RSVP: Restorative Justice in a County Jail / Restorative Justice, Dec 2005

http://www.restorativejustice.org/editions/2005/december05/rsvp
"RSVP is a mandatory programme for male offenders with a record of violent offences. Many of the participants have committed domestic violence. Based on the premise that violence is learned behaviour that can be unlearned, the programme immerses the offenders in a 12-hour-a-day, six-day-a-week environment in which they receive counselling, explore reasons for resorting to violence, and learn alternatives to violent behaviour."
