WELCOME TO ​
​RESTORATIVE JUSTICE DURHAM

Every day in our Durham courthouse, criminal justice is done in our collective name without our collective engagement. Restorative Justice Durham (RJ Durham) seeks a just and restorative response to harm that defies this gap, engaging all affected in community-sourced practices of accountability and repair.

Y BIENVENIDOS A
​JUSTICIA RESTAURATIVA DURHAM

Todos los días, en nuestro juzgado de Durham, se hace justicia penal en nuestro nombre colectivo sin nuestro compromiso colectivo. Justicia Restaurativa Durham (JR Durham) busca una respuesta justa y restaurativa al daño que desafía esta fisura, involucrando a todos los afectados en prácticas comunitarias de responsabilidad y reparación.

Restorative justice means restorative communities.

We desire to see Durham become a restorative city, a community where we own and address the reality of harm within our schools, neighborhoods, organizations, and everyday relationships. Restorative justice processes point us toward those more human and holistic ways of relating to one another, and ultimately, toward transformative communities that embrace their responsibility for the prevention, repair, and healing of harm.

What is RJ?

 Restorative justice (RJ) is an alternative form of justice with deep roots in indigenous peacemaking. RJ processes center the needs of the people and communities harmed by wrongdoing and provide an opportunity for people who caused harm to take accountability for their actions. RJ Durham uses a voluntary process grounded in circles and guided by shared values to engage all those affected—alongside supporters and community members in the creation of a plan to repair the harm as much as possible.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PROCESSES

What makes RJ different?

In addition to offering an alternative process, restorative justice asks fundamentally different questions. Our criminal legal system abstracts harm to what law has been broken, who broke it, and how they should be punished. RJ deepens and broadens the conversation back into community, asking who has been harmed, what their needs are, who bears responsibility for meeting those needs, and how the harm can be repaired and prevented from recurring.​
