Thank you -- I am just now learning about restorative justice.
I wanted to extend massive gratitude to Lionheart Foundation and Dear Robin Casarjian. I was unjustly detained and greatly appreciate the exposure to your program while inside. I saw many beyond myself, also find a center of solace and peace through your program. I am grateful the system I was in provided this tool. It was very beneficial and reduced conflict, in what can be an esculated environment.
I would encourage Sheriff deputies and Corrections Officiers to also consider this material.
Thanks for your brillant work!
