Join Street Poets and Restorative Justice advocate JAVIER STAURING, the former Catholic chaplain in Los Angeles' Central Juvenile Hall and now the Executive Director of Healing Dialogue & Action, as we imagine a justice system that helps to heal wounds rather than deepen them, that prioritizes the common good over blunt punishment.  Through a real-life story of victim-offender reconciliation, thought-provoking dialogue and an original Restorative Justice-themed track from Street Poets' music archives, this episode offers inspiration and nourishment for all those working to create a more just society here in America, and around the world.  Metaphors be with you!
