Product Description
The Little Book of Restorative Justice for People in Prison: Rebuilding the Web of Relationships (Justice and Peacebuilding)
The more than 2.3 million incarcerated individuals in the United States are often regarded as a throw-away population. While the criminal-justice system focuses on giving offenders "what they deserve," it does little to restore the needs created by crime or to explore the factors that lead to it. Restorative justice, with its emphasis on identifying the justice needs of everyone involved in a crime, is helping to restore prisoners' sense of humanity while holding them accountable for their actions.
In this book, Barb Toews, with years of experience in prison work, shows how people in prison can live restorative-justice principles. She shows how these practices can change prison culture and society. Chapters include;
- Crime and Criminal Justice
- Restorative Justice
- Reconnecting Community
- Reconnecting Individuals
- Reconnecting Victims and Their Communities of Care
- Reconnecting Offenders
- Reconnecting Offenders’ Families
- Restorative-Justice Practices
- Restorative Practices, Justice, and Prison
- Restorative Living in Prison
Written for readers who are incarcerated, and for all those who work with people in prison, this book also clearly outlines the experiences and needs of this under-represented and often overlooked part of our society.
