Kimberly Mann is connected with the Collaborative Justice Project (CJP), a demonstration project in the Judicial District of Ottawa-Carleton. As she writes, the CJP began in 1998 under the initiative of the Church Council on Justice and Corrections (CCJC). In this presentation, Mann describes the framework of the CJP in terms of restorative justice: assisting communities and individuals to heal in the aftermath of crime; supporting victims in their needs; and encouraging offender accountability and responsibility. She then goes on to sketch the structures and procedures for handling cases, and she highlights some case experiences to show the value of the project’s work.
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.
