    Erica Washington — Building Alternatives to Incarceration

    When Erica Washington was worn down from litigating death penalty cases, a local faith-based coalition introduced her to restorative justice diversion and her career trajectory shifted. In this episode, Erica explains how her team supports communities across the country as they create pre-charge alternatives to incarceration. She also takes us inside the experience of accompanying participants through a Restorative Community Conferencing process. Fueled by a desire to create off-ramps from racialized dehumanization in the criminal legal system, Erica believes strongly in the power of transforming pain into purpose — for individuals, communities, and systems. - - - -  Stay connected with Catholic Mobilizing Network and our mission to end the death penalty, advance justice, and begin healing.

    Mike Butler — Reimagining Policing and Public Safety

    When Mike Butler started as a police officer in Longmont, Colorado, the department and the community were not operating in right relationship with one another. That’s why he began looking for approaches to public safety that would embrace the gifts and talents of all members of the community. In his 26 years as Chief of Public Safety in Longmont, Mike worked to create community partnerships that were rooted in the principles and practices of restorative justice—and the fruits of this dedication are clear.   Mike joins us on this episode to share how the journey to reimagine public safety in Longmont, CO included taking a hard look at what needed to change within the police department in order to build a culture of mutual responsibility beyond it. - - - - Stay connected with Catholic Mobilizing Network and our mission to end the death penalty, advance justice, and begin healing.

    Mark Osler — Humanizing Prosecution

    Extraordinarily high mandatory minimum sentences defined many of Mark Osler’s cases as a state prosecutor—that is, until a conversion moment changed the trajectory of his career. As a prosecutor, legal scholar, and professor, Mark provides a window into the unique role that system actors can play in transforming the legal system from the inside. In this episode, Mark shares how restorative principles, and his own deep Christian faith, have inspired him to center human dignity, mercy, and redemption in his work on clemency and sentencing reforms. - - - Stay connected with Catholic Mobilizing Network and our mission to end the death penalty, advance justice, and begin healing.

    Chris Hoke — Welcoming Lazarus Home

    On this season of the podcast, we’ve been journeying with people impacted by the criminal legal system. This episode reminds us that every one of us is touched by incarceration — sometimes, we only have to look as far as the person in the pew next to us on Sunday. Chris Hoke, Co-Founder and Director of Underground Ministries joins us to share about their church-based model of accompaniment for people returning from prison: One Parish One Prisoner. Chris invites each of us to consider how we are called to be resurrection people, prepared to walk with those who are raised from the tombs of incarceration.

    Aswad Thomas — Surviving Violence, Rethinking Safety

    Aswad Thomas is no stranger to the physical and psychological impacts of crime and violence. His experience as a victim of gun violence led him to his current work with Crime Survivors for Safety and Justice — an organization that centers the voices of those most impacted by crime in the work of finding and creating solutions to it. In this episode, Aswad highlights a key tenet of restorative justice: that responses to harm should always be victim-centered. He also shares about victims’ rights and services, and how we can support a reality where the response to harm and crime is one that is rooted in safety for all.

    Felix Rosado — Facing the Harm I Committed

    According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, over 1.2 million people are incarcerated in the U.S. right now. For 27 years, Felix Rosado was one of those individuals. At the age of 18, Felix was told he would die in prison as punishment for the crime he committed — but the criminal legal system did nothing to ask him to reckon with the consequences of his actions, or make steps towards repair. In this episode, Felix shares how returning to his Catholic faith and learning about restorative justice set him on a journey of taking true accountability, transforming his life, and ultimately gaining his freedom. - - - - Stay connected with Catholic Mobilizing Network and our mission to end the death penalty and promote restorative justice.
