Faced with a two-year federal prison sentence far away from her home and family, Collin Ruiz took her Buddhist vows and dedicated her years of incarceration to developing her Buddhist practice. A women's federal prison became her monastery.

Everyone feels trapped or imprisoned at times. Collin reminds us that even when we can't control our circumstances, we always control our outlook and our reactions. Her prison journey shows that shifting our relationship to our situation can be healing, regenerative, and even inspiring to ourselves and others.
