NFWL Promoting Scientology "Second Chance" Prison Rehab - Despite Numerous REJECTIONS

When you see legislation to appropriate prison programs with the inclusion of faith-based substance abuse programs, such as the "Second Chance Act of 2004," (H.R. 4676) there are grave concerns regarding attempts made by Scientology to propose their prison program, on either a medically sound or secular basis.

The National Foundation for Women Legislators, now considered a front group for Scientology, has promoted a prison program, called "Second Chance" that Scientology runs in Mexico. The other program Scientology has tried and failed within the U.S. is their "Criminon" prison drug rehab program. Both of these programs have been rejected in the United States from the outset, as they are devoid of authoritative medical studies to support its "dangerous" and "irresponsible medical" claims.

Taxpayers have a right to know that the teachings of this program are based upon several, identical programs that Scientology uses under various names, which have almost entirely been rejected. The medical and scientific core teachings used in this prison rehab program for example, have been taught to school children by Scientologists in California on a "drug prevention basis," (program name, Narconon) despite rules made by the California Department of Education in 1974, and lacking proper authorization or medical review. In October of 2004 after an intenstive 3-month review, Scientology was banned from teaching this program in several school districts and stands to be banned from the entire state of California. It is clear that this program teaches and applies an irresponsible and dangerous medical program.

Because the program uses excessive vitamins and extensive sauna use, is why Scientology uses "alternative health" in its explanation of being a "natural" program, without drugs - avoiding real medical review. One early attempt by Scientology to have the program tested was considered "unfit for human experimentation." Moreover, all of these programs teach "Scientology" both as mental and alternative health, as approval is sought through legislators rather than state or local departments that deal with accrediting the medical or mental health aspects that makeup the bizarre, ritual program. Funding has been sought repeatedly by Scientology and their programs have been rejected.

The Second Chance Program was first proposed by Arizona Senator and NFWL regional director Elaine Richardson in 2001, as an amendment to House Bill 2563, where community transition programs were being considered by the Arizona Department of Corrections. The Second Chance Program was deemed too expensive and the scientific studies, as well as Scientology teachings within the program were rejected.

The Second Chance program has been rejected twice in the Nevada Assembly. First rejected in 2001, it was rejected a second time when it was proposed by NFWL member and Assemblywoman Sharron Angle in 2003.

In October, 2003 the Second Chance Program was proposed in Erie County, New York. Joy Westrum is a Scientologist, President of the Second Chance Program, and board member of the NFWL (but not a legislator) who proposed the program in Erie County. Information posted on the message board regarding Scientology and L Ron Hubbard's teachings in the program are no longer on the message board. The program was never granted.

Scientology began using the Second Chance Program even though their first program, called "Criminon" still exists. Never has one organization used so many names for the same program, as reputable and credible programs have nothing to hide. Five programs with identical components - being a sauna detoxification and application of Scientology teachings - are being promoted for use in criminal rehabilitation, drug rehabilitation, alternative education, for firefighters, and as an alternative health, body detoxification listed in a Scientology book, sold under the category of "nutrition and dietary." How can this possibly be? The "success stories" are as unbelievable as the recidivism rates have been "misleading."

Please be advised of the various names for the identical Scientology detoxification/purification programs being promoted to legislators:

Second Chance, Inc.

Criminon

Narconon

Purification Rundown
(from the L Ron Hubbard Book)
"Clear Body, Clear Mind"

New York Firefighters Detoxification

Innovations for Education (Utah)


The news media will do justice to report the numerous cases where the glossy Scientology brochures cannot explain it's fraudulent use of others and fraudulent "white papers"


The Second Chance Program, another front group for Scientology's quackery, is listed as: "licensed by the criminal rehabilitation group Criminon International, a child of Narconon International, a drug rehabilitation program of Scientology."

Scientologists, or those trained in Scientology's so-called "technology" - not medical doctors - administer massive dosages of vitamins and dangerous lengths of time in a sauna. All of this, in order to rid the body of "toxins." Written instructions include Scientology "religious studies" for "purification and detoxification."

Removing toxins from the body through purification is a prerequisite for later Scientology study and their deceptive claims of salvation - the understanding that they will be ridding their bodies of dead space aliens, (body thetans.)

" Scientologists believe that most human problems can be traced to lingering spirits of an extraterrestrial people massacred by their ruler, Xenu, over 75 million years ago. These spirits attach themselves by "clusters" to individuals in the contemporary world, causing spiritual harm and negatively influencing the lives of their hosts ". USDJ Judge Leonie Brinkema 4 Oct 96 Memorandum Opinion, RTC vs Lerma

Scientology certainly does not tell victims this fact, as they would not choose to spend massive amounts of money. This is considered a "bait and switch." Consider that Scientology is preparing our citizens in this way, as they interject their beliefs under the guise of alternative mental healthcare. The Second Chance program, or whatever name they use to sell the detoxification, is a way to "cure the world" via Scientology, under a secular ruse. Legislators need not promote this issue any further now that faith-based fraud is upon us.


CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS INTERNATIONAL Established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology to investigate and expose psychiatric violations of human rights

YOUR 'MOMENT OF TRUTH'

Dear friend of CCHR,

I know you would like to do everything possible to back up management's ongoing efforts to clear this planet. A key vector in this strategy is, of course, removing planetary suppression. In a word, that means getting rid of destructive psychiatric programs, treatments and philosophies.

At CCHR International we have a number of plans and projects coordinated to do just that. One of these is to see that the psychs are "...deprived of their unearned millions in appropriations..." (see "The Fight for Freedom" in the recent Ron Mag, Freedom Fighter). A terrific opportunity has just arisen that will help us do just that. There is an organization called the National Organization of Women Legislators (NOWL), and as the name implies, this group is made up of top woman legislators from local, state and the Federal Government. Senators, governors, congresswomen and others are members of this group.

They meet periodically and hear from speakers that they consider have issues of importance for their group. Their last conference drew 800 attendees. Their President recently called CCHR and asked if I would address their next meeting. Needless to say, I accepted.

This is a magnificent opportunity for CCHR to get its message delivered directly to some of the top policy makers in this country.

As with all such projects, energy is needed to make this fly. I want CCHR to become a member of this group so we can get our message out to this very important public on an ongoing basis about what psychiatry is doing to our schools, our courts and our civilization as a whole.

The meeting that I have been asked to address is in Washington, D.C. on February 4th. We need $l0.000 to become members of this group and to cover travel and lodging expenses associated with the conference. Ideally, I could bring others to help enlighten the numerous opinion leaders that will be at this conference. I will only be able to do this with your help.

Two years ago we started a similar project with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). ALEC is a national organization made up of legislators from every state as well as some federal legislators who meet and draft "model Legislation" for every state. The bean return for that has been enormous! CCHR has worked its way up the conditions at ALEC and recently got an article published by ALEC in opposition to mandated mental health parity which went to key state legislators who deal with health issues in their respective states. In addition, the ALEC membership has opened the door to meeting numerous legislators and other opinion leaders from around the country and enlightening them on psychiatric fraud and patient abuse.

These kinds of comm lines are invaluable and having the opportunity to expand them to the members of the National Organization of Women Legislators is one we really do not want to pass up. Our target for the year 2000 is coming fast. We need these comm lines badly, and I'm asking you to help us with your financial support. We urgently need your tax-deductible donation in the amount of $500 or above! For every person who contributes $1000 or more, a personal commendation will be written from myself to your ethics files.

This is your 'moment of truth'. Come the year 2000, I would like to be able to say that you helped CCHR carry out LRH's intentions as above. We need this now! Joining this organization and attending this upcoming conference will open numerous doors for CCHR to cut psychiatric funding in the coming years.

DO THIS TODAY!

Best
Bruce Wiseman
President, National Office

"There are a lot of opinions out there as to what is wrong with Earth, 1995. But if you really want to eliminate those problems all you have to do is work for the objectives that we, as members of the IAS, have set for the year 2000: Objective One - place Scientology at the absolute forefront of Society. Objective Two - eliminate psychiatry in all its forms. Let's get rid of psychiatry, and let's bring Scientology to every man, woman and child on this planet."
