….In addition, the bill itself includes a problematic sentencing
enhancement provision that fails to account for the reality that more
time in prisons that are undeniably fraught with race-based divisions
and violence increases rather than decreases hate in offenders. In its
eagerness to condemn hate violence, the bill fails to harness
restorative justice and other community-centered approaches that more
effectively prevent recidivism and focus on repairing the harm caused
to families and communities by hate violence.
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.
