Restorative justice can help foster the well-being of people because it prioritizes the needs of everyone involved in a crime in a healthy way. Victims, offenders, and community encounter each other and try to repair. Victims experience care for their needs, vindication, safety, and regaining control over their lives. Offenders experience forgiveness. The community is able to support and integrate the others and it is supportive for them as well. Then transformation through healing can take place. In a penal system, the punishment is important and does not help the offender understand the consequences of the crime or subsequently help the victim with healing.
When healthy healing happens, we have more capacity to take care of our planet and can understand the importance of this. When vulnerability and openness is fostered, we can be more mindful.
