Podcast Overview

Prison Yoga Project seeks a cultural shift toward a healing-centered approach to addressing crime, substance use disorder, and mental illness. We honor the human dignity of all people impacted by punitive incarceration by offering trauma-informed yoga and embodied mindfulness to heal trauma and cultivate resilience. Prison Yoga Project Podcast stands at the cross-section of social justice, education, activism, and yoga. We host interviews with yoga facilitators, addiction counselors, mental health professionals, neuroanatomists, formerly incarcerated people, correctional officers, wardens, judges, lawyers, professors, and more. As we continue to shine a light on all parts of our society that lurk in the shadows, we become aware of where we are complicit.

Beyond the Bench with Judge Dan Healy: Utilizing Intercepts for Transformative Justice

<p><strong>“ Transformational and inspirational.” “ Wow, that was absolutely amazing and inspiring”</strong> are a few things we have heard about this week's episode so far! If you’re feeling defeated this week, this podcast might just be the healing salve you’re looking for.</p><p>During our time together, we explored the possibilities within the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM) to create a justice system that centers healing and community. We had the privilege of hearing Honorable Judge Dan Healy's story of how he began and was led to study and practice law. We heard how justice can shift from a punitive approach to one focused on human connection and dignity and by rethinking decision points in the system—whether at initial hearings or through community partnerships—we uncovered ways to address the root causes of behavior, offering paths toward rehabilitation and accountability rather than punishment.</p><p>We discussed partnerships in supporting whole-person care, from mental health to housing services, and why trauma-informed practices are essential for building trust and community resilience. Judge Healy’s insights reveal how collaboration between courts, community services, and the individuals involved can lead to meaningful, long-term change.</p><p>Join us in our healing-centered movement!</p><p><strong>Honorable Judge Dan Healy</strong></p><p>Judge Dan Healy has served on the Solano County Superior Court bench since 2010, presiding over felony, Mental Health, and Veterans’ court calendars. His career is distinguished by his commitment to expanding treatment-based responses within the criminal justice system, including serving on several judicial education committees. Judge Healy is a board member of the California Association of Collaborative Courts and has organized presentations on integrating wellness practices like yoga and breathwork into court settings. He is currently completing a 200-hour trauma-informed yoga certification with the Prison Yoga Project. Prior to his judicial career, Judge Healy was a criminal law specialist and prominent attorney in the Bay Area for 24 years.</p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p><strong>Prison Yoga Project Yoga Teacher Training:</strong></p><p><a href="https://community.prisonyoga.org/courses/yoga-social-justice-and-leadership-a-200-hour-yoga-teacher-training/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://community.prisonyoga.org/courses/yoga-social-justice-and-leadership-a-200-hour-yoga-teacher-training/</strong></a></p><p><strong>Whole Health, VA Website:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.va.gov/wholehealth/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.va.gov/wholehealth/</a></p><p><strong>Rat Park:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.ukat.co.uk/blog/medicine/what-can-the-rat-park-experiment-teach-us-about-addiction/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ukat.co.uk/blog/medicine/what-can-the-rat-park-experiment-teach-us-about-addiction/</a></p><p><strong>Intercept Model:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/criminal-juvenile-justice/sim-overview" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.samhsa.gov/criminal-juvenile-justice/sim-overview</a></p><p><strong>Nikki Myers- Yoga 12 step:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.y12sr.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.y12sr.com</a></p><p><strong>Humane Prison Hospice Project:</strong></p><p><a href="https://humaneprisonhospiceproject.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://humaneprisonhospiceproject.org/</a></p>
