“I became a father around the time I learned of restorative justice and RJP Maine- and began volunteering. I must admit having kids made me think differently about the ways our societal systems might impact future generations. My whole life growing up in Georgia and South Carolina I was told by many that, “life just ain’t fair.” When I caused harm as a teenager and faced the “judicial process” it appeared this ideology was the accepted truth. I have never accepted this, and my hope is that the restorative work we do today with RJP Maine and elsewhere will lead to a more healthy, connected, and fair world for all.”- Gabe Smith
