WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE?
Restorative justice is not an easy way out. It requires ongoing passion, commitment, determination, knowledge, and community and justice system partnerships. These contribute to working toward empathy, forgiveness and healing. All parties involved must be willing to actively engage in this process. There are times when people need to be incarcerated for the protection of the community. Prisoners should be provided with programs and opportunities to accept responsibility for their actions and to acquire skills to function in society. The relationships that our volunteers make with present and former prisoners can provide them with a sense of care and hope, as well as a model of a wholesome approach to life. • HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED WITH THE WORK OF RJM? We have opportunities for volunteers in all our ministries, as well as administration and Advisory Committee involvement. We can only move forward with your prayers, participation, and financial support.
