Restorative Justice Pilot Program
We've launched a new restorative justice pilot for young adults. Restorative justice is a victim-centered program in which the offender personally accounts for the harm that has been caused and the parties identify a path to healing for the victim outside of a traditional jail sentence. Existing programs show high rates of victim satisfaction and significant success in reducing future crime.
This pilot program will serve first-time offenders between the ages of 18 and 26 who have been charged with low-level offenses and will be operated through a partnership with NVMS Conflict Resolution Center.
