RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

There is a Restorative Justice Movement much as, historically, there has been a Labor Movement, a Civil Rights Movement, and a Women's movement.

Dr. Martin Luther King's March on Washington, D.C. was a once-in-a-lifetime experience back in the 60's. That event had a powerful and positive effect on the Civil Rights Movement.

The NATIONAL CONVOCATION OF JAIL AND PRISON MINISTRY brings advocates of Restorative Justice together EVERY year and it is having a powerful and positive effect on all those involved.

The 2009 National Convocation will be held May 17-21 at the Bishop Robert E. Tracy Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.  It should be a great success, as usual. Already, Sister Helen Prejan of Dead Man Walking fame is penciled in for one of the sessions. But, the greatest success of any of our Convocations is being with each other.

The cost for the last Convocation was only $300 (registration, shared lodging and most meals). The Convocation is probably one of the most economical opportunities you will ever have to spend 4 days with such a great group of people.

Of course, you also have to finance your transportation. So, don't wait to start looking for funding. Start now. Invite others who are interested. Hold a fund raiser for the group.
