These new inquiries are specified as third generation/wave of cognitive-behavioral therapies. There are a few, main, empirically established therapeutic methods which belong to this stream, and among them those covered by this article, methods based on mindfulness. The purpose of this elaboration is to present the possibilities and potential benefits of using mindfulness in work with inmates. The article includes a theoretic analysis and a review of research on the effects of such programs in the population of prisoners, pointing out several areas where their application seems to be totally justified and empirically confirmed.
