MISSION STATEMENT: The Restorative Justice Program of Winona County facilitates compassionate responses to crime and wrongdoing that fosters support and healing for the victim; accountability, rehabilitation and reintegration of the offender; and renewal and safety for the community.  

Their website declares, "Restorative Justice is traditionally an alternative way of thinking about and working with crime and criminal justice. It views crime as an infringement against an individual or community rather than the state. That is, it empowers victims, family, and the community as a whole to play a major role in the process of offender accountability. Restorative Justice encourages the offenders to take responsibility for their actions and helps them to repair the harm they have caused to the victim and to the community."

We thank Restorative Justice for their efforts to "integrate offenders into the community to make them a part of, rather than apart from, the community thus reducing criminal behaviors."
