Example text
Criminal (retributive) justice was the punitive way to reaction to a crime; restorative justice was the healing response. According to Zehr's original argument, retributive and restorative justice were polar opposites. In the hands of the criminal justice system, retributive justice neglected the victim and stole the conflict, taking control over the destiny of the offender. The new, restorative paradigm recognised the needs of victims and would expect offenders to take responsibility for the consequences of their decisions and to make amends for the harm they had done.
In the context of overcrowding, restricted resources and performance testing, the current prison paradigm gives staff emotional support, offering stability and a consistent Organizational Culture 39 purpose. The contrasting paradigm of restorative justice can inspire a creative problem-solving approach which has much to offer prison staff in this pressured setting. To make the most of the opportunity, the dynamics of culture change need to be explored. Restorative approaches promote four goals: • to enable victim, offender and community to work together to understand what happened in the crime/ conflict; • to realise who was affected by the events and how; • to decide together what should happen in order to repair the harm; and • to consider what can be arranged to help prevent the repetition of the harm.
The first is the likelihood that prisoners and prison staff will be unfamiliar with the process of a restorative conference and will therefore need a strong model of the method before they can use it well themselves. The second is the risk that prisoners or staff might bring punitive values to the conference, using their turn to speak to stigmatise the other party, or insisting on severely punitive agreements. In practice, the aspiration of empowerment may encounter a pressure point in the terms of agreements generated by the parties.
