What We Learned
Mass incarceration: a massive system of racial and social control; the process by which people are swept into the criminal justice system, branded criminals and felons, locked up for longer periods of time than other countries, and then they are released into permanent second-class citizen.

How did we get to where we are today?
School to prison pipeline
The handling of mental health
Private prisons
Immigration arrests
Justice is not about distributing punishment, but about reconciling and reintegration.
Restoration, not punishment, is at the heart of God's justice.
In restorative justice, crime is never only committed against an individual, but against the community.
Every church should be present in one of four ways:
Prevention
Ministry to the incarcerated
Ministry to the families of the incarcerated
Reentry process
What can the average person do?
