We talked earlier about Justice, what is it and what does it mean to us as individuals as well as community members? Today we discuss and share our previous perceptions of Restorative Justice in comparison as to what we know today about what Restorative Justice really is.

Restorative Justice is intentional in its holistic ability to include all involved parties such as the accused, children and or family of the accused, professionals working in the system and courts, the victim and their children and family members…ALL PARTIES.

We know humans on some level want to help other humans so how have we gone from loving thy neighbor to a more me, mine, I action?

Join us as we continue to learn and grow through our real time experiences with the criminal legal system. We have learned a lot these last 15 years and more so the past few years as our work is coming to fruition.
