A new short video narrated by CFSC’s Nancy Russell looks at five effective alternatives to prison.
Did you know there are already successful alternatives to prison? In this eye-opening video, we delve into innovative solutions that are transforming the landscape of criminal justice and offering a path towards safer communities and genuine rehabilitation. The video explains:
- Community-based sentences
- Restorative justice
- Education, employment, and training
- Addiction and mental health services and
- Healing Lodges.
The video also answers a common concern about the “dangerous few” with a successful example.
Explore these compelling alternatives that focus on accountability, healing, and the broader reasons behind criminal behavior. Instead of punishment, envision a justice system that promotes dignity, respect, and hope for all involved parties.
Please share this information so others know that there are alternatives to prison! You can download a free PDF handout with the information from the video. Learn more about CFSC’s penal abolition and restorative justice work.
