After being brutally mugged
my 15-year-old brother was
happy to hear his attacker
was behind bars. As far as
Gary was concerned, he
never wanted to see the man’s
face again.
It was then with some trepidation that
Gary, and the rest of the family,
decided to meet the offender face to
face at a Restorative Justice conference. (excerpt)
