Meet Janice Jerome , a true pioneer in restorative justice from Atlanta. As the founder and director of The Restorative Justice Institute of Atlanta, LLC, Jerome's work embodies the transformative power of empathy, understanding, and connection. With a rich background from the Department of Justice to significant contributions in restorative dialogue, her efforts in Atlanta and beyond have been instrumental in shaping a more compassionate approach to justice—one that heals rather than punishes.  Key Contributions: - Founding The Restorative Justice Institute of Atlanta, focusing on healing and relationship renewal. - Pioneering pre-trial court services and diversion workshops, addressing the roots of behaviors rather than their symptoms. - Hosting the annual Restorative Retreat, "A Space to Breathe," fostering community and understanding in serene settings. Jerome's vision for a justice system that 'says hard things in a good way' is not just revolutionary; it's a testament to the belief that everyone deserves a second chance. As we celebrate Black History Month, let's recognize the silent changemakers among us, like Janice Jerome, whose dedication to restorative justice continues to inspire and heal. #BlackHistoryMonth #RestorativeJustice #JaniceJerome
