Bioneers Books Behind Bars
“ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO I WROTE TO REQUEST COPIES OF ARTICLES AND BOOKS OF BIONEERS
philosophy and ideas. These books and several papers have been passed around and photocopied to
the point that the books have completely fallen apart. These materials have touched many prisoners
here and in fact they have helped many to become quite concerned about environmental issues and
our connection physically, spiritually and psychosocially. I believe by becoming aware and in tune with
such issues, it gets to the root of reconnecting to people as a sort of ‘rehabilitation.’ Mind, body and spirit. I would be most appreciative if you would please send another copy of the above for our study group.”
– TROY THOREAU, INMATE, PELICAN BAY PRISON, VACAVILLE, CA
“WHAT IS MOST THREATENING TO THE STATUS QUO
Television
is dialogue, because honest dialogue and deep listening require us to change, to give up the rigidity of our opinions for the sacred heart of stories
where we remember who we are and who we are
not. What I would be willing to die for and give my
life to is freedom of speech.”

“THE BIONEERS SERIES MAKES A POSITIVE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THE PROGRAM
introduces us to new ideas being put into practice. We then feel that the dominant paradigm is changing and our planet is breathing a sigh of relief.”

“THE BIONEERS RADIO PROGRAM HAS HELPED US ESTABLISH AN AUDIENCE THAT

insightful program that we can provide to the masses here.”
