Description
Tim Newell brings his considerable
experience as a prison governor and his
Quaker insights to bear on the future for
criminal justice. Forgiving Justice combines
uplifting stories of what is possible, with a
rigorous analysis of the basis for criminal
justice reform and an understanding of our
view of those who offend. This revised edition
includes the experience of the Circles of
Support and Accountability project in Britain
since the book was first published.
Do we simply forget offenders behind the
prison gates, or can we take this opportunity
to reaffirm our belief in the worth of
everybody? With the rich tradition of Quaker
work on prison reform to guide us, we hope
you too will be inspired to take a fresh look
at what the processes of repentance and
forgiveness could mean to a community-wide
approach in which we all play a part.
This book includes ideas for both study and
action, for individuals or groups who wish to
take the issues further.
