11:00am - 05:00pm  Restorative Justice in the Criminal Justice System: Centering Individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Contact: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_y22oC4ZhReWHeiDadeNamg#/registration

The criminal justice system often struggles to provide fair and equitable treatment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). At the same time, restorative justice offers an alternative framework—shifting the focus from punishment to accountability, healing, and community connection. This approach has the potential to transform criminal justice responses while creating space for those historically marginalized by traditional systems. Registration requested.
