In this episode, Garry talks more about his early funding from the Anglican Church, communities welcoming prisoners as a support to successful reintegration, and restorative justice. He stresses the importance of inreach into prisons and discharge planning. Many shout outs to those organizations (churches, CSC, provincial corrections and prison that gave Garry an office inside the prison), companies (Moores, Boston Pizza), and individuals (MP Bragdon for PMB seeking a federal framework for reintegration and Dr. Ujjainwalla) and all of those who help former prisoners return to communities.
Could restorative justice include making communities more welcoming and supportive of former prisoners returning to communities?
What contribution can communities of faith make?
Should MP Bragdon's Private Member's Bill be passed, what elements should be included in a federal framework to reduce recidivism? You could contact your federal member of parliament if you support passage of this Bill: https://openparliament.ca/bills/43-1/C-228/
