Title Card:
Most prison will not allow victims to meet with their offenders. Title Card: RESTORATIVE JUSTICE is a worldwide effort that encourages victims and offenders to meet. The program forces offenders to give a face to their crime, to feel remorse, and to understand the true repercussions of their actions. Title Card: This year over 700,000 inmates will be released from prison. More than 50% will be re-incarcerated within 3 years. Where Restorative Justice is allowed to work, the re-incarceration rate drops to as little as 8%. To learn more about Restorative Justice, go to www.TakeJustice.org See more » |
