John Lash recently posted a brief essay on the Juvenile Justice Information Exchange.  It won’t take more than five minutes to read, and it’s well worth your time.  The first sentence of the article (“In 1985, at the age of 18, I was sentenced to life in prison for murder.”) and the last sentence of the author’s bio (“He is a participant in Compassionate Leadership, a non-violent communication training program, and is a student in the Master of Conflict Management program at Kennesaw State University.”) should be enough to convince you to go read it.

The article appears at: (http://jjie.org/john-lash-on-restorative-justice-youth-adult-prisons/16837).

TOTH to Susan Raines.
