Coming Home Documentary Film Showing at Marquis Theatre

Past event
Feb 26, 2020

Addison County Restorative Justice Services (ACRJS) is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing restorative justice programs to the residents of Addison County. Our agency has sponsored (with support from Neat Repeats) a showing of the documentary film Coming Home by Bess O'Brien. The film follows five people, participating in the COSA Program, returning to their communities from incarceration. Circles of Support & Accountability (COSA) is a re-entry program based on a successful international restorative justice model of assisting high level offenders, including those with sexual offenses, to reintegrate into their communities from incarceration. Trained COSA volunteers work in teams and meet weekly with the participant, or core member, and the Restorative Programs Coordinator to support his/her return to the community and management of everyday living. The circle holds the core member accountable for adherence to post-release expectations and in developing healthy relationships in their life and within the community. The film is showing on Wednesday, February 26th at 1:00, 4:00 & 7:00 pm at the Marquis Theatre & Café in Middlebury. Admission is free, donations are appreciated! Please contact Jenny Quesnel with any questions at Jenny@acrjs.org
