Thank you for this article of an inspirational story of hope, community, support, responsibility, inclusivity, learning and sharing. It buoys the work we are doing with our “Towards a Restorative City” vision in Whanganui, New Zealand. We’d love you to come for a visit!

This story made me hopeful for more Restorative Justice practices in the prison where I volunteer. I long to see the retributive focus become a restorative focus. I see such potential in many of the women I meet but very little opportunity for expression. At least not yet.

This inspiring story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for telling it, 91��Ƶ, and congratulations to Mr. Winship for earning his MA in Restorative Justice. It is wonderful to see that this program, through the continuing efforts and commitments of Howard Zehr, Carl Stauffer, and many others, has taken root and is now bearing beautiful fruit.

Greg is doing great work. I knew him from our Awareness retreats at ACI in Lima, Ohio. He was very involved with the prison at that time and was a very intelligent, compassionate, and impressive inmate ( also exceptionally talented musically). He has a lot to offer people in this field. His work is desperately needed in prisons today and also with inmates who have left the prison system unprepared for life. My prayers are with you, Greg. God Bless you and your new career!!
