Restorative Justice Network

About Us

The Restorative Justice Network is a private, faith-based organization dedicated and committed to promoting a restorative philosophy of Justice in public policy, society at large and the lives of individuals by educating, facilitating and initiating the restorative approach. The Restorative Justice Network pools the resources of various agencies, organizations and individuals to provide services and support aimed at restoring those whose lives have been impacted by crime. The Restorative Justice Network exists to lobby the legislature and DOC, promote restorative rather than retributive justice in the community, provide a model for comprehensive rehabilitation programs, organize a network of community-based service providers to effectively funnel services, resources, and aid to inmates during their incarceration, in their transition, and as a part of their aftercare. The Restorative Justice Network is exploring new and time-tested strategies for solving the problems associated with crime and retribution. The Restorative Justice Network aspires to be an organic conglomerate of ministries, agencies and non-profit organizations who work together, by networking and providing their respective services, resources and aid to restore lives ruined by crime, providing the opportunities necessary for reformed and promising offenders to successfully transition back into their communities as productive, law-abiding citizens, and promoting a restorative philosophy of justice in public policy, society and the lives of individuals. The purpose of the RJN is to provide and facilitate comprehensive programming and opportunities within the Justice System for the reform and restoration of offenders, their families and their victims. The RJN also provides organizational coordination, structure, support, grants and scholarships, and a non-profit umbrella to independent ministries, organizations, and community service providers to assist them in reaching their goals.
