CJC Completes 18th Restorative Justice Class at TSCI

On June 26, The Community Justice Center (CJC) completed its 18th Tecumseh State Correctional Institution “Restorative Justice -Victims Impact/Empathy (Life Skills) Class."  Seventy-nine percent of the class participants rated the class excellent with eighty-nine percent showing some level of empathy and/or insight in the effects their actions on their victims/community.  Of the class two participants said:  “It helped me to begin the process of understanding how I affected my victims. I got it, FINALLY, after 9 years an inkling of the gravity of harm I did", and "I see things 360 degrees now. There are a lot of people I hurt. My actions had a huge impact on so many people directly and indirectly.”
