Rockland Prison Justice Project advocates for restorative justice practices as an alternative paradigm to punishment and for a justice system based on reparation and reconciliation rather than retribution and vengeance.
The grassroots group of Rockland County residents and activists work in solidarity with others in New York State and around the country to end mass incarceration and racial discrimination. Rockland Prison Justice Project’s WellBeing Workshop for formerly incarcerated women is designed to initiate a process of learning to make conscious choices and to address the unhealed trauma that is nearly universal for women in the criminal justice system.
Grounded in evidence-based behavioral therapy approaches and the science of neuroplasticity, the WellBeing Workshop provides a unique opportunity to conform and address trauma, reshaping their perspectives through the sharing of personal stories and fostering a cultural shift that results in personal empowerment grounded in self-love, awareness, and acceptance.
