RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

Everyone wants to feel safe. But with a recidivism rate of over 66%, our criminal justice system completely fails.

"If incarceration actually produced safety, we would have the safest country in human history, but that is simply not what we have. The core drivers of violence are shame, isolation, an inability to meet one's economic needs, and exposure to violence yet we dig people deep into prisons to try and keep them from committing further violence. Incarceration exposes individuals to the exact elements that increase the likelihood that they will go on to harm others."

- Danielle Sered, from Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair.

Fortunately, more humane alternatives to incarceration produce far better results for those harmed, the harmful actors, and the community. One approach with increasing acceptance is Restorative Justice.

Join Elaine, Arnell, and the Naturalistic Support community as we deep dive into this powerful alternative.
