Restorative Justice

"Thirty years ago, Vermont’s enlightened bureaucrats implemented a juvenile “diversion” program, which is not unlike the restorative panels, but reached by a different path through the judicial system. The prosecutor had the right to remand Masi to the adult court system even as a 16-year-old. But, she recalls, “the state’s attorney agreed to turn me over to the program. The lawyer said, here are your alternatives. I suggest you take this route.”"
