Defusing Tension in 90 Seconds: A Game Changer for Inmates and the Public

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 36:48 — 50.6MB)

Doug Noll says murderers are not born, they’re bred. Today kids revert to what they see around them…violence.

Doug Noll founded the Prison of Peace Project. Noll teaches hardcore inmates how to de-escalate an angry, emotional person in 90 seconds or less.

It’s a skill that we can all benefit from learning in this era of violence.

Hello, this is Robert Riggs taking you inside the crime scene tape in this episode of the True Crime Reporter® Podcast.

Besides telling interesting crime stories, it is also my mission to educate.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know we live in an epidemic of violence.  school shootings, mass shootings at malls and public places, road rage murders, senseless violent acts, and, as I have reported, outlaw motorcycle gangs shooting each other in broad daylight on Interstate Highways.

Some days I think the world has gone crazy.

Doug Noll is here to explain the causes and offer a solution that’s working in prisons.

The California lawyer felt a calling in 2010 to create the Prison of Peace project at the Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, California, the largest women’s prison in the world.
