Organize A Community Partnership Council
in your city to practice
Restorative Justice
-
Increase awareness and understanding
-
Reduce crime and recidivism
-
Assist victims, offenders, and their families
-
Facilitate a seamless re-entry plan
-
Promote a positive relationship between law enforcement and the community
-
Build working partnerships with churches, local government, parole, probation, business, and community service organizations.
The United States government has funded Faith-Based and Community re-entry programs like Ready4Work. Prison Fellowship has funded the Faith-Based InnerChange Freedom Initiative prison re-entry program. Other ministries have made a tremendous impact into prisons and jails with Welcome Back ministries. Even local judges are using technology to partner with the faith community for probation. Technology from Restorative Justice Community is used in all of these programs.
These pioneering programs have proven that we can significantly reduce recidivism and crime in our cities. Unfortunately these programs combined address less than 1% of the need.
You can increase public safety by reducing crime and recidivism in your community!
We can provide you and your city with the technology, best practices, tools, experience, and expertise to operate a comprehensive citywide initiative - a Restorative Justice Community for your city. The focus is a Community Re-Entry Center and is facilitated with a Resource Directory, Referral Network, Collaborative Mentor Caseworker, and more.
