The United States imprisons more people than any other country, both in number and per capita. Something isn’t working, our legal system is not a justice system.
In this first part of a 2 part series we will meet Karena Montag, a psychotherapist, and Troy Williams, who works with prisoners in San Quentin and is a formerly incarcerated person.
Karena talks about what Restorative Justice is and how it differs from Punitive Justice in both application and effect.
Troy describes his own process of going from gang banger to prison to prison reformer, now on the outside working with both incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people.
Reform of our legal system will make this a more just country.
