Programmes

Using design teams sourced from across the globe, PFICJR creates restorative justice programmes for use in the justice and corrections settings.

Communities of Restoration (APAC)
Communities of Restoration (COR) are 24-hour, 7-day-a-week intensive prison regimes operated by Prison Fellowship NGOs. They are designed to reduce offending behaviour through character-focused, faith-based programming.
Sycamore Tree Project®
A faith-based programme that brings victims into prisons to meet with "unrelated" offenders. The groups discuss together issues related to crime and its consequences.
RJ City (sm)
Help build RJ City.
UN Initiatives
A multi-year project to urge UN adoption of international guidelines for countries seeking to incorporate restorative responses to crime into their justice systems. In July 2002, the UN Economic and Social Council endorsed the Basic Principles.

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
