Community Justice Center Programs

 

Brattleboro Restorative Reentry Program
The Brattleboro Community Justice Center is committed to helping improve the reentry process of serious offenders returning to our community after being incarcerated. In partnership with the Town of Brattleboro, the Vermont Department of Corrections, and area service providers, we have developed this program in an effort to improve the process and reduce the known barriers to successful reentry. more>>

 

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>>

 

Trainings, discussions, community forums, etc.
Staff and volunteers from the Justice Center are happy to visit your organization (school or church group, for example) to talk about our programs. We're also open to collaboration on community trainings and projects. Contact our staff to discuss how we might be of service.

 

Justice Alternatives
Justice Alternatives is a restorative justice program that takes place before any court process. Police and others may refer someone to the program who otherwise would be charged with certain misdemeanor offenses.

Using a community conference model, responsible parties and victims work together with a volunteer facilitator to fully understand the harm resulting from the offense and to create an agreement to repair the harm.
