In response to the crisis caused by the prison-industrial complex, communities like Oakland are working towards the creation of a Restorative Justice City (RJ City) by developing new policies, education, and training rooted in restorative justice philosophies and systems.

 

DJDS led a multi-disciplinary team to support these efforts. We looked at how we can create the restorative infrastructure required to implement these policies, services, and processes as part of a holistic approach to envisioning a criminal justice system based on reparation rather than retribution.

 

The RJ City project evaluates the needs of a restorative system and applies this shift to the design of its spaces and how it is deployed at the scale of the city.
