Awards & Recognitions
Thousands of local, state and international awards and recognitions have been presented to Mr. Hubbard for his humanitarian work, including his breakthroughs in the fields of drug rehabilitation, criminal reform and education.
With reduced recidivism rates common among Criminon graduates, the program is taking effective measures to return to our communities not hardened criminals primed to commit further anti-social acts, but truly rehabilitated men and women who are able to contribute to the improvement and productivity of society.
Just one example amongst many is Leeuwkop Prison—the notoriously ruthless maximum-security facility outside Johannesburg, South Africa. Following the implementation of Criminon—the rehabilitation program based on L. Ron Hubbard’s breakthroughs in the field—cellblock violence was all but eliminated. In acknowledgment of the astonishing impact of Mr. Hubbard’s technology, Leeuwkop inmates presented him with the following award, inscribed in part: “You have brought hope to the lives of many. You have changed our South African prisons of pain and sorrow to places of hope and life.”
“You have brought hope to the lives of many. You have changed our South African prisons of pain and sorrow to places of hope and life.”
In yet another prison, equally astonishing results prompted Panama’s Chief of Internal Security to bestow an official recognition upon L. Ron Hubbard for “his helpful humanitarian work and functional spiritual technology which is helping every person in the custody of the Centro Femenino de Rehabilitacion Cecilia Orillac de Chiari Prison, as well as creating new families.”
