For a look at the role of volunteers in restorative justice, Kaleidoscope of Justice talked with Kay Pranis, Restorative Justice Planner for the Minnesota Department of Corrections for the past 7 years. Her work includes teaching the principles of restorative justice and assisting those who want to establish restorative justice programs in the community. Much of her focus these days is on Circles, programs that bring community members together to be present with victims and
offenders as they work through the issues that result from crime. Author’s abstract.
