Scenes of 'Redemption'

What is restorative justice?
Restorative justice seeks to heal the harm caused by crime.
Instead of focusing on retribution, it focuses on rehabilitation.
At its core, it is a process that offers both victims and those who caused harm an opportunity to seek answers and accountability to begin to repair the damage caused by crime.
Learn more from the Insight Prison Project, the Ahimsa Collective, the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding, the Restorative Justice Project at the University of Wisconsin School of Law, the Healing Dialogue and Action organization or the Hawai'i Friends of Restorative Justice.
For more information about victim-offender dialogues or similar programs in your particular state, please contact your state's Department of Corrections' Division of Victim Services.
