“…Guiding Rage Into Power, or GRIP, as it is popularly known, is a rehabilitation program presently spreading through California's state prison system in part because evidence suggests that it actually works. A 2015/2016 longitudinal Labin-the-Field-Experiment demonstrated GRIP's positive and significant effect on prosocial attitudes (Maggioni et al, 2018). 2 According to managers of the GRIP Training Institute, of the nearly 200 GRIP graduates who have so far been released or received communion, only one has returned to prison (on a drug charge 3 ).…”

There is an urgent need to understand how programming inside prisons can facilitate rehabilitation and reentry processes, especially among men convicted of violent offenses. GRIP (Guiding Rage into Power) is a year-long “Offender Accountability” program presently spreading through the California prison system. GRIP is a group-therapy and trauma-healing program that follows a somatic-awareness-centered model. We use audiovisual data to investigate the sequenced, second-to-second inner workings of what actually constitutes operational excellence in this evidence-based in-prison rehabilitation program. Making use of interaction ritual theory and conversation analysis, we demonstrate how two processes—the diffusion and the redirecting of attentional focus/mood—transpire in GRIP classrooms. The conclusion argues that these two processes may be the “hidden” building blocks, or what is lacking, in countless rehabilitation programs and other social work interventions—both inside and outside of correctional facilities.

“…We expect to reject our Hypothesis 1, that inequality does not affect the level of trust and trustworthiness. While the prediction is clear-cut for second-movers (i.e., inequality in their favor will lead to more trustworthiness), the decision of first-movers will depend upon their altruism and their strategic considerations (e.g., McCabe et al 2003, Bohnet & Zeckhauser 2004, Ashraf et al 2006, Kanegaretman et al 2009, Maggioni et al 2018and Alós-Ferrer & Farolfi 2019. Thus, altruistic firstmovers aiming to reduce the inequality will send less if their endowment is lower than that of the second-mover.…”

“…The first-mover's decision is influenced by several factors and, therefore, a little bit harder to understand. Cox (2004) shows that in a trust game, the first-mover decision whether to send money (and how much) is influenced by both strategic and altruistic aspects (see also McCabe et al 2003, Bohnet & Zeckhauser 2004, Ashraf et al 2006, Espín et al 2016, Kanagaretnam et al 2009, Maggioni et al 2018and Alós-Ferrer & Farolfi 2019. The strategic consideration depends on the first-mover being aware of the second-mover being more likely to return more in the case of inequality resulting in the first-mover sending more.…”

Long‐term imprisonment often results in negative psychological and behavioural effects that hinder effective reintegration into society, exacerbating antisocial behaviour and increasing recidivism rates. In response to a Supreme Court mandate, California, the state with the second‐largest prison population in the United States, embarked on a significant prison downsizing initiative. Designed to help violent offenders develop emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and understanding of victim impact, Guiding Rage into Power (GRIP) is an example of a rehabilitation program expanding within California's state prison system in part because it has generated promising results. Building on previous investigations of the same program, this study evaluates the effectiveness of GRIP in altering incarcerated men's self‐perceptions and observed behaviours, with a focus on trust and self‐control. Employing a mixed‐methods approach, including a qualitative photo elicitation task and psychological scales, data were collected from GRIP and non‐GRIP participants in two California prisons. GRIP participants demonstrated a profound commitment to self‐awareness and transformation, as evidenced by their narratives and photo choices. Differential levels of trust between the two groups also predicted distinct outcomes in the photo elicitation task. While this study has limitations, it underscores GRIP's potential to challenge entrenched identities and foster positive internal changes, paving the way for future research to assess broader program impacts.
