Center For Restorative Justice Works

The Center for Restorative Justice Works (CRJW) was founded in October 2001, to innovate a broad, grass-roots, response to those impacted by crime and the criminal justice system. We advocate, educate, and demonstrate the critical need to mend, re-weave, and re-connect the primary relationship between child-parent, families-loved ones, a community in and out of prison. We believe these relationships are being torn apart by crime and the criminal justice system. We believe this is a factor in unsuccessful rehabilitation. CRJW promotes systemic change. We promote a restorative justice agenda. We work to advance principles of healing, the right relationship for the common good. Currently, there are five programs under the CRJW umbrella: Family Express, Camp Suzanne, Cross Over, Get On The Bus, and Transition4Success.
