Community Justice Center Programs

Brattleboro Restorative Reentry Program

Reparative Panels

Reparative Panels are a form of community-sponsored probation that brings together convicted offenders before a volunteer board of citizens as part of their sentencing process. The panels involve offenders, victims of the crimes the offenders committed, and community members in a process that seeks to repair the harm created by an offense. more>>

Mediation Program

Mediation at the Brattleboro Community Justice Center is a confidential, free process in which an impartial third person (mediator) helps disputing individuals (the parties) discuss, negotiate, and explore options for settling conflicts. The mediatior has no power to make any decisions, and settlement is reached only if each party agrees to it. Therefore, even if the process is required by a court or another authority, reaching any decision through the process remains voluntary. more>>
