Today we started off the day with a very informative meeting with CRJ and Alternatives. These organizations are doing truely ground breaking work in Northern Ireland. They both are working with ex-prisoners from both sides of the conflict to help them in many different ways and training them to be mentors to at risk youth in Northern Ireland. Both Jim from CRJ and Tom from Alternatives explained to us about restorative justice and how they are working with the whole community and even the police! this was very interesting to hear because I have never heard any organization that works with both ex-prisoners and police to better a community in a constructive way that looks at the future instead of the past.
