Truly the system is not working. However the mindset you mention above is not the only one, hence this article. Look around the country at programs such as RJOY (Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth), the Longmont programs I mention in this article; Baltimore's Community Conferencing Center featured on recent PBS Documentary "Fixing Juvie Justice", and in the countless up and coming programs that have DA's like Stanley Garnett in CO (Boulder Co.) stating that restorative justice is not just another flash in the pan approach and saves a significant amount of time and money, not to mention human lives that are turned around, victims and perpetrators alike, because of the opportunity to face and express truths regarding cause and affect which in turn gives everyone involved a better shot at living better futures.
