Even where convictions are obtained, there is dispute over the measures
that should result. Hauling perpetrators to prison or meting out
strokes of the cane may not always be appropriate for the
circumstances, and will never by themselves do away with sexual
violence. Restorative justice measures such as victim-offender
mediation and mandatory behavioural therapy for offenders may often be
more constructive than purely punitive responses.
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.
