Rockland, Maine - When you wake up in the morning and listen to the news, do you feel discouraged? Are you concerned that the ways our culture responds to crime is just not effective? Do you sense that the criminal justice system is expensive and inefficient? Have you wondered how things can be different? Sarah Mattox of the Restorative Justice Project of the Midcoast will speak on the fundamental basis of the restorative justice approach and how it can be applied. Mattox will provide an introduction to the mission and program structure of the organization, which addresses crime and wrong-doing at the levels of prevention, intervention and reintegration. This presentation will call on you to contribute your head, your hands and heart… your personal experience to a conversation about how to begin to make things right in the community where you live.
Special accommodations for persons with disabilities can be made with 48 hours notice. Please call the Library at 594-0310.
This is one in a continuing Thursday series of literary, film and cultural offerings sponsored by the Rockland Public Library & The Friends of the Rockland Public Library. Admission is free.
