Bridges to Life
Channel: Highline College
Date: 2019-08-07

Part of Decarceration  Day, 2019. Presented by Judy Dutcher. Victims of serious crime—abuse, assault, burglary, rape, murder—are engaging in a process of peace and reconciliation with prison inmates who perpetrated similar crimes against others. Bridges To Life connects communities to prisons in an effort to reduce the recidivism rate (particularly that resulting from violent crimes), reduce the number of crime victims, and enhance public safety. It’s a healing process for victims of crimes as much as it is a healing process for those who have committed the crime.
