Restorative Justice Lab at 香港六合彩挂牌资料
The Restorative Justice Lab is a collaborative and interdisciplinary hub for rethinking justice through community-building, mutual aid, and restorative practices that prevent, reduce, and transform harm. Our work is generated from and around prisons in Alabama.
We currently offer a number of programs in Alabama prison facilities, including the following:
Restorative Justice Program (Limestone CF)
This interdisciplinary undergraduate program is delivered through the model at Limestone CF and is credit-bearing for all students. Coursework includes six classes that span criminal justice, English, psychology, and sociology. The curriculum is designed to prepare students to contribute to conflict resolution, community-building, and transformative justice movements. Students are able to complete a minor in Restorative Justice. You can find the curriculum for the minor .

RJ 102: Circles (Tutwiler CF)
This series of six workshops is delivered via Zoom in partnership with and is an applied continuation of RJ 101: Principles of Restorative Justice. Participants learn and apply the basics of circle structures while learning about the indigenous history of circle processes. We practice problem-solving, consensus-building, healing, and listening circles through a trauma-informed lens.
Foundations of Reading and Writing Correspondence Course (Limestone CF, Holman CF)
This zero-credit college preparatory class introduces students to the fundamentals of critical reading, thinking, and writing through a series of guided readings, prompts, and exercises over 12 packets. It is designed for a range of learners and includes expository, narrative, and creative writing prompts that can be completed individually or in group settings with guided questions. Each participant also receives a dictionary to support their exploratory, vocabulary-building work in the packets.
You can access, download, use, and adapt the correspondence packets through this .
