Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters
Posted: Thursday, March 30, 2006
Web Site: http://www.catholicbigbrothers.org/
For nearly 80 years, Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters (CBBBS) has matched youth between the ages of 7 and 18 with volunteer adults who serve as role models, friends, and mentors. Founded in 1925, CBBBS has developed a broad spectrum of programs and services over the years that focus on the needs of these children, who are living in mostly single-parent families due to divorce, separation, or death. Deaf/hard of hearing programs, school and site based programs, and group mentoring programs are just some of the variety of services CBBBS offers. But the adult volunteers are the backbone of our programs, helping each child one at a time and making a difference that lasts a lifetime.
In 1946, Catholic Big Brothers joined forces with similar organizations and formed Big Brothers of America. There are now more than 500 affiliated Big Brother Big Sister agencies nationwide that mentor at-risk youth. Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters has evolved over the years into a secular organization serving children and volunteers of all faiths and backgrounds.

Changing Lenses: A new focus for crime and justice
Posted: Monday, April 10, 2006
Crime victims have many needs, most of which our criminal justice system ignores. In fact, the justice system often increases the injury. Offenders are less ignored by this system, but their real needs for accountability, for closure, for healing: are also left unaddressed. Such failures are not accidental, but are inherent in the very definitions and assumptions which govern our thinking about crime and justice

At first, writes Annalise Acorn, restorative justice ideas and practices appealed greatly to her. She had deep misgivings about criminal justice as commonly conceived and applied; especially, as she puts it, with criminal justice as a ?conflation of justice with punishment as imprisonment ? or as any pure infliction of suffering on the wrongdoer.

Criminology, Conflict Resolution and Restorative Justice
Posted: Thursday, April 13, 2006
Web Site: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0333761456/002-8807915-1014444?v=glance&n=283155
This collection explores the intersection between criminology, conflict resolution and restorative justice. It traces the role of criminological discourses in the resolution of conflict at the macro political level (in South Africa and Northern Ireland) and the micro level in settings such as local communities, indigenous justice systems and in the youth justice system. The resulting discourse, drawing upon peacemaking criminology, human rights and restorative justice frameworks, suggests an important symbiosis between the traditionally distinct disciplines of criminology and conflict resolution peace studies.

Web Site: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005JNG7/qid=1090426154/sr=1-5
This rigorous and stylish documentary delves into the 2002 actions by former Republican governor of Illinois, George H. Ryan, after an investigative journalism class at Northwestern University proved that three men on Illinois' death row were innocent. The question is whether the legal system can keep an innocent man from being condemned to death. The debate is by no means simple, and "Deadline" presents a balanced picture ? interviewing lawyers, anti-death penalty advocates, politicians and men who've been released from death row. The DVD can be ordered online through Amazon.

Decade of Reform: Felony Disenfranchisement Policy in the United States
Posted: Thursday, October 26, 2006
Web Site: http://www.sentencingproject.org/pdfs/FVR_Decade_Reform.pdf
This report, published by the Sentencing Project, discloses that since 1997, 16 states have implemented policy reforms that have reduced the restrictiveness of these laws, and more than 600,000 people in seven states have regained their voting rights. The report also states:
- U.S. disenfranchisement laws remain among the world's most severe despite public opinion polls showing 80% support for restoring the vote to those who have completed their sentences.
- During this year alone, 73 bills on felony disenfranchisement were introduced in 22 states and 85% of these initiatives sought to expand voting rights.
- More than 5 million Americans still will be banned from voting this Election Day; three quarters of those banned - 3.9 million - are living in the community.
- An estimated 1 in 12 African Americans is disenfranchised, a rate nearly five times the rate of non-African Americans.

This study was prepared by Legal Services for Prisoners with Children and funded by the California Endowment.

The Forgiveness Project works with grassroots projects in the fields of conflict resolution, reconciliation and victim support. At a time when scenes of atrocity, conflict and crime fill our TV screens and newspapers, when tit-for-tat killings, attacks and counter-attacks seem to grab all the headlines, the Forgiveness Project aims to tell the quieter, less publicised stories of reconciliation. The stories of people who have discovered that the only way to move on in life is to lay aside hatred and blame. Set up by a small team working purely independently with no religious or organisational affiliation, The Forgiveness Project consists of a touring exhibition that will build on an evolving collection of narratives.

Free programs -- including counseling, education, tattoo removal, job training and job placement -- enable young people to redirect their lives and provide them with hope for their futures.

Justice for Murder Victims is a service of VOCAL (the Catina Rose Victims of Crime Assistance League) Foundation, an IRS recognized non-profit foundation. It is action-oriented. First incorporated in 1985 to serve victims of homicide, it became a foundation in 1995 to serve all crime victims.Harriet Salarno founded Justice for Murder Victims in 1979 after the murder of her daughter Catina. Harriet organized the group with three premises in mind: to help survivors cope with the tremendous grief, ensure that the rights of victims are not ignored within the judicial system and to bring about change that would make a balanced justice system. Justice for Murder Victims is affiliated with VOCAL: the Catina Rose Victims of Crime Assistance League. This organization is dedicated to serving all victims of crime, both juvenile and adult. To this end, VOCAL and Justice for Murder Victims have been helping victims and raising the public's awareness for the past nineteen years.

Million Mom March
Posted: Friday, June 16, 2006
Web Site: http://www.millionmommarch.org
What started as one of the largest marches on Washington (read our history), is now a national network of 75 Chapters around the U.S. that work locally, yet stand together, in their fight against gun violence and the devastation it causes. As part of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, the Million Mom March Chapters believe that:
all Americans have the right to be safe from gun violence in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, and places of work and worship.
all children have the right to grow up in environments free from the threat of gun violence.
gun violence is a public health crisis that harms not only the physical, but also the spiritual, social, and economic health of our families and communities.
the availability and lethality of guns make death or severe injury more likely in domestic violence, criminal activity, suicide attempts, and unintentional shootings.
it is possible to reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by gun violence with reasonable, common sense policy.

One creative and delightful way that St. Ignatius taught us to pray was to use the gift of our imaginations to enter more deeply into a gospel scene and to experience from the inside, and so can come closer to our Lord in prayer. We offer several examples of this type of prayer and suggest some ways to begin doing it.

With this project, an array of artists working in fields as broad as visual art, theatre, dance, poetry and jazz challenge us to recognize that incarceration is a fundamental part of the fabric of contemporary Californian, and U.S. society. Incarceration affects those inside and outside of prison and within these stories are human beings, families, and communities that make up a large cross-section of California's population.

Web Site: www.prisontalk.com
The PrisonTalk Online web community was conceived in a prison cell, designed in a halfway house, and funded by donations from families of ex-offenders, to bring those with an interest in the prisoner support community a forum in which their issues and concerns may be addressed by others in similar circumstances and beliefs.Inside the PTO web community you will be able to find support from others who are dealing with, or have been down the same dark road you may currently find yourself, information resources & tools to aid your in achieving your goals, and most importantly, a place to communicate and share your stories.There is no worse feeling than that of being alone and helpless. This applies to the families of those who are incarcerated just as much as it does to those behind the walls. PTO's goal is to bridge the communication barrier that exists in and around the criminal "justice" system today and bring everyone in the prisoner support community closer together to effect change in policy, prisoner rights, sentencing and so much more.

Web Site: http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/home_e.shtml

Posted: Monday, April 10, 2006

Restorative Justice: Philosophy to Practice
Posted: Thursday, April 13, 2006
Web Site: http://www.restorativejustice.org/articlesdb/articles/1178
Building on the principle that philosophy and practice must inform each other for both to attain their best and truest expressions, Braithwaite and Strang observe that restorative practices preceded the interpretation of them as restorative justice, and that philosophy lags behind practice in restorative justice. Hence, the authors perceive a significant need for restorative practice to be more informed by philosophy.

Taxpayers for Improving Public Safety (formerly Voters Corrections Reform Coalition), is a non-partisan consortium of California taxpayers and business interests who seek to improve public safety through smart, meaningful, and cost-effective measures which serve to best utilize taxpayer dollars to improve public safety.
TIPS believes prevention, intervention, rehabilitation, and opportunity ought to be a principal consideration in determining the best public safety policy for California (since increased punishment has already reached a point of diminished returns).Through a 3-pronged approach, TiPS seeks to improve public safety by addressing the needs of inmates, victims, and children, thru:
uniting the prison reform community into a powerful political force
utilizing Victims Foundation to curb abuses
investing in intervention & prevention programs for youth, including increased educational opportunities for children who are perceived to be at-risk.
By addressing the public safety needs of the offenders, victims, and children, we can altogether create a new generational dynamic of improved public safety.

Two of the principal and most influential developments within criminal justice policy - taking in a variety of common law jurisdictions during the past thirty years - have been the rise of the 'victim movement' and the emergence of a distinctive set of practices that have become associated with the term 'restorative justice', Understanding Victims and Restorative Justice examines the origins of and the relationship between these two sets of developments, and seeks to assess their strengths and weaknesses in meeting the needs of victims as part of the overall response to crime.

Responsibility, Rehabilitation, and Restoration:
A Catholic Perspective
on Crime and Criminal Justice
A Statement of the Catholic Bishops of the United States
We are still a long way from the time when our conscience can be certain of having done everything possible to prevent crime and to control it effectively so that it no longer does harm and, at the same time, to offer to those who commit crimes a way of redeeming themselves and making a positive return to society. If all those in some way involved in the problem tried to . . . develop this line of thought, perhaps humanity as a whole could take a great step forward in creating a more serene and peaceful society.

Founded in 1999 by the mother of a Federal prisoner, the Western Prison Project focuses on seven western states: Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada.Our core constituencies are those most impacted by the criminal justice system: prisoners, survivors of violence and crimes, and families of both. Our strategy is to identify,recruit and build the capacity and skills of grassroots leaders and criminal justice reform groups, and then to unite these activists in collaborative projects to build a multi-racial movement for criminal justice reform in our region.
In 2004, Western Prison Project expanded its work by incorporating a program advocating for the needs of the survivors of crime and violence?needs that are inadequately served by a narrow focus on prosecution and incarceration. Crime survivor Arwen Bird and the organization she founded, SAFES (Survivors Advocating for An Effective System) united with the Western Prison Project to form Crime Survivors for Community Safety (CSCS), a new WPP program.

Now being released in a new and expanded Third Edition, this hopeful guide for surviving traumatic loss shares insights and practical advice born from direct experience in the trenches of grief and loss.

It is receiving rave reviews from victim assistance and support programs across the United States and Canada.
