Panel Discussion on Restorative Justice & “The Prison Within” 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 23rd — RSVP NOW

By MUUSJN on Tuesday, April 27th, 2021

First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor and MUUSJN present:

The Prison Within|| Friday, April 23, 6:30-8:00 pm Are you curious about what Restorative Justice is? Do you wonder what a Restorative Justice program might look like in your community? In short, Restorative Justice is a powerful tool for reducing harm and increasing healing for those caught up in our criminal justice system, so is a key part of the pursuit for racial justice as well.

Please join the Restorative Justice Group of First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor and Michigan UU Social Justice Network for a live panel discussion to hear from and interact with people who directly experienced a Restorative Justice Program while incarcerated for murder at San Quentin Prison. All are featured in a remarkable film, The Prison Within, produced and directed by Katherin Hervey, who will also be with us on April 23rd to discuss Restorative Justice. 

We encourage you to watch this film in advance: https://theprisonwithin.org/. It is available on YouTube, iTunes, or possibly your public library through Hoopla.
