Stoneleigh Fellow Danielle Sered presents Common Justice as an alternative to incarceration process.
The project seeks to foster healing in communities, promote equity and fairness in the delivery of victims’ services, and diminish over reliance on incarceration. The process brings together the harmed parties, the responsible parties (those who committed the crimes), and other community members such as neighbors or family members. These people work with trained facilitators to reach agreements to address the needs of the harmed parties, provide sanctions for the person responsible for the crime, and make things as right as possible for all those involved.
