WHAT IS JUSTICE? Moving from a system of punishment and disconnection to one of compassion and connection. A discussion featuring formerly incarcerated people and a victim telling their stories. Other participants include a representative from Vermont's Dept. of Corrections; a longtime Buddhist practitioner, advocate and correspondent with prison inmates; and the director of a local Justice Center. Our purpose is to raise awareness of dysfunction in our prison system, shed light on alternative approaches to justice, and provide the audience with resources for action.

Thursday, April 20, 6:30 pm at the Unitarian Church, 130 Main St., Montpelier, by donation. Refreshments served.
