The Enlightened Sentencing Project has achieved the greatest reduction in recidivism from any rehabilitation program. Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court, The Honorable Stephen Limbaugh Jr. says "Having learned TM myself, I can personally attest to its great value." It helps reduce recidivism, mobilize the latent reserves of the brain, and reduce drug and alcohol abuse. The body's cravings for drugs are satisfied in a beneficial way by natural meditation. People who do not know how to release stress naturally may turn to external substances to accomplish this.
