According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, over 1.2 million people are incarcerated in the U.S. right now. For 27 years, Felix Rosado was one of those individuals.At the age of 18, Felix was told he would die in prison as punishment for the crime he committed — but the criminal legal system did nothing to ask him to reckon with the consequences of his actions, or make steps towards repair.In this episode, Felix shares how returning to his Catholic faith and learning about restorative justice set him on a journey of taking true accountability, transforming his life, and ultimately gaining his freedom.- - - -Stay connected with Catholic Mobilizing Network and our mission to end the death penalty and promote restorative justice.Sign up to get our emails at catholicsmobilizing.org/joinResources from this episode:Watch Felix's 4-minute mini-doc: youtu.be/xFkal1XvDmk?si=RE0rB3JlBcOa_GPgRead “Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration: A Catholic Perspective on Crime and Criminal Justice” from the USCCB: www.usccb.org/resources/responsibility-rehabilitation-and-restoration-catholic-perspective-crime-and-criminalRead “Fratelli Tutti”: www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/encyclicals/documents/papa-francesco_20201003_enciclica-fratelli-tutti.htmlRead “Transcending: Reflections Of Crime Victims” by Howard Zehr: www.amazon.com/Transcending-Reflections-Victims-Howard-Zehr/dp/1561483338Bureau of Justice Statistics: bjs.ojp.gov/library/publications/prisons-report-series-preliminary-data-release

Confused about the concept of restorative justice? This week, host Dr. Amy Yillik talks with Sorahi Harati, Program Director of the Restorative Justice and Equity Group (RJE) in Bend. The two educators agree that restorative justice is often mislabeled as a misguided approach to discipline, “giving everyone a lollipop” to solve problems. Sorahi explains that, in reality, efforts of this kind involve peaceful problem-solving techniques to fit each situation. Also helpful are proactive restorative practices that preclude harmful interactions in the first place by building community and a sense of belonging.  This episode offers simple suggestions for building circles of communication and teaching students of all ages how they might handle contentious situations. The message to educators: this is a practice that you've probably already begun as a thoughtful, reflective educator.

Aujourd'hui comme hier, tester les règles, voire les transgresser, serait un passage obligé de l'adolescence. Dans le cadre scolaire, comment réagir ? Quelle distinction faire entre punition et sanction ? Quand la sanction éducative vise à responsabiliser l'élève en lui faisant comprendre les conséquences de ses actes et en l'incitant à respecter les règles établies, d'autres formes de sanctions peuvent altérer la relation de confiance entre l'élève et les adultes. Dans cet épisode avec Eirick Prairat, philosophe, et Aurélien Becker, conseiller principal d'éducation, il sera question de réconcilier éducation et sanction, en abordant également le rôle primordial de la prévention et du travail avec les familles, ainsi que les pistes prometteuses de la justice restaurative.Eirick Prairat, La sanction en éducation, Éditions Que sais-je ?, 2021.Eirick Prairat, L'école des Lumières brille toujours, ESF, 2022.  Les inspirations des invités :Daniel Marcelli, Il est permis d'obéir, Le Livre de Poche, 2012. Howard Zehr, La justice restaurative.

Thomas is joined by restorative justice facilitator and public speaker sujatha baliga. They discuss Restorative Justice - a term coined by Howard Zehr that represents a paradigm shift in the way we think about harm and wrongdoing. It calls us to eschew the extreme and ineffective punitiveness of the criminal justice system in favor of community-based processes that align with our interdependent nature.  Sujatha explains how her methods were inspired by three groups - the Mennonites, the Navajo tribe, and the Buddhist Nalanda tradition. She reveals that her work is not only more effective in addressing the root causes of crime, and reducing repeated incidents of harm, but is also planting seeds for a radically more just future. Key Points: 01:48 Sujatha's journey to her advocacy 08:18 Restorative justice vs. the current justice system 11:40 What it means to be well-resourced 16:52 Restorative justice is sustainable 19:57 The factors to facilitate a restorative process 25:56 The responsibility of the oppressed 34:12 Transformation starts within us 37:40 How can communities contribute? 44:25 Addressing collective issues with restorative justice --------------- sujatha baliga's work is characterized by an equal dedication to people who've experienced and caused harm and violence. A former victim advocate and public defender, sujatha is a frequent guest lecturer at universities and conferences about her decades of restorative justice work. She also speaks publicly and inside prisons about her own experiences as a survivor of child sexual abuse and her path to forgiveness. Her personal and research interests include the forgiveness of seemingly unforgivable acts, survivor-led movements, restorative justice's potential impact on racial disparities in our legal systems, and Buddhist approaches to conflict transformation. She's a member of the Gyuto Foundation in Richmond, CA, where she leads meditation on Monday nights. She was named a 2019 MacArthur Fellow.

Each night in the United States, more than 200,000 people incarcerated in state and federal prisons — 1 in 7 prisoners — will go to sleep facing the reality that they may die without ever returning home. In 1996, criminal justice activist and photographer Howard Zehr published Doing Life, a book of photo portraits of individuals serving life sentences without the possibility of parole at a prison in Pennsylvania. The book gave a voice to the human beings in front of the camera lens, revealing their hidden emotions and painting an otherwise-unseen portrait of incarcerated people. Twenty-five years later, Zehr revisited many of the same individuals in his new book, Still Doing Life, co-authored by criminal justice professor Barb Toews. Photographed in the same poses, Zehr and Toews presented two side-by-side photos of each individual along with interviews conducted during the two different photo sessions. The resulting work is sobering tableaux of people who, quite literally, have not moved for the past quarter-century. Together at Town Hall, Zehr and Toews, along with Omari Amili and Freddie Nole, discussed the implications of the American criminal justice system and challenged us to think seriously about the consequences of life sentences. Howard Zehr is a distinguished professor of Restorative Justice at Eastern Mennonite University's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. He is the author of the bestselling The Little Book of Restorative Justice and Doing Life, among other titles. Barb Toews is associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Washington, Tacoma. She is the author of The Little Book of Restorative Justice for People in Prison, and the co-author, with Howard Zehr, of Critical Issues in Restorative Justice. Toews is the editor of the Little Books in Restorative Justice series and lives in Tacoma, Washington. Omari Amili is an author, educator, and father of six from Seattle, WA. With a childhood dominated by chronic instability rooted in his parent's addiction, Omari found himself a product of the school-to-prison pipeline. After serving time on 30 felony convictions for bank fraud, he turned his life around and pursued post-secondary education, climbing from a GED to a Master's degree. Omari's journey is evidence that there can be life after incarceration and he has made it his personal mission to change the narrative and introduce new possibilities for individuals from backgrounds similar to his.

In 1996 Howard Zehr published "Doing Life." The book features photos and stories of men and women serving  life sentences in Pennsylvania prisons. Years later, Zehr partnered with UW Tacoma Associate Professor Barbara Toews on a follow up book. "Still Doing Life, 22 Lifers, 25 Years Later." In "Still Doing Life," Toews and Zehr talked with some of the same men and women featured in the original book. In this episode we talk about the books and the stories of men and women who have spent decades in prison. We also discuss life sentences, restorative justice and how "lifers" keep going and find meaning.

On this episode we welcome Author, Photographer and Restorative Justice Scholar Howard Zehr. This episode is focused on his book Still Doing Life, 22 Lifers, 25 Years Later which is a follow up to a book he published in the 1990's. In addition to the book, we talk to him about the concept of restorative justice, and get some insights into his other projects. A fascinating guest, and after you listen you will want to visit our website for links to all his work. Be sure to listen to the end! Real fans know...

Use of Restorative Justice in criminal justice and its application in other areas have both grown in recent years. Restorative Justice has a focus beyond punishment of offenders that includes the needs of the victims.  In addition to broader use in the criminal justice arena, Restorative Justice has grown in application to include schools, religious institutions, and societies at large.Howard Zehr, a Restorative Justice pioneer, offers these questions to consider if a process is accurately described as Restorative Justice. Are the wrongs being acknowledged? Are the needs of those who were harmed being addressed? Is the one who committed the harm being encouraged to understand the damage and accept his or her obligation to make right the wrong? Are those involved in or affected by this being invited to be part of the “solution?” Is concern being shown for everyone involved? If the answers to these questions are “no,” then even though it may have restorative elements, it isn’t restorative justice.” https://zehr-institute.org/what-is-rj/Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Episode 2 of our new season finds us in conversation with Howard Zehr. Howard is one of the pioneers of the restorative justice movement and his books Changing Lenses and the Little Book of Restorative Justice are well known and required reading across the field. We caught up with Howard during lockdown to have this conversation via Zoom. His wealth of experience and insight was an absolute privilege to listen to, and we hope you enjoy the episode just as much as we did in having the conversation with Howard.

Dr. Howard Zehr is director emeritus of the Zehr Institute for Restorative Justice and a distinguished professor of restorative justice at the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. In this ninth episode, he talks about his path to victim-offender conferencing as a young practitioner, the early days of restorative justice, and where he sees the field going from here.One of Zehr’s formative experiences as a young adult was attending Morehouse College, a historically black men’s college in Atlanta. He was confronted with being part of a “minority” as one of the few white students in attendance.“People just didn’t read me the way I was used to being read. My body language, what I said was interpreted totally different[ly],” Zehr recalls. “It was a profound experience and not an easy one.”It was in the 1970s, while teaching at another historically black institution, Talladega College in Alabama, when Zehr started working with the criminal justice system. He provided support to prisoners and trained student research teams “to help defense attorneys pick juries in really highly politicized cases: death penalty, prison riots, police brutality.”In 1985, Zehr published the booklet Retributive Justice, Restorative Justice, followed by Changing Lenses in 1990, a seminal work in Zehr’s own career and the field at large. He joined CJP in 1996, at the urging of Professor Ray Gingerich and Director Vernon Jantzi.“My self concept is basically a journalist of justice,” Zehr says – communication and networking are foundational to his work. The whole reason he launched the Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series was to make the core concepts of CJP accessible to a wider audience. Zehr pitched the first title, The Little Book of Restorative Justice, to his publisher saying, “I want it to cost about the same as a Big Mac dinner.” Over 100,000 copies of the book have now been sold in a variety of languages.What does he celebrate most about CJP? “We’re still, as far as I know, the only academic program with a practice, a reflective practitioner value-based kind of approach. Which is what we set out to be.”Looking forward another 25 years, Zehr says he likes where he sees the next generation going.“That’s partly why I’m staying out of it,” he says. “A lot of them have a much wider vision about applications – to historical harms, to social injustices – but I don’t want us to lose also some of our focus on things like bringing those who are harmed and those who caused harm in the context of a criminal system together as well … I hope we can hold those things together.”
