Caring for Ex-Prisoners in Namibia
Prisoners leaving prison face many challenges such as disconnection from life in their communities; estrangement from family members; lack of job skills; and scars from their imprisonment. To help ex-prisoners successfully overcome these challenges, PF Namibia created a halfway house programme to serve as a residential rehabilitation programme for ex-prisoners.

What is restorative justice?

Restorative justice is a theory of justice that emphasizes repairing the harm caused or revealed by criminal behaviour. It is best accomplished through cooperative processes that include all stakeholders.

Practices and programs reflecting restorative purposes will respond to crime by: (a) identifying and taking steps to repair harm, (b) involving all  stakeholders, and (c) transforming the traditional relationship between communities and their governments in responding to crime. more
