An unusual program developed in Hawaii
is helping inmates learn new skills,
reconnect with their loved ones and prepare
for life outside the prison walls.
The Restorative Circle Project, which
began at Waiawa Correctional Facility on
the island of O’ahu, brings inmates together
with the people they have wronged
to find ways to repair the harm, explore
forgiveness and make plans for their
transition back into the community. (excerpt)
Your donation helps Prison Fellowship International repair the harm caused by crime by emphasizing accountability, forgiveness, and making amends for prisoners and those affected by their actions. When victims, offenders, and community members meet to decide how to do that, the results are transformational.
