Fellowship
Justice Fellowship is a non-profit on-line community of Christians working
to reform the criminal justice system to reflect biblically based principles
of restorative justice for America's criminal justice system. Founded in 1983
as a subsidiary of Prison Fellowship Ministries, Justice Fellowship works
to: have a presence in local, state and federal jurisdictions. Justice Fellowship
promotes criminal justice reforms that reflect a notion of justice that seeks
to:
Recognize the needs of crime victims in the criminal justice system (e.g.
victims' rights and restitution);
Hold offenders accountable to their victims and to society by providing them
with opportunities to become productive, law-abiding citizens (e.g. victim
restitution, alternatives to incarceration, community restitution, substance
abuse treatment); and Involve communities in the criminal justice process
so that they become part of the solution in addressing the harms caused by
crime (e.g. victim assistance, mentoring, assisting ex-offenders with finding
a job.)
