Restorative Justice Project in Prison: Justice in Imbalance

Feb 11

I am delighted about the successful report on NDR about the restorative justice process, which I was able to implement in prisons in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia with employees from the psychological and social services. At the moment I am supporting the team at the Bielefeld-Brackwede prison in preparing for another round of the perpetrator-victim circle based on my concept of "Affected Person-Oriented Work in the Prison System (BoAS)". We are receiving scientific support - that is particularly fantastic!

A question I am often asked: "What exactly is restorative justice?" For me, restorative justice is a way of dealing with conflicts and crimes - towards social peace.
