Sterling’s intense educational pursuits led him to a class on restorative justice, where he developed a vision for completely changing the toxic prison culture where he’d likely spend the rest of his life. What started as a path toward forgiving himself grew into a tool for brokering peace and mediating clashes between gangs inside. We hear from Danielle Sered, a foremost expert on alternatives to incarceration.
For an intimate look at the men inside Oregon State Penitentiary discussing accountability, guilt, shame, reformation, and making amends, watch our three mini-documentaries, Restorative Justice, Class Inside, and True Accountability.
