Abstract:

Bo Lozoff is the founder of Kindness House and former director of the Human Kindness Foundation. The foundation practiced interfaith prison ministry and the Kindness House was an spiritual living community for parolees. Lozoff is facing allegations that he sexually abused former program volunteers and parolees and bullied and intimidated other community members. Former volunteers, parolees, Lozoff, Departments of Corrections, and religious studies experts are interviewed and talk about the allegations. Lozoff has decided to close the parole program due to his unconventional sexual behavior, but is still mentoring inmates and actively ministering.
