Restorative Justice
Prison Fellowship national organisations see the restorative justice paradigm as a way of improving the justice systems in their countries by serving victims, offenders and the community.

Advocating for Reform
Justice reform does not happen in a vacuum and many partners are needed in the work. For this reason, PF national organisations in Latin America sponsor justice reform seminars and training sessions on a variety of topics including restorative justice, human rights and best practices in prison. They are also working with their governments through various justice reform mechanisms.

Legal Assistance
PF national organisations are serving poor prisoners who cannot afford a lawyer or the payment of their fines through the provision of legal and other assistance.

Communities of Restoration
Brazil is home to the APAC-methodology that inspired the Communities of Restoration programmes being implemented around the world. Several Latin American national organisations have taken on the major task of implementing this holistic and intensive programme.

Sycamore Tree Project®
Recognizing the needs of crime victims for healing and the need of offenders to take responsibility for their behaviour PF national organisations are implementing the Sycamore Tree Project®. This in-prison restorative justice project brings together unrelated victims and offenders to discuss the impact of crime.
