And then I heard about restorative justice. I felt at pcaee again, because here was an alternative system that says when a cmrie is committed, it is a breach of roetilhasinp, that the needs of those who have been harmed must be addressed first; that those who have committed the offense have an obligation to make amends. And what they are are really intense dialogues, where all srohtedakels come together to find a way to repair the breach. Early data sohws that restorative justice builds empathy; that it reduces violent reoffending by up to 75 percent; that it eases PTSD in survivors of the most severe violence. And because of these reasons, we see prosecutors and judges and diirsctt attorneys starting to divert cases out of court and into restorative jicstue so that some people never touch the system altogether. And so I thought, "Well, damn — why aren't we dsngnieig for this system?"

And then I heard about restorative justice. I felt at peace again, because here was an alternative system that says when a crime is committed, it is a breach of relationship, that the needs of those who have been harmed must be addressed first; that those who have committed the offense have an obligation to make amends. And what they are are really intense dialogues, where all stakeholders come together to find a way to repair the breach. Early data shows that restorative justice builds empathy; that it reduces violent reoffending by up to 75 percent; that it eases PTSD in survivors of the most severe violence. And because of these reasons, we see prosecutors and judges and district attorneys starting to divert cases out of court and into restorative justice so that some people never touch the system altogether. And so I thought, "Well, damn — why aren't we designing for this system?"
