Summary

Forget, Marc (2005). Restorative justice in prisons: An evolution from Victim Offender Mediation in 1998, to a restorative prison wing in 2001, to a holistic, multi-sector project in 2004. Presentation at Ancillary Meeting #40, Eleventh United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, April 24, Bangkok, Thailand. Downloaded 14 October 2005.

The three projects that are highlighted in this presentation were selected because they represent a very broad spectrum of restorative approaches applied to the prison environment. Each of these 3 projects is in a different phase of implementation. The first project is the oldest (1998), and provides a lot of evaluative data; the second project has been operating for 4 years and is currently undergoing its fist evaluation; the third project is the newest, and not all aspects of its programs have been implemented yet.
