Reduction of Personal Conflict: Through enhanced emotional intelligence and personal problem-solving skills of incarcerated individuals.

Peacemaking: By enabling incarcerated individuals to engage in constructive and non-violent methods of respectful problem-solving to resolve interpersonal and group conflicts.

Capacity-Building: Training the incarcerated to be mentors and facilitators will expand peacemaking skills throughout communities of incarceration.

Sustainability: By working with students to become facilitators, Prison of Peace can continue in the prison/jail environment without outside investment.

Value: In developing an understanding of the power of non-coercive, non-violent methods of conflict resolution by and for incarcerated men and women themselves, correctional officers and prison administrators are able to save significant resources otherwise spent on responding to conflict and further incarceration.

Safety: With productive, non-violent means of resolving conflict, everyone in incarcerated communities is safer, as are the communities to which the incarcerated are ultimately released.

Redemption: Through service to others, transformation is possible, and people can connect with their humanity, regardless of the crimes they committed or where they must live out their lives
