Restorative Justice can be used by prison staff as an alternative, non-punitive way of dealing with the harm caused by misconduct, bullying or a breach of prison rules and violence.
Restorative Justice is most likely to be effective if implemented as a 'whole prison' approach, rather than as an 'add on' scheme. Restorative Justice processes can be facilitated by prison officers or senior management. They must be voluntary for all participants.
HMP Polmont Y.O.I. and HMP & Y.O.I. Cornton Vale have received training in restorative justice, and are in the early stages of implemention.
