Promoting Restorative Justice in South Africa's Correctional Services
CCR's Prisons Transformation Project (PTP) hosted a one-day seminar on 6 October 2005. Participants were drawn from the SA Department of Correctional Services (DCS), key stakeholders involved in the justice field and ex-offenders who participated in restorative justice programmes while serving their sentence. The themes in this report emanate from the presentations and discussions from the seminar and provide insight into the discourse on restorative justice, with particular focus on the complexities of implementing restorative justice in a post-sentencing environment.
