted to know, will this help me on the street?
02:29 You will not react overly.
02:31 He explained, before you take action,
02:34 you will think this is what makes people go to jail.
02:38 They react very quickly and then something bad happens.
02:42 Another student,
02:43 Gerson meditations twice a day for five months.
02:47 In a visit to Jarvis, after meditation,
02:51 he said to him, too much anger is coming out of me.
02:54 He said he felt more peaceful.
