Justice & Mercy: A better way to Criminal Justice
Tuesday, March 3 from 7:30pm - 9:00pm
A presentation free and open to the public on Tuesday, March 3, 7:30 pm in the Breen Center at Saint Ignatius High School. People make mistakes or make bad decisions that sometimes result in entering our criminal justice system. How do we as a society hold people accountable but also help people to thrive upon returning to our community?
Our presenter will be Dr Brian Lovins, PhD, founder of Justice System Partners. Their mission is to help corrections institutions reimagine their work. “Punishment alone doesn’t change behavior. Coaching does!” Dr. Lovins holds a PhD in Criminology from the University of Cincinnati, and is the former President of the American Probation and Parole Association.
This discussion is co-sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland's Office for Human Life and Chaplaincy Ministries, as well at Catholic Charities' Diocesan Social Action Office.
Please join us for an interactive presentation on reducing recidivism and helping people improve their lives. For more information, contact Fr Dan Reim, SJ.
