What if crime was defined as a violation of human relationships and justice required the repair of harm?  

What if incarceration enabled the perpetrator to take full responsibility for repairing the harm they caused to the victim, the community, and themselves? 

What if Courts and Corrections were trauma-informed and trauma-responsive? 

Restorative Way can make this a reality

"Are we safer because of mass incarceration? Do long sentences deter re-offending? Do prisons rehabilitate criminals?
With 50% recidivism, exponential budget growth and disproportionate minority impact, I submit that the answer is a resounding, “No!” Prison is the clear, simple and wrong solution to the complex problems of crime and public safety."

Pete Lee, Colorado State Senator, Restorative Justice Advocate
