How do the stories of restoration help heal and give hope to those who have been in prison?
How do collateral consequences compound the cycle of punishment for those who have spent time in jail? What can our communities do to change hearts and minds regarding reentry after incarceration?
Rather than focus on prison sentences, our guests Jerry Blassingame, CEO and founder of Soteria, and Kate Weaver Patterson from Root and Rebound explain that restorative justice supports transformation. We learn that it costs much more to incarcerate as opposed to educate and that true rehabilitation will only occur when there is equity in our legal systems.
