Amma Writes U.S. Prisoners
Circle of Love Inside is Amma’s Prison Outreach, one of her humanitarian activities. Amma calls all people her children, regardless of their address. In Circle of Love Inside people inspired by Amma write letters to her children incarcerated in the U.S. In June 2008, through this program, Amma herself blessed with a beautiful message the inmates to whom her children write and those waiting for letters.

This portrait of Amma is done from memory by a California inmate named Martin Bibbs. He has given us permission to use this piece of art. It's title, as you see, is "The Freedom She Releases in Us." This potrait was composed from his memory of a calendar photo. The calendar was taken from Martin.
Amma’s compassion inspires all of us to open our hearts.
