Imagine being sent to prison for a 20 year sentence for a crime you did not commit.  Imagine the joy when 5 years later, the State Supreme Court overturns the conviction.  But also acknowledge that the things you saw and experienced while incarcerated make you aware that there can be a better way.  That's George Martin's story as he discusses the possibility of utilizing restorative justice to resolve perceived problems in our justic system.  George worked with both the Presbyterian Church and the Lutheran Church to develop such mediation programs and is well versed in the academic studies on the topic.  To learn more, check out the National center for Restorative Justice / Vermont Law School, SaferSanerSchools.org, and RestorativeJustice.Org.  #restorative justice #justice system #forgiveness #faithwalking #mediation
