One of a series of meetings exploring health and safety initiatives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
B
B
B
C
Hi
it
it
looks
like
our
panel
is
on
and
we
have
Ames
and
Adam
and
Aiden
Anna
is
the
person
who
put
this
together
from
Samos
and
she
is
the
host
and
I
see
that
Mary
Louise
Romero
is
on
as
an
attendee,
I
I.
Don't
think
I
can
promote
her
on
us.
So
if
you
can
hear
me,
will
you
promote
her
too
analyst.
C
D
E
C
C
We
have
about
25
folks
in
our
conference
room
as
attendees
and
we
are
providing
Spanish
interpretation
for
them.
They're
Spanish-speaking,
immigrant
families
and
residents
of
New
Mexico,
who
are
attending
we're
very
excited
about
that,
and
then
I
see
that
there
are
a
lot
of
attendees
I
will
we
will
take
any
cues
from
you
counselor
or
for
Council
Rivera,
who
I
do
not
see
on
to?
Let
us
know
if
you
would
like
others
to
be
in
this
room,
as
is
normal
for
our
meetings.
B
I
think
well,
you're
saying
most
of
these
folks
are
in
one
room.
Listening
is
that
what
you
said.
C
C
D
B
You
want
to
start
I
guess
I
just
want
to
make
sure
like
the
folks
that
are
in
the
attendee
room
if
they
had
questions
when
we
opened
it
up
at
that
time.
Once
committee
members,
you
know
if
there's
questions
from
the
public
I'm,
assuming
you
wanted
to
do
that.
Yes,.
C
B
Great
okay,
let
me
see
I'm
gonna
see
if
our
other
co-chair
is
joining
us.
Okay
hold
on
just
a
minute.
B
And
we're
just
gonna
wait
one
more
minute,
because
councilor
Rivera
is
about
he's
trying
to
find
he's
in
transit,
so
he
should
be
here
shortly.
B
Can
someone
promote
Chris,
Rivera.
B
G
B
Excellent
I
think,
let
me
see
sure
we
have
everybody
that.
B
Okay,
I
think
I
think
we're
good
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
started.
Do
you
know
Zamora
is
going
to
be
late.
He
had
another
meeting,
so
we're
gonna
go,
get
we're
gonna
get
started.
Let
me
change
my
screen
here.
B
G
H
I'm
here,
hi
Chris
good
evening,
everyone
and
welcome
to
task
force
all
right:
roll
call,
councilwoman,
Rene,
Villarreal.
B
G
H
G
Thank
you:
approval
of
the
minutes
for
April
18th,
any
changes,
Valeria
or
Julie,
and
he
changes
actually
any
changes
from
the
committee
wishes
of
the
committee.
G
Motion
for
approval
minutes
with
a
second
could
we
have
a
roll
call?
Please
Valeria.
H
K
G
Thank
you,
Communications
from
the
co-chairs,
councilman
Villarreal.
B
I
have
nothing
today
and,
if
I,
think
of
something
later
on,
I'll
I'll
I'll
share
under
the
task
force
matters.
Thank
you
all.
G
Right
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
Michael
Garcia
announced
that
he
was
running
for
reelection,
so
the
Press
has
been
calling
me
two
or
three
times
today.
So
I've
decided
that
I'm
not
running
for
re-election.
This
is
my
12th
year
and
that's
that's
a
lot
of
time
to
be
spending
their
night.
Just
don't
have
the
energy
anymore
and
really
feel
like
you
know
it's
time
for
new
voices
and
new
ideas
and
new
opinions
to
come
in
from
District
three.
G
So
hopefully
we
have
some
good
candidates
running
District
three
and
you
know
Miss
the
people
all
of
you
and
all
my
colleagues,
but
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
you
all
know
because
I
consider
you
all
my
friends.
So
thanks
for
that
communication
from
Valeria
or
Julie
Valeria
will
let
you
go
first.
K
G
All
right
so
we're
on
to
presentations
for
a
diversion
program,
learning
sessions
we
have
Adam
manske,
Aiden,
Allen
and
Ames
Stenson
I,
hope
I
got
all
the
names
right
and
we'll.
Let
you
guys
take
it
away
with
whatever
you
need
to
do.
If
you
need
to
present
something,
let
us
know
we'll
make
sure
you're
able
to
do
that.
C
Thank
you,
Council
River
I'm,
going
to
do
just
a
brief
introduction.
Marcela
Diaz
I'm,
a
part
of
the
task
force,
as
well
as
the
executive
director
of
Samos,
Statewide,
immigrant-based,
racial
and
worker
Justice
organization,
and
so
we're
sort
of
co-sponsoring
this
and
have
a
lot
of
folks
from
Community
as
attendees
in
this
webinar
and
we've
provided
interpretation
into
Spanish.
So
for
folks
who
want
to
use
that
interpretation
feature,
we
have
a
little
globe
on
the
right
hand,
side.
D
C
We
also
have
attendees
our
mayor
is
an
attendee
and
listening
in
as
well
as
Sophie
and
that
who
works
for
the
city
as
a
violence,
prevention,
specialist,
I,
hope.
That's
your
right
title
Sophie.
If
not,
you
can
tell
us,
we
also
have
Ben
Bauer
on
as
an
attendee,
who
is
our
public
States
public
defender.
So
thank
you
all
and
Senator
pope
from
Albuquerque
we're
focusing
very
much,
as
you
all
know,
on
our
ability
as
a
city
to
create
alternative
approaches
and
more
robust
diversion
and
restorative
justice
programs.
C
That's
what
our
subcommittee,
that
is:
Emily
Marie,
Louise,
Council,
Rivera
me
and
and
Monica,
and
so
we've
heard
really
great
presentations
in
the
past.
We
did
a
presentation,
probably
I,
don't
know
more
than
a
year
ago,
maybe
less
than
a
year
ago,
Mary,
Louise
and
I
just
on
sort
of
these
broader
Concepts
or
restorative
justice
and
diversion
programs.
C
And
so
we
are.
This
is
sort
of
a
continuation
of
that
and
we're
going
to
be
presenting
even
more
of
this
information
at
the
next
committee
meeting,
which
is
two
weeks
from
now,
as
we
in
hand
in
hand
with
our
community
engagement
process
and
Dr
Gabriel,
Sanchez
and
UNM
Center
for
social
research.
We
just
really
want
to
be
able
to
tie
these
two
things
together
as
we
move
forward
and
create
our
task
force
recommendations.
C
So
we
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
that
about
30
states
have
restorative
justice
principles
and
their
statutes
and
their
mission
statements.
They
have
funding
for
it.
C
New
Mexico
is
not
one
of
them,
and
so
we
hope
that
this
helps
spark
not
just
a
conversation
in
Santa
Fe,
but
really
at
the
state
level,
because
so
much
of
this
depends
on
our
court
system,
our
DA's
on
state
statutes
and,
and
so
we're
excited
to
have
our
three
panelists
talking
about
different
aspects
of
not
just
diversion
but
restorative
justice
programs
and
how
they
are
used
within
diversion
projects
and
programs
across
the
country
and
I.
Just
and
I
think
I'm
Adam
might
talk
about
this
a
little
bit,
but
you
know
restorative
justice.
C
Programs
are
often
a
part
of
these
diversionary
programs,
but
they're
not
necessary
for
diversion
programs.
Although
we
we
really
do
support
some
of
the
major
principles
behind
them.
C
So
we,
our
subcommittee,
is
going
to
be
presenting
more
in
the
future,
so
stay
tuned
in
the
month
of
May,
we
have
with
us
today:
Adam
manske
who's,
the
foreign
former
director
of
Criminal
Justice
at
the
center
for
court
Innovation
from
New
York
to
kind
of
give
us
a
broader
overview
of
the
work
that
they're
that
they've
done
he's
now
at
NYU
and
consults
with
a
lot
of
states
and
counties
and
cities
to
think
through
some
of
their
diversion
projects.
C
Ames
Stenson,
who
is
the
restorative
justice
program
manager
for
the
city
of
Inglewood,
municipal
court
and
Aiden
Allen,
who
is
the
restorative
justice
program
coordinator
from
the
Longmont
Community
Justice
partner
ownership?
This
will
talk.
We
will
talk
about
some
pre-booking
diversion
projects
and
for
those
of
you
who
participated
in
and
listened
into,
the
presentation
that
Mary,
Louise
and
I
gave
months
and
months
ago.
C
There's
so
many
different
kinds:
there's
pre-booking,
post
cooking
pre-prosecution
diversion
projects
that
DA's
run
across
the
country,
and
so
these
are
all
sort
of
the
menu
of
options
that
we
wanted
to
expose
our
community
to
as
well
as
this
task
force.
So
thank
you
all
we're
going
to
start
with
Adam
I
do
want
to
also
thank
Anna
Martinez.
She
is
at
somos
and
she's
sadly
got
my
picture
on
her
face
right
now,
but
at
some
point
maybe
she'll
turn
her
camera
on
she's.
C
This
together,
and
so
thank
you
for
doing
that,
and
then,
of
course,
our
organizers,
zulema
and
Rios,
who
are
in
the
other
room
with
again
25
folks
from
and
community
members
who
are
listening
to
this
in
Spanish.
So
we
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
that
they're
doing
to
get
folks
to
participate
in
the
surveys,
as
well
as
the
focus
groups
which
are
well
underway,
which
are
happening
through
me.
L
C
G
L
I
want
to
say
a
few
words
about
councilor
Rivera
deciding
not
to
run
for
reelection.
Is
it
for
me
at
least
a
very
big
deal,
I
understand
his
Instinct
and
his
interest
in
being
a
grandpa,
but
he
has
served
the
city
so
well
for
so
long
and
has
been
such
a
great
Champion.
That
I
don't
think
an
announcement
like
that
in
this
meeting
should
go
un
recognized
and
he
should
have
to
own
up
to
the
fact
that
we
really
appreciate
his
service.
K
M
Am
armed
and
ready
and
I
am
so
excited
to
be
here
in
your
offices
and
homes
from
my
home
in
Brooklyn,
New
York.
It
is
the
wonders
of
Zoom
right.
Sometimes
it
drives
us
crazy,
but
to
be
invited
to
meet
with.
You
is
just
thrilling
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
state
senator
and
the
counselors
and
the
health
and
safety
task
force.
M
I'd
also
like
to
thank
you,
folks,
from
somos
and
community
members
who
are
participating
in
some
of
the
other
organizations
that
are
here
so
I
am
really
excited
to
talk
about
diversion,
because
that's
something
I've
been
working
on
for
roughly
25
years
and
and
so
I'm
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
kind
of
work
I've
done
and
maybe
how
my
views
would
inform
approaching
this
in
a
place
like
Santa
Fe,
but
first,
let's
all
get
on
the
same
page,
I
think
Marcela.
M
You
did
a
great
job
of
queuing
things
up
actually,
but
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
try
to
stick
to
one
word
diversion
and
when
I
say
diversion
I'm
going
to
be
basically
referring
to
the
wide
range
of
community-based
programming.
That
could
include
pre-arrest,
deflection
kind
of
programs.
It
could
include
early
diversion
by
prosecutors.
It
could
include
alternatives
to
incarceration
a
range
of
a
Continuum
of
severity
of
cases,
and
it
could
include
I
I.
M
But
but
the
one
thing
I'll
say
is
I
can't
stand
the
word
diversion
because
it
implies
diverting
something
from
the
main
and
much
of
my
work
has
been
focused
on
trying
to
flip
the
default
all
so
that
the
community-based
services
become
the
option
of
First
Resort
and
the
traditional
responses
of
fines
and
feeds,
confinement
and
conviction
become
the
option
of
Last
Resort
or
the
the
option
for
the
the
very
very
most
serious
cases,
which
actually
represent
a
very
small
percentage
of
the
cases
that
come
through
the
criminal
justice
system.
M
So,
in
fact,
the
phrase
that
I
think
of
using
is
Community
First.
How
can
we
focus
our
work
on
the
needs
of
the
community?
How
can
we
make
sure
that
we're
returning
people
to
the
community
keeping
people
in
the
community
giving
them
productive,
valuable
responses
that
are
proportionate
and
don't
lead
to
the
lifetime
of
harms
that
the
traditional
responses
can
often
create
so
that's
kind
of
overall
context?
M
I
I
now
do
work
with
governments,
City
governments,
criminal
justice,
institutions,
like
prosecutors
and
and
so
forth,
to
help
them
supercharge,
diversion
and
and
so
I.
You
know
to
give
one
example:
I'm
working
in
a
county
in
New
York
state
that,
where
we
developed
a
blueprint
looking
across
the
the
range
of
ways
that
the
system
interacts
with
people
and
then
developing
a
blueprint
of
different
options
to
keep
people
well
not
to
keep
people
out
of
system
but
to
keep
people
in
the
community.
M
And
now,
over
the
last
several
years,
we've
been
systematically
developing
programs
to
achieve
that
across
the
Continuum
of
of
Criminal
Justice
engagement
and
so
in
in
that
that
particular
County.
That
includes
prosecutor-led
early
diversion
for
people
who
have
been
arrested,
but
on
fairly
low
level,
arrest,
they're,
diverted
to
brief
interventions
in
collaboration
with
the
social
services
provider,
and
if
they
complete
that
intervention.
The
prosecutor
declines
the
prosecute
the
case.
They
never
have
to
show
up,
there's
no
fee
associated
with
it.
They
never
have
to
show
up
to
court.
M
We're
also
looking
at
creating
a
restorative
justice
model
and
and
as
part
of
that,
we've
spoken
with
folks
from
Colorado
actually
to
learn
from
them
about
what
they've
been
doing,
but
to
create
a
restorative
justice
model
that
serves
adult
criminal
population
as
well
as
a
juvenile
population,
and
now,
where
we're
moving,
is
to
create
a
diversion
for
people
charged
with
illegally
with
gun
possession
cases
and
in
in
New
York.
M
M
And
if
someone
has
a
prior
history
of
that,
they
will
lead
to
prison,
but
we're
looking
to
create
again
an
extensive
Social,
Services
intervention
working
with
a
community-based
provider
as
as
as
an
alternative
to
what
the
traditional
response
would
be.
I
I
came
to
this
work
from
20
20
some
odd
years,
working
at
a
non-profit
called
the
center
for
court.
Innovation
and
I
joined
that
organization.
M
I'm
a
lawyer,
but
to
plan
a
program
called
the
Red
Hook
Community
Justice
Center,
which
was
a
early
and-
and
you
know,
one
of
the
more
visible
I
guess:
Community
Court
programs
that
again
adopted
this
approach
of
trying
to
find
ways
working
only
with
misdemeanor
cases,
but
working
identifying
ways
to
keep
people
out
of
the
system.
Even
if
they
were
going
through
the
court.
M
How
could
we
find
more
productive
outcomes
and
from
that,
where
I
planned
that
project
and
then
directed
it
for
a
while
I
moved
to
working
for
the
organization
as
director
of
Criminal
Justice,
where
over
the
course
of
many
years
as
I
see
it
or
as
as
I
talk
about
it,
we
essentially
built
the
infrastructure
of
diversion
for
New
York
City.
M
That
includes
all
five
boroughs
that
includes
a
range
of
Social
Service
interventions,
community-based
interventions
as
again
as
alternative
to
traditional
responses
from
low-level
offense
from
pre-arraignment
diversion
up
through
cases
like
I
talked
about
the
gun,
gun
case
gun
diversion
program,
but
also
for
other
types
of
serious
felony
charges
and-
and
you
know,
the
the
organization
the
center
for
court
Innovation
when
I
left
a
couple
years
ago,
they
were
and
are
serving
20
000
Justice
involved
people
a
year
through
these
kinds
of
programs.
M
You
know
that
organization
now
called
the
center
for
justice.
Innovation
has
a
national
footprint
and
they
provide
some
consultant
technical
assistance
around
the
country
on
different
things,
but
but
I
ran
all
of
our
New
York
City
programming
I
also
worked
in
in
a
city,
Newark
New
Jersey,
where
we
created
a
program
again
that
served
a
Continuum
of
you,
know
community-based
program,
alternatives
to
the
traditional
response
and
so
again
I
I.
You
know
one
of
the.
There
are
a
few
challenges
with
these
kinds
of
programs.
M
M
You
know
our
system
is
built
around
the
adversarial
system
seeking
to
find
factual
and
legal
guilt
or
innocence
through
the
trial
process.
But
in
fact,
in
the
vast
majority
of
cases
that
whole
system
is
short-circuited
through
plea,
bargaining-
and
you
know
the
the
reality
is
that
essentially
a
plea
bargain
is
a
negotiation
between
a
prosecutor
and
the
defendant
to
you
know,
reach
a
resolution
and
when
I
started
working
at
the
center
for
court,
Innovation
I
would
characterize
the
the
era.
M
You
know
25
or
more
years
ago,
is
kind
of
a
tough
on
crime
era
and
in
that
environment
I
found
that
prosecutors
really
tried
to
lever
up
the
the
punishment,
even
through
through
plea
bargaining,
but
what
we've?
M
What
I've
seen
over
time
and
and
as
a
result
we
I
I
much
of
my
work
was
focused
on
judges
who,
had
you
know,
a
significant
influence,
maybe
not
on
the
terms
of
the
negotiated
plea
bargain,
but
but
certainly
on
how
they
could
influence
some
of
the
sentencing
and
but
over
time,
we've
seen
and
I.
M
Don't
know
what
New
Mexico's,
prosecutors
or
judges
are
like
for
sure,
but
I
would
say
that
I've
certainly
seen
a
change
where
many
prosecutors
and
certainly
ones
I
work
with
are
eager
to
find
different
ways
of
approaching
the
populations.
They
serve.
They're
they're
aware
of
the
issues
of
racism
and
bias
and
socioeconomic
injustices
that
have
animated
the
systems
in
the
past
and
that
can
inform
how
the
system
operates.
Now.
M
M
What's
essentially
a
binary
option
when
they
have
someone
in
front
of
them
and
that's
more
or
less
conviction,
or
nothing,
fines
and
fees
or
nothing
jail
or
prison,
or
nothing
and
and
so
the
way
that
I've
approached
diversion
or
the
way
we've
approached
diversion
is
to
understand
that
you
know
even
with
the
interest
in
not
sending
everyone
to
prison
if
prosecutors
or
judges
don't
have
that
option.
M
They're
going
to
kind
of
default
to
these
these
traditional
responses,
and
so
in
some
ways
creating
a
network
of
diversion
programs
has
meant
almost
like
a
behavioral
economic
strip
of
literally
making
it
easier
for
system
players,
and
that
could
include
police,
of
course,
as
well,
to
choose
these
kinds
of
options
instead
of
using
the
traditional
ones
and
all
of
a
sudden,
and
so
the
way
that
we
did
that
when
I
was
at
the
center
for
court
Innovation
is,
we
would
physically
interposed
the
social
services
clinic
and
social
workers
in
the
courthouse
in
the
courtroom.
M
So
when
the
different
stakeholders,
like
the
prosecutors,
defense
and
judges,
were
trying
to
figure
out,
if
someone
in
front
of
them,
what
do
they
do?
We
would
have
a
social
worker
there,
who
would
say
well,
I've,
looked
at
this
person
and
here's
a
range
of
non-confinement
options
or
a
way
that
they
can
the
way
that
the
system
can
respond
to
that
person's
crime
or
whatever,
without
necessarily
giving
them
a
lifelong
conviction.
M
You
know
essentially-
and
so
some
of
it
is
is-
is
about
the
mechanics
of
creating
these
kind
of
systems
and
to
do
that.
I
think
I'm,
sure
you
folks
know
this,
but
it
really
is
about
building
a
network
of
collaboration
and
looking
beyond
the
traditional,
provide
traditional
stakeholders
of
the
Criminal
Justice
System.
M
You
know
obviously,
and
I'm
sure
you'll
hear
about
this
in
a
bit
from
the
other
panelists,
but
you
know
for
us
to
create
for
me
to
work
with
advise
a
D.A
and
help
create
a
restorative
justice
program.
The
DA's
office
is
not
going
to
be
the
provider
of
that
intervention.
They
don't.
They
won't
have
the
kind
of
neutral
credibility
and
it's
just
not
what
their
area
of
expertise
is.
M
So
you
know,
obviously
for
that
kind
of
program
and
for
most
of
these
community-based
Services,
it's
really
creating
Partnerships
with
the
range
of
service
providers
and
I
will
say
that
one
of
the
things
that
I've
seen
over
time
and
then
I'll
give
you
guys
a
break
from
me.
Talking
at
you
is
that
once
you
bring
new
players
into
the
system,
the
conversation
starts
to
change
so
that,
for
instance,
in
New
York
prosecutors
used
to
call
defendants
not
by
their
names,
but
only
defendant.
M
You
know,
and
and
in
that
way
kind
of
dehumanize
them
and
what
we've
seen
is
when
we
have
social
workers,
reporting
to
prosecutors
and
judges
on
the
progress
of
Ms,
so-and-so
or
Mr
so-and-so.
All
of
a
sudden,
you
see
that
the
prosecutor
begins
to
see
the
defendant
as
a
person
as
a
human,
and
that
has
all
sorts
of
powerful
benefits
and,
of
course,
that's
true
with
judges
and
other
players.
M
The
the
final
point
I
want
to
raise
up
in
thinking
about
creating
diversion
programs
in
a
community
is
that
it
is
absolutely
critical
to
think
about
proportionality,
so
at
the
height
of
the
tough
on
crime
era,
when
there
was
no
appetite
for
rehabilitation
programs
in
much
of
the
US
and
in
fact
even
today,
people
don't
really
use
the
word
Rehabilitation
that
much
in
criminal
justice.
M
You
know
the
folks
who
believed
in
clinical
programming
fought
essentially
for
a
foothold
in
in
this
space
and
to
do
that
they
had
to
do
two
things.
They
had
to
show
that
the
response
of
the
social
services
was
robust,
that
if
you're
not
going
to
send
someone
to
jail
for
a
year
or
two
years,
you
should
have
a
very
intensive
social
services
so
that
it
in
some
ways
it's
kind
of
like
an
equal
weight
or
an
almost
like
a
similar
kind
of
punishment
in
the
obligation
in
the
minds
of
I.
M
Think
really
in
the
minds
of
prosecutors.
At
that
point,
and
also
in
the
minds
of
you,
know,
judges
and
so
forth,
and
and
and
that
led
to
the
creation
of
things
like
problem
solving
courts.
Like
drug
courts
and
Community
courts,
well,
not
so
much
community,
of
course,
but
veterans,
courts
and
mental
health
courts
and
so
forth.
M
But
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
that
that
that
really
engaged
the
the
the
interests
of
prosecutors
to
to
to
to
bring
clinical
programming
in,
but
in
some
ways,
often
that
impulse
can
work
against
itself.
M
So
what
we've
seen
with
some
problem-solving
courts
is
that
the
obligations
are
so
intensive
that
in
some
ways
they
are
only
designed
to
serve
a
very
small
population
and
that
in
fact,
many
defend
defendants
and
their
lawyers
feel
the
obligation
is
too
intense
and
they
would
prefer
to
just
serve,
have
their
clients
serve
their
time
or
take
their
conviction
or
whatever.
M
In
that
sense,
the
defendants
are
kind
of
voting
with
their
feet
and
I've
had
many
prosecutors
say
to
me:
I've
created
this
fantastic
diversion
program
and
it
has
all
sorts
of
you
know,
treatment
and
all
sorts
of
other
benefits,
but
I
don't
understand
why
no
one
participates
in
it
and
why
we
only
have
five.
M
You
know,
defendants,
enrolling
and
I
will
look
at
them
and
say
well,
that's
because
it's
only
meant
to
be
dealing
with
people
who
stole
a
candy
bar
or
whatever
that
that
the
obligation.
You
know
that
the
that,
in
fact,
the
obligation
is
so
disproportionate
from
what
the
offense
is
and,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I've
kind
of
preached
in
working
with
different
locations.
M
M
What
the
weight
of
the
case
is,
and
you
need
to
match
that,
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
someone
with
high
needs
but
arrested
on
a
very
low
level
kind
of
offense,
they
may
benefit
from
lots
and
lots
of
treatment
like
a
year
of
treatment,
but
at
the
same
time
they
it's
not
really
a
fair
response
to
obligate
them
to
do
it,
and
so
thinking
about
how
to
match
up
the
needs
with
what
the
legal
weight
is
is
very
important.
But
I
know
I've
taken
up
a
lot
of
time.
C
Right
now
yeah,
we
appreciate
that
overview
and-
and
that's
precisely
why
we
wanted
to
have
some
folks
in
Colorado
who
really
are
leading
the
country
in
many
ways
in
their
broad
spectrum
of
different
kinds
of
diversion
and
restorative
justice
program.
They
have
a
state
legislature
and
and
funding
that
is
robustly
funding
these
programs
and
so
I
think
we
are
going
to
start
with
Aiden
and
who
does
this
work
in
Longmont?
Is
that
right,
Colorado?
C
C
N
Yeah,
absolutely
and
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
guys
for
having
me
here.
It's
definitely
an
honor
to
be
able
to
share
this
with
you
guys
and
yeah,
so
I
work
for
Longmont
Community,
Justice
partnership,
we've
been
in
the
Longmont
area
for
25
years
now,
providing
restorative
justice
services
to
the
community
and
that's
changed
a
lot
over
the
years.
N
Traditionally,
we
worked
with
law
enforcement
on
kind
of
a
referral
basis,
so
officers
would
sort
of
use
we'd
train
them
with
certain
criteria
in
deciding
when
cases
would
be
appropriate
for
restorative
justice,
and
usually
that
includes
when,
like
there's
a
victim
involved,
that
has
needs
when
whoever
was
responsible
for
the
offense
is
already
sort
of
taking
accountability
and
a
few
other
things.
N
But
that
can
be
a
little
difficult
because
we
got
a
lot
of
feedback
where,
even
with
the
training,
they
didn't
always
feel
totally
equipped
to
make
those
decisions.
They
had
to
make
them
like
really
Split,
Second
and
yeah.
Just
a
lot
of
feedback,
and
they
didn't
really
like
want
to
necessarily
be
making
those
decisions
or
wanted
a
little
bit
of
support.
So.
N
We
still
provide
that
for
adults,
that's
how
we
receive
adult
referrals
for
a
restorative
justice,
programming
and
yeah
restorative
justice
programming
looks
we
have
a
few
programs,
but
the
main
program
that
we
provide
to
the
city
is
our
restorative
justice
conferencing,
so
right
getting
a
responsible
person,
whoever
committed
the
offense
together
with
anyone
who
was
impacted
by
that
they
have
support
people
there
and
we
try
to
get
members
of
the
community
there
as
well
as
well
as
the
officer
and
we
have
trained
volunteers
who
basically
prepare
them
to
have
a
discussion
in
a
circle
about
what
kind
of
needs
to
be
done
from
there.
N
You
know
how
accountability
needs
to
be
taken,
who's
responsible
for
any
impacts
or
harms
that
were
caused,
and
then
we
write
up
a
contract
with
everyone
there
for
the
responsible
person
to
kind
of
take
steps
to
repair
those
harms
and
maybe
find
some
healing
themselves
if
they
need
it
and
that
contract
is
legally
binding
and
it
is
a
free
file,
diversion
program,
so
yeah
pre-booking
they,
the
officers,
will
give
them
a
referral
instead
of
a
ticket
and
if
they
complete
their
services
with
us,
then
their
case
will
be
totally
closed
out
and
they
will
never
even
receive
a
ticket.
N
N
All
of
them
have
the
opportunity
to
receive
services,
including
restorative
justice,
instead
of
a
court
date
similar
to
that
pre-booking
model
and
yeah.
This
program
came
about
because
the
city
of
Longmont
and
probation
they
had
their
own
diversion
program
and
they
have
had
it
for.
For
many
years
that
was
post
file
and
we
kind
of
also
provided
services
to
the
city,
but
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
disconnect
in
kind
of
the
access
points
for
receiving
this
service.
N
They
had
an
independent
contractor,
come
in
and
kind
of
evaluate
the
diversion
program
as
right.
Our
legislators
are
encouraging
kind
of
restorative
justice
across
the
state,
and
we
wanted
to
get
ahead
of
the
game
and
kind
of
decide
right
how
we
wanted
to
offer
restorative
justice
before
we
were
kind
of
told
how
to
provide
restorative
justice
to
the
community,
and
so
the
independent
evaluators
kind
of
came
in,
and
they
said
what
you're
doing
is
great.
However,
I
have
two
recommendations:
one
this
should
be
pre-file
and
two.
N
N
N
So
the
recommendations
from
the
evaluators
were
that
our
diversion
their
diversion
model
should
be
pre-filed,
and
it
should
all
be
one
access
point,
so
they
invited
us
to
be
folded
into
that
rewind
diversion
program
and
which
we
work
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Longmont,
probation
and
the
courts,
and
also
Longmont
children,
youth
and
families
who
run
a
youth
center
and
provide
different
services
to
youth
and
creating
this
sort
of
like
large
kind
of
scope
of
services
and
interventions
that
we
can
provide
any
youth
who
interacts
with
law
enforcement.
N
So
this
started
it's
almost
been
a
year.
It's
been
about
nine
months
now
and
the
so
when
law
enforcement
would
normally
ticket
a
youth,
they
instead
give
them
a
date
to
show
up
for
our
orientation.
There's
a
few
disqualifiers
in
there
in
which,
if
it's
a
mandatory
arrest,
that's
not
eligible.
N
If
it's
like
a
sex
offense
or
if
it's
use
of
a
deadly
weapon,
it
can
be
like
possession
of
a
weapon
but
the
use
of
the
deadly
weapon.
There
is
also
a
disqualifier:
they
need
to
be
under
the
age
of
18,
which
hopefully
will
change.
N
We've
been
working
closely
with
the
chief
of
the
Department
of
Safety
to
hopefully
get
that
Extended
to
around
like
23,
maybe
because
we
understand
that
right,
our
brains,
don't
stop
developing
at
18,
people
are
still
learning,
people
are
still
growing
and
they
should
still
be
afforded
the
opportunities
to
learn
from
their
mistakes
and
obviously
even
further
past
then,
but
it's
it's
much
easily
marketable
when
you're
talking
about
youth
and
we're
talking
about
young
people
and
that's
where
we're
kind
of
starting
to
get
in
on
the
ground
and
expand
from
there.
N
So
as
long
as
you
can
only
do
the
rewind
program
three
times
so,
youth
have
the
opportunity
to
into
this
program
three
times
and
then
we
kind
of
say
you
know
what
we
most
likely
expended
all
the
different
interventions.
That
could
be
helpful
for
these
youth
and
we
need
to
start
looking
at
some
other
options,
and
maybe
they
need
some
more
intensive
services
so
once
they
so
they
show
up
to
orientation.
We
explain
to
them
what
the
program
is.
N
You
have
people
who
are
just
more
comfortable
with
probation
and
you
have
people
who
don't
believe
that
there's
probable
costs
so
they're
gonna
fight
their
case,
and
we
have
people
who
work
with
them
and
to
make
sure
that
they're
making
informed
decisions
when
they
make
those
decisions
and
once
they
agree
to
it,
they'll
complete
an
assessment
where
we
kind
of
ask
it's
called
the
cans
assessment
and
we
interview
them
and
to
find
out
like
what's
going
on
in
their
life,
trying
to
figure
out
what
are
some
of
these
root
causes
that
have
brought
them
to
offending
whatever
that
looks
like
so
that
we
can
Target
those
needs
and
those
strengths
that
they
have
with
the
interventions
that
we
provide
to
them.
N
On
the
other
end,
then
we
meet
and
we
are
yeah
a
member
of
the
team
that
meets
along
with
probation
and
the
people
of
the
youth
center
to
decide
what
interventions
are
most
appropriate.
So
we
provide
the
restorative
justice
interventions.
Like
I
said
we
have
our
community
group
counseling.
N
We
have
a
restorative
theater
program
that
just
kind
of
helps
youth
figure
out
what
safe
accountability
can
look
like,
and
we
also
provide
like
reintegration,
Contracting
and
restorative
conversation,
skills
building
to
kind
of
help,
so
a
large
spectrum
of
services,
and
each
of
them
can
really
be
adapted
to
fit
the
needs
and
the
strengths
of
each
kid.
N
That's
something
we
figure
is
really
important
is
making
sure
that
our
interventions
are
flexible
and
responsive
to
the
participants
that
we
work
with
outside
of
what
we
provide,
that
other
partners
provide
substance,
use
education,
counseling,
family
counseling,
parenting
classes,
decision,
making
skills,
classes,
programs
that
help
youth
to
get
closer
and
help
them
prepare
themselves
for
whatever
they
want
to
do.
Post
education,
be
it
the
job
that
they're
interested
in
college
whatever.
That
is.
N
We
have
programs
that
are
designed
as
interventions
for
individuals
who
are
or
are
at
risk
of
becoming
affiliated
with
gangs,
and
we're
constantly
looking
for
other
partners
right
to
bring
in
to
make
sure
that
the
services
that
we
are
able
to
provide
are
robust
and
can
fit
into
the
unique
needs
of
whoever
enters
in
through
the
program
and
yeah.
N
So
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
we're
still
working
on
collecting
and
evaluating
our
data,
and
hopefully
we'll
have
that
soon
to
be
able
to
share
that
out,
but
some
anecdotal
things
that
have
been
that
I've
seen
from
this
program
is
it's
really
true
transformed
what
it
looks
like
for
youth
to
interact
with
law
enforcement,
whatever
that
is
because
I
hear
people
using
words
like.
Oh
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
oh
this
is
so
helpful.
N
We
have
people
who
are
like
okay,
we
didn't
find
probable
cause
in
your
case,
so
you
don't
have
to
do
this
program,
but
you
can,
if
you
want
to
and
they're
like.
Oh
we've,
I've
recently
immigrated
here,
we're
new
to
the
community
like
we
need
help
like
figuring
out
what
the
resources
and
services
are
need,
like
we're.
N
Gonna,
do
it
anyways,
which
is
just
so
different
than
kind
of
traditionally
how
I
view
people
I
interacting
with
law
course
they're,
usually
like
oof,
like
not
a
fun
experience,
but
we
see
that
yeah
just
a
lot
of
people
describing
it
as
beneficial
both
for
the
Youth
and
for
the
family,
especially
with
restorative
justice
and
kind
of
teaching
them
how
to
like
better
handle
conflict
and
accountability
with
their
family
system,
as
well
as
like
the
larger
Community
system.
N
But
there's
kind
of
I
think
so
getting
into
something
like
the
challenges.
There's
like
a
double-edged
sword
to
that,
almost
where
it's
like
when
you
work
with
officers,
and
they
see
that
your
program
is
beneficial
to
Youth
and
they
see
that
youth
have
a
lot
of
needs.
N
Most
of
the
referrals
come
from
our
school
resource
officers,
so
they
know
that
youth
have
a
lot
of
needs
and
then
they're
like
trying
to
get
them
to
our
program
and
maybe
giving
them
a
referral
when
traditionally
it
wouldn't
be
a
ticket
it'd
be
something
they
would
handle
on
this
school
level,
which
yeah
Ken
is
is
just
one
of
those
challenges
that
we're
working
through,
because
they
only
have
three
chances,
so
we
don't
want
to
put
them
in
there
if
they
aren't
necessarily
completely
eligible
for
that
and
yeah
I
think.
C
Like
you
know,
so
we
are,
we
are
gonna,
have
lots
of
time
for
questions,
and,
and
so
please,
all
of
our
panelists
stay
on.
C
We
have
some
time
we're
taking
up
most
of
the
time
for
our
meeting
today
on
this
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
say,
as
we
move
over
to
our
next
panelist,
is
that
one
of
the
things
about
Longmont
and
hearing
your
presentation
is
that
you
really
did
have
a
very
City
oriented,
because
we
have
to
deal
with
all
the
jurisdictions
right
and
and
a
lot
of
the
work
that
you
were
doing
was
pre-booking.
C
C
Who
were
getting
arrested
were
going
through
this
whole
other
process
and
there
were
problems
and
challenges
with
it
being
post
arrest
with
probation
and
juvenile
probation
in
parole
and
so
I
I
appreciate
this
example,
because
you
created
the
culture
at
the
city
level,
within
your
jurisdiction
right
and
and
then
it
kind
of
mushroomed
or
it
it
into
something:
bigger
post,
post
arrest
for
juvenile
probation,
and
so
so
now
that
I
I,
just
I
want
us
to
hear
that,
because
there's
so
much
that
we
can
do
at
the
city
level,
that
will
help
I
think
Inspire.
C
Some
of
these
larger
cultural
shifts
in
our
community.
So
we'll
be
back
to
you
Aiden
to
ask
you
more
questions
about
that.
But
here
we
have
our
next
Colorado
program
to
give
us
a
little
more
give
us
another
example
of
I.
Imagine
a
post
arrest,
post
booking
program
through
your
municipal
court
system
and
I
think
that'll
help
give
us
just
different
ideas
of
different
access
points
to
to
be
able
to
do
these
really
important
interventions.
So
I'm
gonna
invite
Ames
to
go
off,
mute
and.
O
C
O
O
Thank
you
and
yeah
just
a
echo
appreciation
for
inviting
me
to
participate
in
the
conversation
with
you
all
a
huge
thanks
to
Anna
for
inviting
me
and
I'm
excited
to
hear
and
see
the
work
that
you
all
are
involved
in.
I'm
actually
really
excited
too
that
you're
talking
about
this
within
the
context
of
Public
Health,
public,
community
health
and
safety.
O
I
think
that
at
least
in
the
state
of
Colorado,
that's
kind
of
where
our
conversations
are
going
through.
Our
Partnerships
and
collaborations
is
to
really
look
at.
How
do
we
Elevate
the
use
of
restorative
justice
practices,
specifically
within
both
the
not
only
Public
Safety
realm,
but
the
public
health
realm
as
well,
so
I'm
Ames,
Stenson
I
use
pronouns
they
them
theirs.
I
am
the
Inglewood
Municipal
Court
restorative
justice
program
manager,
I
also
wear
a
couple:
different
hats,
I'm,
the
Colorado
Coalition
for
sort
of
Justice
practices
board
president.
O
That's
a
501c6
membership
Organization
for
our
state
for
for
sort
of
Justice,
your
sort
of
practice,
practitioners
and
then
I'm
also
on
the
board
of
an
organization
called
the
restorative
rainbow
Alliance,
which
is
a
group
of
lgbtq,
plus
restorative
practitioners.
Looking
to
elevate
and
support
and
create
inclusive
restorative
justice
practices
via
training
via
VIA
programs,
those
kinds
of
things
so
really
a
pleasure
to
to
get
to
be
with
you
and
again
be
a
part
of
the
conversation.
O
There's
a
lot
of
things
that
I
I
won't
Echo,
but
I'll
kind
of
name,
especially
I,
just
want
to
say,
Aiden
I
know
you
and
I
haven't
met
officially,
but
I
I
actually
had
the
privilege
of
working
at
the
Longmont
Community
Justice
partnership
and
just
years
ago
and
lcjpl
just
name
is-
is
literally
considered
one
of
the
kind
of
Pinnacle
restorative
justice
non-profits,
especially
in
our
state
but
across
the
country
and
even
globally,
they've
really
laid
the
groundwork
for
how
do
we
do
this
kind
of
work
at
the
community
level?
O
So
I
can't
say
enough
good
things
about
lcjp
and
what
they
are
doing
and
and
honestly
we
were
informed
by
the
work
of
lcjp
and
other
programs
in
building
our
programs.
So
with
that
I,
it
sounds
like
many
of
you
are
familiar
and
kind
of
know
about
restorative
justice
or
sort
of
practices,
but
I
always
just
like
to
name
and
really
acknowledge
and
appreciate
that
these
roots
of
restorative
justice,
restorative
practices
are,
are
not
new
right.
This
is
not
a
new
way
of
practicing
conflict
resolution
or
Community
Building.
O
These
are
the
oldest
forms
of
of
conflict
resolution
that
there
really
are
and
that
they
really
exist
so
just
to
name
that
it's
really
important
as
practice
that
we
acknowledge
the
roots
of
these
practices
from
indigenous
communities
in
their
Aboriginal
communities
across
the
world.
So
that's
really
an
important
piece
of
of
where
and
how
we
come
from
with
this
I
also
just
want
to
name
as
far
as
kind
of
context
when
I
think
about
kind
of
what
are
these
terms
and
how
do
we
use
them?
O
I
like
to
say
that
if
you
ask
10
different
restorative
justice
practitioners,
what
RJ
is
you're
going
to
get
10
slightly
different
answers
right,
and
so
so
from
the
perspective
of
thinking
about
it
sounds
like
you
all
are
really
thinking
about
restorative
justice
and
the
use
of
as
it
relates
to
Diversion,
but
I
also
just
want
to
name
and
Elevate
that
these
Concepts,
as
it
sounds
like
again,
many
of
you
are
familiar,
are
often
used
on
the
front
end
in
the
preventative,
proactive,
Community,
Building
work
that
I
think
is
equally
as
important,
and
so
this
is
where
you
hear
about
these
programs
happening
in
schools
happening
with
Community
organizations,
so
even
before
a
crime
has
actually
been
committed.
O
What
is
the
sort
of
Justice
restorative
practices
work
that
can
happen
on
the
front
end
in
the
community
building
in
the
trust
building
in
the
relationship
building.
So
when
we're
using
the
values
of
restorative
justice,
of
those
five
hours
of
restorative
justice,
we
like
to
say
of
relationship,
respect,
responsibility,
repair
and
reintegration,
which
the
founder
of
one
of
the
founders
of
lcjp
coined
Beverly
title
when
we're
using
those
values,
we're
actually
using
them.
O
Pre-Even
an
incident
or
conflict
or
crime
even
taking
place
right,
and
so
so
I
named
the
the
piece
of
restorative
practices
can
be
both
proactive
preventative
practices.
They
can
also
be
responsive
and
reactive
responses.
There's
also
ways
we
can
be
informed.
The
use
of
informal
practices,
as
well
as
formal
practices,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
our
Inglewood
Municipal
Court
program,
which
uses
restorative
justice
as
a
reactive
or
responsive
practice
to
when
a
crime
actually
does
occur.
So
the
way
that
we
Define
restorative
justice
in
our
program
itself
is
restorative.
O
Justice.
Practices
are
victim-centered
community-based
responses
to
a
primer
conflict
which
then
create
accountability
which
create
opportunities
for
accountability,
repairing
harm
and
restoring
relationships.
So
when
we
say
that
they're
victim-centered,
similarly
to
what
Aiden
mentioned,
we
always
ask
a
harmed
party.
Do
you
give
consent
for
the
case
to
come
through
sort
of
justice,
so
their
voice
is
really
Central.
O
They
then
have
different
ways
of
being
able
to
participate
in
the
program
if
they
would
like
to
it's
Community
Based,
because
we
use
a
restorative
justice
model
called
the
community
group
conferencing
model
that
invites
community
members
to
participate
in
the
facilitated
conversation
of
who's
been
harmed.
What
needs
to
be
done
to
repair
that
harm?
O
How
is
it
going
to
be
done
right
in
creating
that
accountability
contract,
and
so
it's
it's
many
different
voices,
all
of
the
folks
that
have
been
impacted,
including
the
larger
community,
in
those
conversations
and
then
again,
similarly
to
what
Aiden
was
saying,
we
use
that
model
of
coming
together
for
a
facilitated
conversation
to
emphasize
accountability.
Where
is
there
opportunities
for
apparent
harm
and
ultimately
restoring
those
relationships?
O
I
will
also
just
say
that
our
our
program
fits
really
well
within
our
community
court.
So
we
are
a
program,
that's
situated
in
the
Inglewood
Municipal
Court,
also
just
to
give
you
a
little
context.
If
you
don't
know,
Inglewood
is
just
south
of
Denver
we're
actually
a
very
small
little
Community
about
35
000
people,
believe
it
or
not.
We
have
a
probably
double
that
come
in
to
work
in
our
community,
but
as
far
as
who
lives
here,
so
we're
a
pretty
small
municipality
and
our
community
court
is
really
dedicated
to
in
men.
O
You
know
ensuring
Justice,
with
dignity
for
all,
and
one
of
the
goals
is
to
promote
Rehabilitation
and
restorative
opportunities,
and
in
that,
in
several
other
of
our
other
goals,
our
sort
of
Justice
program
really
fits
well,
and
our
judge
judge
Jefferson
has
been
a
really
important,
Advocate
and
supporter
of
creating
the
program
and
wanting
to
see
it
grow
and
really
thinks
about
the
use
of
restorative
justice,
as
as
relates
to
system-wide
criminal
justice
or
criminal
legal
reform.
O
O
O
We
did
in
fact
start
these
conversations,
informally
in
Inglewood
2018-2019
and
then
in
2020.
We
were
able
to
pull
together
a
collaborative
advisory
team,
so
we
had
folks
from
courts,
including
our
victim
services
coordinator
and
and
folks
from
Patrol.
We
had
people.
Excuse
me
people
from
police.
We
also
have
people
from
courts
at
the
time
we
had
people
from
the
city,
so
we
had
our
neighborhood
resources
coordinator
and
people
from
Communications.
O
We
had
folks
from
our
school
district
participate
and
we
also
had
community
members
of
Inglewood
participate
to
say
what
needs
to
be
done.
As
far
as
utilizing
your
sort
of
Justice
in
our
community,
we
had
a
lot
of
folks
at
that
moment,
come
together
to
say:
yes,
we
want
this.
O
How
do
we
make
it
work,
and
so
we
had
some
conversations
over
the
year
of
2020
and
then
ended
up,
starting
and
actually
taking
cases
in
June
of
2021,
so
we're
pretty
little
in
the
and
new
in
the
scheme
of
things,
especially
in
RJ
and
Colorado,
but
based
on
just
being
able
to
learn
from
different
programs
and
things
such
as
lcjp
we've,
we've
built
a
program
that
has
some
success,
so
in
2022
I'll
just
give
you
a
quick
snapshot
of
some
of
data,
so
in
2022
we
had
71
cases
referred.
O
We
also
have
50
volunteers
who
have
said
we
want
to
participate.
We
want
to
go
through
training.
How
do
we
be
involved,
and
so
these
are
folks
that
are
participating
as
community
members
in
our
processes,
as
well
as
acting
as
facilitators.
O
We
had
62
percent
of
the
cases
that
we
held
involved
the
harmed
party.
So
again
they
have
options.
Overall,
it's
a
voluntary
process
for
everyone
involved,
but
a
harmed
party
can
choose.
Do
they
want
to
participate?
They
have
to
give
consent.
If
they
give
consent,
then
do
they
want
to
participate
in
person.
O
Do
they
want
to
have
a
surrogate
on
their
behalf
Etc,
so
62
of
our
conferences
included
a
harmed
party,
and
then
we
have
a
97
satisfaction
outcome
of
the
RJ
conference
and
and
98
of
those
participants
said
that
they
felt
like
the
responsible
party
was
held
accountable
for
their
actions.
O
So
again,
the
data
that
I
actually
always
go
back
to
lcjp,
because
even
prior
to
the
new
program
with
youth,
especially
lcgp,
has
a
lot
of
data
to
show
how
this
community
group
conferencing
model
really
works
and
how
successful
it
is.
I
I
still
think
y'all
are
probably
the
standard
of
recidivism
we're
not
there
yet
on
measuring.
But
that's
our
hope
is
to
that's
my
opening
way
as
to
how
do
we
get
to
the
levels
of
lcjp?
If
you
know
I
think
it's
under
like
at
times
eight
or
five
percent.
O
So
it's
it's
successful
for
sure.
Our
our
program
takes
both
Youth
and
adult
cases.
So
for
for
youth
cases,
we
are
a
pre-arraignment
program,
so
the
officers
are
writing
a
ticket,
but
then
they
are
recommending
the
case
go
through
your
sort
of
Justice.
Our
city
prosecutor
takes
a
look
at
the
ticket,
I
get
to
take
a
look,
and
ultimately
he
decides.
Does
this
go
to
RJ
or
not,
which
99
of
the
time
he's
sending
to
RJ,
and
so
it's
pre-arraignment
for
youth?
O
It's
it's
host,
arraignments,
considered
a
deferred
prosecution
for
adults,
and
so
we
that
was
one
of
the
the
conversations
that
we
had
is:
how
do
we
build
in
the
system
so
that,
if
someone
says
I,
don't
actually
want
to
go
through
sort
of
Justice
or
they
reoffend
during
the
time
or
they
say
yeah
I
want
to
go
through
restorative
justice,
but
then
kind
of
fall
off
the
radar
and
we're
not
able
to
find
them.
What
what
does
the
case
go
away?
What
do
we?
What
do
we
do?
O
So,
in
fact,
that's
how
we
built
it
into
our
system
now
is
that
if
the
person
successfully
completes
their
accountability
contract,
then
the
case
is
closed
and
the
ticket
is
expunged,
but
in
fact,
if
they
don't,
then
then
it
goes
back
to
the
traditional
court
process.
O
We're
actually
in
the
place
right
now,
where
we're
looking
to
expand
to
also
create
free
file
options
and
we're
also
looking
at
how
can
we
work
with
cities
that
are
nearby
to
us,
that
we
call
kind
of
a
Tri-City
area
to
do
some
collaborative
work
so
that
you
know
we're
not
recreating
the
wheel
in
our
smaller
municipalities
here
in
South,
Denver
Metro,
so
I
think
I'm
going
to
pause
there
because
I'm
sure
there's
lots
of
questions
and
yeah.
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
share.
C
A
C
C
What
the
only
thing
I
would
like
to
just
sort
of
preface
this
with
is
you
know,
Sophie
and
that
who's
a
an
attendee
and
works
for
the
city
and
I
are
really
trying
to
do
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
just
a
landscape
analysis
of
what
programs
are
available
and
for
those
of
us
who
have
worked
in
RJ.
Like
you
know,
we
saw
a
lot
of
money
dry
up
during
the
Martinez
Administration,
the
Susana
Martinez
Administration,
for
diversion
programs.
And
what
happens?
Is
it
really
affected?
C
In
my
opinion,
and
and
we'll
have
more
of
this
next
next
meeting,
but
sort
of
a
a
robust
info?
It
affected
the
supply
of
practitioners
of
programs
of
non-profit.
It's
that
we're
doing
this
work
and
what
I'm
hearing
from
all
of
these
presentations
is
that
there
needs
to
be
an
infrastructure
of
Services,
of
practitioners
of
facilitators
of
and
and
volunteers,
and
that's
something
that
as
we
move
forward,
we
have
to
think
about
how
how
that
grows.
C
So
I
just
throw
that
out
there
as
as
something
that
is
a
you
know,
sort
of
one
of
the
first
steps
that
need
to
happen
in
this,
so
I
can
choose
I,
saw
Monica's
hand
up
first,
so
go
ahead.
Monica.
E
Thank
you,
Monticello,
and,
and
thank
you
panelists
for
coming
and
sharing
your
work
with
us.
I'll
just
share
briefly
so
I'm
a
former
public
defender
and
as
far
as
I'm
aware,
we
have
one
diversion
program
in
Statue.
It's
called
the
pre-prosecution
diversion
program
and
it's
a
post
arrest,
post
booking
and
for
me
personally,
I
rarely
I
probably
had
one
client
go
through
the
PPD
program
in
my
entire
career
as
a
public
defender
in
part
because
it
was
expensive.
E
So
there
were
a
lot
of
fees
that
were
attributed
to
this
program.
There
was
a
lot
of
other
things
that
had
to
be
paid
for
including
treatment
and
other
sort
of
fees
to
the
to
the
district
attorney's
office
into
the
court.
E
I
I
now
work
for
the
fines
and
fees,
Justice,
Center
and
so
I
appreciated.
Some
of
the
comments
about
you
know,
thinking
about
fines
and
fees
and
I'm
wondering
in
in
each
of
your
jurisdictions
how
you
pay
for
these,
how
you
pay
for
these
diversion
programs
and
also
is
there
a
cost
to
participants.
O
Yeah,
but
so
right
now
the
there's
a
there's
one
position:
that's
funded
by
the
city
for
for
my
position
and
then
and
we're
looking
to
again
expand
services
to
kind
of
a
Tri-City
area,
so
that
folks
can
share
funding
and
things
like
that
and
we'll
be
more
eligible
for
for
Grants
and
things.
So
we're
looking
at
expanding
that,
but
as
far
as
actual
B
to
the
participant
yeah,
there
is
so
for
juveniles
right
now,
there's
a
75
dollar
program
fee
and
then
for
adults.
A
O
On
top
of
that,
if
an
accountability
contract
includes
something
like
counseling
or
something
like
that,
we
talk
about
if
that's,
doable
or
realistic
for
the
person
in
the
conference
itself,
so
that
they're
not
walking
away,
then
thinking
they've
got
to
pay
a
couple
hundred
bucks
for
counseling
those
kind
of
things,
so
we'll
provide
resources
and
support
to
connect
them
with
the
free
resources
if
that's
what's
needed,
but
everything
is
up
front
as
far
as
there's
just
a
flat
program
fee
and
then
whatever
is
built
into
the
accountability
contract
which
can
include
restitution
depending
on
the
crime
and
so
that
if
the
restitution
is
built
into
the
accountability
contract,
that's
known
going
into
the
actual
meeting
so
that
that
person
can
say.
O
Even
is
this
something
reasonable
that
I'm
able
to
pay-
and
we
have
had
one
very
successful
restitution
case
with
about
2
500-
that
this
person
was
able
to
pay
off
so
yeah?
That's
that's!
What's
happening
with
our
program
around
that.
N
Yeah
we
received
so
yeah
as
a
non-profit.
We
receive
a
lot
of
funding
from
Grants
from
the
city,
state
and
Federal
level,
but
mostly
that
city
and
state,
as
well
as
from
our
donors.
N
A
lot
of
the
other
interventions
also
receive
funding
from
the
city,
such
as
the
youth
center.
They
do
all
this
work
outside
of
being
a
part
of
this
diversion
model
too,
and
their
funding
all
comes
from
the
city
as
a
resource
for
youth
in
Longmont
in
general
and
yeah.
There's
a
75
fee
to
participate
in
rewind.
However,
they
can
do
community
service
to
instead,
if
that
is
a
burden
that
fee
and
also
to
participate
in
our
community
group.
N
Conferencing
is
a
125
fee,
but
we
also
offer
a
sliding
scale
based
on
their
income
if
they,
if
again
that's
going
to
be
difficult
for
them,
and
we've
made
sure
to
use
the
the
cost
of
living
like
most
up-to-date
for
Boulder
County.
So
it's
pretty
easy
to
get
that
bumped
down
significantly
just
due
to
the
yeah,
the
crazy
cost
of
living.
These
days.
M
I
guess
I'll
just
say
that
I'm
not
used
to
fees
for
this
kind
of
programming
I
will
just
based
on
EX.
Might
you
know
where
I've
done
my
stuff
in
New
York
City
people
were
not
charged
fees
for
participating
in
diversion
I.
Think
I
could
probably
articulate
some
reasons.
M
Why
I
think
that's
the
right
thing
in
New,
Jersey
the
same
and
and
we
I
helped
launch
a
diversion
program,
a
prosecutor-led
diversion
program
in
Birmingham
Alabama
last
year
and
the
D.A
there
was
thrilled
because
it
really
was
a
diversion
program,
the
first
diversion
program
in
the
state
as
far
as
he
knows
that
did
not
charge
the
participants
of
fee.
Now
that
said,
I
mean
that
said,
you've
got
to
fund
the
program
and
and
that's
obviously
working
with
a
range
of
government,
funders
and
I.
M
Try
to
make
the
case
that
this
is
a
response
that
is,
as
you
know,
Central
a
government
function
as
a
prison
or
jail
is
or
anything
else,
or
that
you
know
public
defenders
or
prosecutors
and,
of
course,
foundations
and
other
funding
sources
or
or
applying
to
Federal,
like
I've.
E
Can
I
just
say:
I
really
appreciate
those
answers.
New
Mexico
is
one
of
the
poorest
states
in
the
country
and
as
a
public
defender
and
then
now
in
this
role,
I've
I've
seen
people
go
to
jail
to
pay
off
as
little
as
a
hundred
dollars.
So
you
know
what
could
seem
like
something
really
small
for
some
folks
is
huge
for
others
and
will
be
a
huge
barrier
to
anybody
participating
in
any
kind
of
diversion
or
restorative
justice
programming,
especially
families,
people
on
fixed
incomes.
E
E
The
last
thing
I
just
want
to
share
if
you'll,
let
me
Marcella
is,
is
that
I
really
appreciated
you
all
talking
about
the
severity
of
the
crime
meeting,
the
sort
of
actions
in
the
the
diversion
program
or
the
restorative
justice?
What
I've
seen
in
my
career
is
that
it
will
be
a
pretty
minor
crime,
but
then
the
you
know
the
sort
of
sometimes
quote
unquote
restorative
part
and
I'm.
Not
saying
this
of
all
programs
I'm
just
saying
what
sometimes
happens
in
practice
is
people
are
required
to
do
I
mean
backflips.
E
You
know
over
and
over
for
multiple
years
right
to
the
point
where
I
would
I
would
sort
of
try
and
steer
people
away
from
that,
because
there
was
just
so
many
things.
People
would
have
to
do
in
order
to
complete
it,
and
there
was
always
fear
that
they
would
then
fail.
After
you
know,
they
would
have
already
been
out
of
out
of
custody
already
over
with
the
case.
Had
we
gone
the
traditional
route,
so
I'd
love
to
sort
of
I.
E
Don't
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
question
I'm,
so
sorry
I
hate
it
when
people
do
this
so
now
I'm
doing
it.
But
you
know
if
anybody
has
any
thoughts
about
how
you
all
have
balanced,
that
with
your
own
programs,
both
with
the
community
and
state
and
other
stakeholders
and
legislators
or
or
you
know,
electeds.
M
I
I'm
sorry
I'll
just
answer
quickly,
but
I
know
other
people
have
questions
and
other
people
should
answer
too.
But
this
is
that
that
is
years
of
working
with,
particularly
again
in
in
in
the
instance
I'm
most
used
to
it's
the
prosecutors
who
are
driving
much
of
the
plea
bargain
negotiation,
and
it's
getting
them
to
understand
that
they
can
create
a
beautiful
program.
M
You
know
support
a
beautiful
program,
but
if
there's
so
many
obligations
that
it's
impossible
for
people
to
succeed
or
they're,
not
no
one's
going
to
participate
in
it,
and
so
what
we
saw
was
in
in
New
York.
In
my
experience
we
saw
prosecutors
start
shifting
from
creating
these
very
intense
penalties
for
failure
like
if
you
don't
complete
the
program.
M
You
end
up
with
a
worse
sentence
than
you
would
have
had,
or
whatever
to
make
scaling
that
down
to
giving
people
credit
for
trying
to
participate
and
just
generally
I
think
that
it
it
it.
It
signaled
a
bit
of
a
culture
shift
in
understanding
that
the
goal
is
to
get
as
many
people
into
these
programs
as
possible.
But
to
do
that
it
has
to
be
proportionate.
N
I
can
reply
really
quick
yeah,
so
the
most
intensive
intervention
that
we
provide
in
rewind
is
like
a
10-week
program.
So
when
you're
talking
about
like
a
year
multiple
years,
that's
like
astounding
to
me,
because
yeah
that
seems
really
incredibly
difficult,
especially
when
you're
like
contrasting
it
to
like
what
would
happen
if
they
had
gone
the
traditional
method.
But
we
understand
that
we
have
three
chances
with
these
kids
before
they
hit
18.,
and
so
you
know
we're
okay
with
seeing
them
again
and
trying
again
with
another
intervention.
N
If
that's
what
what
needs
to
happen-
and
we
also
have
like
case
managers,
and
so
when
we're
looking
at
like
treatment
options,
it's
not!
Okay,
you
need
to
complete
a
year.
You
need
to
complete
two
years
of
treatment.
It's
like
okay,
let's
figure
out
how
to
get
you
treatment
that
you
can
afford
and
get
you
connected
with
the
therapist.
N
That's
going
to
be
good
for
me
for
you
and
we
will
trust
you
to
take
it
from
there
right
if
that's
truly
going
to
be
something,
that's
beneficial
to
you
and
again,
like
we'll
only
providing
that
kind
of
things
when
they're
saying
like.
Yes,
therapy
would
be
awesome,
could
you
help
me
get
in
contact
with
therapy
and-
and
there
was
something
else,
but
it's
okay,
I
forget.
O
I'll,
just
jump
in
and
add
that
are
the
average
contract
for
our
programs
about
three
months,
so
mostly
people
are
in
and
done
and
completed
by
about
six
months
so
same
we
don't
try
to
extend.
We
want
people,
we
say
this
too.
We
want
people
to
be
set
up
for
Success.
So
how
can
we
do
that
and
how
do
we
work.
J
Okay,
great
well,
thank
you
Palace.
This
is
really
exciting
to
hear
about
all
your
programs
and
especially
with
juvenile
participants,
so
it
can
help
prevent
kind
of
pervasive
involvement
with
JJ,
and
my
question
really
relates
to
the
organizational
infrastructure
in
terms
of
kind
of
the
Genesis
of
these
programs,
and
it
sounds
like
Aiden,
your
program's,
independent,
non-profit
and
I'm,
not
sure
if
I
understood
completely
but
Ames,
it
sounds
like
yours
is
more
embedded
in
a
court,
and
my
question
is:
do
some
of
these
programs?
Are
they?
J
O
Yeah
you're
right
Annie
that
our
program
is
within
the
court
right
now,
I
I
would
say
this
is
my
reading
Nick.
Please
I'd
love
to
hear
your
thoughts
too.
Around
this.
As
far
as
Colorado
goes
I
mean
we
have
over
50
different
programs
or
sort
of
Justice
programs
in
our
state,
I'd
say
there
are
a
handful,
a
couple
that
are
within
some
kind
of
Municipal
Court
or
certainly
within
District
Attorney's
offices.
O
As
far
as
in
we
can
use
and
actually
do
use
short
adjust
this
in
the
whole
spectrum
of
the
criminal
legal
system
in
Colorado.
So,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
organizations
that
are
more
non-profit
and
and
are
than
collaborators
and
build.
O
You
know
Bridge
Builders,
with
these
system
entities,
so
we
haven't
found
too
many
other
court
programs
here
in
Colorado,
Adam
I,
don't
know
if
you're
aware
of
kind
of
where
other
programs
are
situated
around
this
in
municipal
courts,
but
I
can
only
I
can
think
of
maybe
two
others
here
in
Colorado
that
are
actually
based
with
the
report.
For
now
and
honestly.
That
was
just
kind
of
a
starting
point
that
was
kind
of.
O
M
Respond
there
and
I'll
just
add
that
New
York
is
more
complicated,
but
in
New
Jersey,
actually
it
was.
It
was
Corey
Booker.
When
he
became
mayor
he
he
had
seen
some
of
the
work
we
had
done
in
in
New
York
and
he
told
his
municipal
judge.
This
is
a
program.
I
I
want
to
see
this
kind
of
work,
I
want
to
see
it
in
Newark,
and
so
that
was
a
city
funded
directly
City
funded
program,
but
they
brought
my
non-profit
into.
M
Actually,
you
know
provide
the
the
core
Services,
the
the
resource,
coordination,
the
social
work
and
and
then
that's
kind
of
expanded
out
to
a
whole
range
of
community-based
programs
beyond
the
court.
But
there
is
this
kind
of
core
it's
in
the
court,
it's
part
of
the
city,
but
it
is
actually
you
know
a
non-profit,
that's
providing
that
function
so.
N
Yeah
I'll
just
add
that
yeah,
the
like,
like
I,
mentioned
before
our
diversion
program
in
the
court
kind
of,
was
created
independently
in
our
restorative
justice
nonprofit
created
independently,
but
as
both
of
those
grew
just
recognizing
the
Partnerships
that
are
available
there
and
as
we
try
to
be
more
Community,
Based
and
work
together,
realized
became
more
and
more
in
partner
as
the
years
progressed
until
where
we
are
now,
which
is
you,
know,
working
really
closely
in
Tandem
and
a
lot
of
that
work
towards
the
beginning
really
happened,
because
we
were
partnering
with
the
police
department.
N
So
much
you
know
before
we
were
training
resource
officers
and
providing
trainings
to
schools,
and
we
found
some
like
just
incredible
people
that
are
within
those
police
departments
and
the
courts
that
advocated
for
the
work
that
we
were
doing
as
we
were
working
with
them
and
yeah.
Having
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
police
chief
and
the
chief
of
the
department,
Public
Safety,
on
how
we
can
continue
to
expand
that
and
provide
as
much
to
our
communities
as
possible.
So
just
really
would
emphasize
the
the
power
of
building
those
Partnerships.
I
Emily
thanks
really
great
presentations.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
sharing
about
your
programs.
I've
been
sitting
here.
Thinking
about
how
successful
these
RJ
programs
can
be
and
whether
there's
an
opportunity
to
shift
them
out
of
the
criminal
legal
system.
I
know
in
some
cases
you
know
one
you
know
aims.
I
Yours
is
embedded
in
and
ate
in
separately,
but
thinking
through
what
offenses
don't
even
need
to
be
addressed
in
the
criminal
legal
system
to
begin
with,
and
whether
those
conversations
are
happening
in
your
communities
or
Adam
in
the
communities
you're
working
in
whether
there's
a
movement
to
I'll
use
the
word
decriminalize
certain
quality
of
life
offenses
drug
offenses,
so
that
we
that
the
criminal
legal
system
isn't
the
gatekeeper
to
an
RJ
response
and
and
understanding
that
in
some
cases
that
programming
might
be
appropriate
in
the
criminal
legal
system.
I
So
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
share
a
little
bit
either
about
your
thoughts
on
where
we're
going
with
that,
and
whether
we
should
be
putting
more
energy
into
shifting
away
from
the
criminal
legal
system
in
some
cases
and
what
that
programming
could
look
like.
I
So
that's
my
question,
then
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
off
of
Monica's
around
sort
of
the
the
treatment
Court
model
and
how
you
know,
in
my
opinion,
I
think
it's
goes
against
sort
of
an
RJ
type,
our
core
principles
of
RJ
when
especially
like
in
a
drug
court
where
people
are
shamed
or
it's
a
punishment
based
response
if
they
don't
meet
certain
criteria
and
and
so
it's
exciting,
to
sort
of
think
through
a
different
way.
I
Like
I,
don't
know
if
treatment
courts
really,
in
my
opinion,
are
more,
are
diversionary
or
restorative,
and
how
we
can
again
shift
away
from
this
idea
of
these
treatment
courts
and
really
Center
them
more
in
an
RJ
guided
model.
So
I'll
be
quiet,
but
I'm
really
curious
to
hear
your
response.
M
I'm
happy
to
jump
in
I
think
Emily
more
power
to
keeping
things
from
getting
into
the
system
at
all,
and
it
certainly
sounds
like
the
city
is.
You
know
well
positioned
to
try
and
do
that
and
I
think
that's
great.
M
At
the
end
of
the
day,
though
it
it
is
requiring
a
lot
of
support
from
a
lot
of
different
partners
that
you
may
or
may
not
have
as
much
control
over
including
police
and
so
to
the
extent
you
can
get,
for
instance,
police,
to
divert
cases
or
deflect
cases.
So
the
arrest
isn't
happening
at
all.
That's
great
to
the
extent
you
can
intervene
at
the
school
level
so
that
you
know
nothing.
You
know,
young
people
are
given
an
opportunity.
I
think
that's
fantastic,
but
I
I
still
assess
the
problem.
M
M
At
the
point
of
you
know
a
decision
and
do
we
decide
like
that's
someone
else's
problem,
or
we
should
have
taken
care
of
this
earlier,
or
do
we
also
figure
out
how
to
support
the
people
coming
through?
In
that
context,
and
and
so
for
me,
I
I,
just
I
I
feel
like
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
who
are
coming
through
the
system,
they're,
probably
going
to
continue
coming
through
the
system
for
some
time,
and
so,
let's
figure
out
how
to
make
the
most
meaningful
opportunities
out
of
this.
M
As
far
as
treatment
courts,
I
I
don't
entirely
agree
with
you
on
some
of
it,
but
that's
okay,
but
I
will
say
like
in
New
York.
What
we've
seen
is
that
there's
some
crimes
like
I
mean
some
I
would
say:
drug
crimes
are
being
downgraded
very
frequently.
M
What
we've
seen
are
far
fewer
people
who
are
actually
ending
up
in
drug
treatment
courts
in
New
York
and
as
a
result
again,
it's
thinking
about
how
defendants
voting
with
their
feet
or
what
what's
there
and
so
I've
been
involved
in
creating
a
whole
bunch
of
like
more
I,
would
characterize
them
as
harm
reduction
models.
Where
people
you
know,
participate
in
programming,
hopefully
the
penalties
again.
M
Aren't
you
know
it's
not
about
gaming
them,
but
it's
about
kind
of
trying
to
reduce
some
of
the
harms,
but
these
are
still
people
who
have
been
arrested,
and
so
how
do
we
deal
with
that
fact?
At
the
same
time,
if
you
can
advocate
for
change
in
legislation,
you
know,
I
was
also
involved
in
in
New
York,
very
low
level.
Criminal
charge
was
public
urination.
It
was
a
civil,
but
but
I
mean
it
wasn't
civil.
It
was,
it
was
a
city-based.
M
M
O
Yeah
I
can
add
as
well
so
I
think
we
have
a
long
way
to
go
on
that.
I
really
appreciate
your
question
me
one
of
the
things
that
so
we
work
really
closely
with
our
school
district
here,
which
is
quite
small,
and
one
of
the
things
that
that
we
keep
saying
is
just
because
the
court
has
an
RJ
program
doesn't
mean
we
want
more
cases
right.
O
We
would
actually
love
to
support
you
in
using
restorative
practices
in
the
school
districts
before
it
even
comes
to
the
court,
and-
and
so
you
know,
that's
that's
been
a
lot
of
conversation
and
ongoing
conversation
so
that
we
can
at
least
provide
data
from
our
program
now
to
say:
here's
the
number
of
cases
we're
receiving
from
each
of
your
schools.
What
are
the
options
there
of
utilizing
that
and
using
these
practices
in-house
we'd?
O
Much
rather
help
use
our
our
volunteer
pool
to
come
into
the
schools
and
and
do
a
community
group
conference
there
versus
have
someone
get
ticketed
and
come
to
our
court
program.
So
it's
a
great
question.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
I
would
say
that,
like
similarly
on
the
front
of
like
just
over
criminalized
criminal
criminalizing,
you
know
homelessness
sitting
on
sidewalks.
Those
kinds
of
things
like
our
city,
like
many
others,
are,
are
kind
of
bumping
up
against.
O
How
do
we
work
with
folks
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
what
their
needs
are
and
I
would
say,
there's
more
internal
work
to
be
done
around
again:
the
values
of
restorative
justice
for
sort
of
practices.
What
does
that
look
like
in
some
of
these
crimes
versus
just
continuing
to
give
tickets,
and
then
people
don't
show
up
and
now
they
have
warrants
and
all
the
things
which
we
see
quite
a
bit.
O
So
one
of
the
things
that
I'm,
hoping
as
we're
kind
of
looking
to
transition
out
of
just
solely
a
court
program,
is
how
could
we
have
conversations
with
businesses
Community
folks
from
the
homeless
communities
to
say:
let's,
let's
have
a
sort
of
conversation
about
that?
What
are
your
needs?
What
would
you
like?
How?
What
do
you
need?
Let's
hear
each
other
in
those
proactive
conversations
before
even
tickets
are
given:
let's
bring
in
you
know:
officers
let's
bring
in
business
owners,
Etc
community
members,
so
I
think
bless.
N
Yeah
I
know
I
Echo
a
couple
things
that
amesa
said
just
about
there's
two
ways
that
we
can
provide
restorative
justice
right
those
reactionary
ways
or
that
prevention
and
partnering
with
the
courts
in
this
wake
and
seeing
every
youth
case
that
comes
in
gives
us.
This
amazing
ability
to
really
Target
like
where
the
areas
for
prevention
are
needed
like
right.
Now
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
violence
associated
with
some
shooting
deaths
that
we've
seen
so
we're
beginning
to
provide
healing
circles
to
the
community.
N
So
people
can
express
themselves
and
we
can
give
resources
to
parents
in
those
spaces.
We're
seeing
a
lot
of
fight.
C
C
Aiden
you're
Frozen,
so
we're
gonna,
stop
that
until
you
come
back
in
but
I
do
just
wanna
I'll
take
this
opportunity,
because
there
are
a
couple
of
questions
that
have
been
answered
in
the
chat
and
then
we
can
go
back
to
committee
members
and
it
looks
like
Aiden
is
still
frozen
frozen,
but
we
have
a
question
here
from
this:
almost
crew.
What
happens
if
one
of
the
parties
breaks
the
accountability
contract
aims?
You've
already
said
you
responded.
C
It
means
we
have
a
check-in
conversations
to
understand
what
happened
and
to
see
if
we
can
move
forward
with
the
RJ
process
or
if
the
case
needs
to
go
back
to
the
traditional
court
process.
We
also,
this
is
I,
think
important
because
most
of
the
folks
in
the
other
room
are
parents-
and
you
know
Spanish-speaking
parents
from
our
community
and
it's
you
know
how.
How
are
parents
involved
in
this
process
and
Ames?
C
You
talk
about
a
parent
or
a
guardian
needing
to
participate,
or
at
least
consent
have
given
consent
for
their
youth
to
participate
and
to
have
another
adult
participant
with
them.
That
may
not
always
be
possible,
and
so
are
there
ways
that
you
work
around.
That
I
mean
not
all
parents
have
time,
I
mean
we
know
that
we
have
often
two
jobs,
because
even
though
we
have
a
14
minimum
wage,
it's
just.
C
O
Sure
so
sometimes
we'll
just
we'll,
if
the
parent
or
Guardian
legally,
they
have
to
give
consent
for
their
kiddo
to
go
through
the
process.
But
if
they're
not
able
to
participate,
is
there
a
family
member?
Is
there
a
grandparent?
Is
there
a
teacher?
Is
there
a
mentor,
someone
that's
an
adult
in
their
life,
someone
that's
connected
to
school.
That
could
be
their
support
person.
O
Ultimately,
we
want
to
try
to
bring
in
someone
who
is
an
adult
in
their
life
that
they
have
a
good
relationship
with
that
they
trust
to
be
a
part
and
with
them
in
the
process.
So
yeah.
We
can
work
around
that
once
we
get
parents
to
kind
of
sign
off
and
say
yes,
it's
okay
for
my
kiddo
to
go
to
the
express.
C
And
I
also
think
it
speaks
to
this
committee
and
its
recommendations
on
and
the
focus
groups
and
the
community
engagement
that
isn't
just
about
these
particular
interventions
when
it
comes
to
crime
and
laws
and
breaking
of
rules,
but
also
sort
of
the
broader
needs
in
our
community
to
make
us
feel
safe
and
thriving.
We
have
some
questions
on
just
from
selfie
for
the
programs
that
enroll
youth.
C
Could
you
please
elaborate
on
what
constitutes
a
mandatory
arrest
and
that's
a
pretty
quick
answer,
and
then
she
also
asks
I
heard
substance
use
education
mentioned
as
service
for
youth
in
the
Longmont
program.
Our
youth
also
provided
outpatient.
Opiate
use,
Disorder
medication
options
as
part
of
The
Suite
of
services
following
a
diagnosis
from
a
qualified
medical,
professional.
A
N
Yeah,
so
a
mandatory
arrest
is
anything
that
where
they
have
to
arrest
them
and
book
them
so
like
a
DUI
is
an
example
of
that
that
assault
with
a
deadly
weapon
again
an
example
of
that
anything
where
they
have
to
go
and
get
booked
into
jail
and
have
their
mugshot
taken
and
then
yeah.
We
provide
substance
education.
N
N
So
we
see
a
lot
of
like
marijuana
charges,
some
of
those
low
level
drugs,
but
like
those
higher
level,
drugs
like
meth
fentanyl.
That
kind
of
stuff
is
going
to
most
likely
be
disqualified
from
our
program,
though
some
of
those
could
be
mandatory.
Arrests,
depending
on
the
substance
and
the
amount.
C
So
we
are
re-promoting
counselor
to
this
other
other
questions
or
comments
from
panel
members
for
our
panelists.
B
Did
you
just
ask
me
uh-huh,
you
always
do
so
I
figured
I
was
like
I,
just
heard
a
little
piece
of
it
too.
Sorry
for
some
reason,
my
the
power
went
off
at
my
home
and
then
I
had
to
re-engage
here
so
I
don't
know
if
I
missed
any
other
questions
that
I
thought
I
had
or
that
other
people
had
that
were
similar
to
mine,
but
I
think
I
was
I
was
interested
in
those
interventions.
Well,
first,
let
me
thank
the
panelists
for
your
expertise.
B
It's
really
important
to
hear
the
different
levels
of
programming
and
how
they're
embedded
into
community-
and
you
know
how
they
actually
are
community-based
responses.
I
really
appreciate
that
I
think
what
I'm
interested
in
there's
well
a
lot
of
things
swirling
in
my
head,
like
how
does
this
work
for
the
City
of
Santa
Fe?
What
are
we
doing
now
that
works
or
is
not
working
and
I
really
can't
answer
that
I
think
there's
community
members
and
the
new
staff
that
we
have
that
is
really
supposed
to
engage
in
this
area.
B
I
think
it
was
Aiden
that
talked
about
the
interventions
that
you
provide,
and
maybe
you
could
repeat
those
because
I
missed
them.
As
you
were
talking
about
them.
Did
you
say
theater
was
one
piece,
a
theater
program
or
did
I
miss
you
yeah.
N
We
do
provide
a
restorative
theater
program
to
youth,
it's
more
directed
at
some
of
the
younger
youth
that
we
get
or
youth
that
are
having
trouble
with
like
figuring
out.
What's
safe,
accountability
can
look
like,
so
that
is
really
modeled
in
a
way
for
kids
who
need
to
move
around
while
they
learn
as
well
as
kids,
who
are,
you
know,
maybe
having
trouble
with
taking
accountability
for
their
actions.
N
So
we
don't
want
to
throw
them
right
into
the
that's
like
our
lowest
level,
because
everything
in
restorative
justice
is
trying
to
bring
us
closer
to
being
able
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
and
that's
the
lowest
level
one
where
it's
like.
N
Okay,
like
let's
give
you
the
opportunity
to
like
move
around,
do
meditative
exercises
to
get
your
creative
juices
flowing
and
be
able
to
really
use
your
voice
in
a
group
around
your
peers
and
talking
about
what
your
experience
was
and
what
you
can
hold
yourself
accountable
for
in
a
way
that's
on
like
okay,
and
then
that
means
we're
going
to
contract
you
in
these
ways.
It's
just
okay,
we're
bringing
you
here
to
share
and
like
make
that
feel
better
and
safer
for
you,
I.
B
Guess
I
was
imagining
it
as
like
theater
of
the
oppressed
model.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
really
how
you
structure
it
or
if
you've
heard
about
that.
N
No
yeah
I'm
not
completely
familiar
it's
more
like
theater
games,
they
don't
have
to
like
present
or
performance
at
the
end.
H
N
N
N
Now
that
you're
kind
of
returning
and
you
know
leaving
our
care,
we
just
give
them
some
contract
items,
so
that
will
help
them
have
a
conversation
with
them
and
figure
out
what
they
need
and
what
would
help
to
suit
them
and
whatever
Community
they're
returning
to
so
that's
a
smooth
sort
of
yeah
hand
off
back
okay
and
then,
yes,
maybe
it
was
restorative
conversation,
training.
N
So
yeah
restorative
conversations
is
kind
of
one
of
the
basis
of
restorative
justice.
Where
it's?
How
do
we
have
conversations
about
conflict?
How
do
we
come
to
agreements?
How
do
we
express
our
needs
in
a
way?
That's
not
going
to
further
or
escalate
a
conflict
and
just
giving
those
tools
to
students,
so
they
know
how
to
how
to
express
themselves
and
have
their
needs
met
and
how
to
maybe
Contracting
in
some
agreements
between
two
people
who
are
in
Conflict.
N
So
that
would
be
a
great
example
of
a
way
that
that
can
be
preventative
where
resource
officers
can
like
notice,
a
conflict
that
may
escalate
into
an
offense,
but
isn't
there
yet
and
then
you
can,
let
us
know
and
bring
us
in
to
try
and
have
a
restorative
conversation
before
it
needs
to.
It
comes
into
a
fight
or
something
like
that.
B
Officials,
non-profit
Partners,
there's
quite
a
few
ways
that
I
think
you
could
utilize
that
you
know
conflict
resolution
how
people
can
actually
have
their
needs
met,
but
also
like
hear
from
others
about
what
they're
experiencing
I
don't
know.
If
we
got
all
the
questions
I,
because
I
was
offer
a
bit
but
Sophie
had
questions
were
those
all
answered
that
came
in
through
the
Q
a
we.
P
Hi
first
I
would
just
want
to
give
you
guys
a
shout
out
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
sharing
your
expertise.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
P
I
do
restorative
justice
for
the
Santa,
Fe,
Public,
Schools
and
there's
three
of
us
and
I'm
just
curious
as
to
what
kind
of
referrals
do
you
get
that
are
outside
of
the
school
I
know
that
you
did
talk
about
marijuana
use.
Could
you
share
what
other
referrals
that
you
might
get,
and
then
my
second
part
is,
is
one
of
the
things
that
I've
noticed
has
been
really
helpful
in
our
district?
P
Is
re,
a
re-entry
for
students
that
are
referred
to
my
program
so
I'm
located
at
one
school
but
I
work
at
all
of
the
high
schools.
I
have
a
middle
school
restorative
justice
coordinator
that
works
in
all
the
middle
schools
and
then
an
elementary
one,
and
so
I'm
I'm
curious
number
one.
What
kind
of
referrals
do
you
get
and
how,
after
you,
do
the
restorative
justice
facilitation
after
you
do
the
healing
Circle
whatever
it
is
that
they're
involved
in?
P
O
Sure,
thanks
for
your
question,
Mary
Louise
I
can
start,
so
we
will
take
any
and
all
cases
other
than
DB
any
traffic
offenses
or
if
someone
has
a
warrant,
so
the
cases
for
both
Youth
and
adults.
O
The
cases
that
we've
seen
are
anywhere
from
assault
shoplifting,
possession
and
paraphernalia
menacing
pulse
reporting
entry
or
destroyed
property
graffiti
theft,
harassment,
disorderly
conduct
like
it
really
it's
a
it's
a
wide
range
and
then,
as
far
as
your
question
about
reintegration,
we
don't
provide
that
simply
because
we
partner
with
the
schools-
and
so
we
invite
a
school
participant
to
be
a
part
of
our
conference
and
so
more
than
likely
there
that
school
perspective
and
voice
is
part
of
the
conversation.
O
But
but
we
also
because
we're
a
court
program.
Our
assumption
is
that
the
school
has
done
everything
that
they
can
on
a
restorative
end,
to
work
with
this
kiddo
around.
What's
needed
for
them,
and
so,
if
that
means
to
you
know
a
reintegration
circle
within
the
school,
then
we
hope
that
that's
happening.
But
as
far
as
right
now,
the
way
that
our
program
works.
We
don't
do
a
reiteration
circle.
O
This
school
has
its
own
process
around
what
that
looks
like
for
them,
but
I
will
just
name
that
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
for
opportunity
there.
So
it
makes
me
happy
that
you
already.
N
Yeah,
the
type
of
referrals
we
get
very
similar
to
what
Ames
shared
and
again,
we
yeah
similar.
We
don't
provide
reintegration
circles.
However,
we
have
trained
our
school
resource
officers
to
provide
those
in
instances
of
suspension
and
they
can
reach
out
to
us
for
support
when
they
need
it,
but
they
have
those
skills
to
hold
those
circles.
P
No
thank
you
for
sharing
I
I
just
want
to
share
with
you
all.
It's
probably
a
good
thought
for
it.
I've
noticed
that
when
I
bring
students
back
to
where
we
got
the
referral
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
what
they
learned
and
what
they'll
do
differently
that
it's
allowed
for
that
relationship
with
who
they're
reporting
that
to
to
now
have
this
new
relationship
with
this
student.
They
they
know
they
can
go
to
that
person
to
ask
for
support
in
the
future.
C
Thanks
Murray
Louise,
if
panelists
and
panelists
committee
members
counselors,
if
you
have
questions,
please
raise
your
hand,
I
I
did
want
and
let
us
know,
and
then
that
way
we
can
wrap
this
up.
But
I
did
want
to
ask.
C
It's
like
we
lose
those
young
people
to
a
system
that
we
really
have
no
control
over
and
that's
the
juvenile
probation
division
of
CYFD,
which
is
State
a
run,
obviously
and
and
then-
and
we
all
may
also
lose
it
to
to
the
D.A
and
whatever
programs
they
may
or
may
not
have
diversionary
programs
and
the
reality
is
we
just
don't
have
that
infrastructure
in
Santa
Fe
and
we
have
to
I,
feel
I
mean
we
have
a
great
RJ
program
in
the
schools
and
a
real
commitment
within
the
schools.
C
But
if
it
again,
if
there
is
an
arrest,
the
schools
don't
get
control,
you
know
lose
control
of
that
kid
too,
and
then
the
city
does,
and
so
it's
it's
a
tall
order,
but
we
have
to
build
something
basically
from
scratch.
In
our
city
and
rebuild
something-
and
so
my
question
for
those
of
you
who
have
built
things
from
scratch,
how
do
you
it's?
C
My
part
with
what?
What
does
it
take?
What
did
it
take
to
build
this
program
from
scratch?
Aims
in
your
community
of
35,
000.,
Aiden
I
know
that
Longmont.
The
partnership
has
had
just
this
long
trajectory
of
building
a
culture
that
now
allows
for
all
youth
to
be
diverted
or
most
used
to
be
diverted
and
that
took
years.
C
N
Oh
I
can
yeah
I
can
share
really
quickly.
I
yeah
definitely
wasn't
around
in
Longmont
15
years
ago,
but
I
know
from
what
I've
heard
that
just
you
know
finding
those
Partnerships
where
you
can
starting
to
build
that
culture.
N
If
it,
you
know
if
it's
with
the
schools,
if
it's
with
law
enforcement
I
know
all
like
all
the
work
that
we've
been
able
to
do,
and
it's
a
little
bit
different
being
an
independent
non-profit
has
been
based
on
the
ability
to
like
really
have
close
allies
within
law
enforcement
that
have
Champions
our
work
and
with
probation
as
well
and
yeah.
N
One
of
the
biggest
things
was
just
getting
people
into
circles,
letting
people
see
the
work
and
letting
that
speak
for
itself
and-
and
you
know,
you'd
have
a
lot
of
the
times
when
we're
just
starting
and
just
getting
officers
into
circles
and
when
they
stand
they're
like
oh
wait
a
second,
this
isn't
like
the
Kumbaya
or
whatever
I
thought
it
was
like.
This
is
really
effective
and
you
are
still
holding
them
accountable
and
like
like
wow
like
that
was
an
amazing
experience,
but
yeah.
It's
definitely
definitely
a
tall.
N
A
tall
order
and
it's
it's
taken
us
a
very
long
time,
certainly.
M
I'll
I'll
just
add
a
few
bits.
First
of
all,
you
have
tremendous
resources.
You
have
what
seems
to
be
some
amazing
City
infrastructure,
whether
it's
the
mayor,
City,
councilors
or
the
folks
here
who
are
present
in
in
this
and
probably
many
many
others
and
and
the
non-profits
who
are
present
and
and
that's
the
raw
material
and
something
very
exciting.
M
M
At
the
same
time
when
I
started
planning
a
project
called
the
Red
Hook
Community
Justice
Center,
it
was
literally
a
physical
moving,
the
courthouse
physically
from
the
big
centralized
Courthouse
to
a
low-income
at
the
time,
high
crime,
Community,
primarily
people
of
color
in
in
in
Brooklyn,
and
we
knew
it
was
going
to
take
several
years
to
actually
build
the
physically
build
the
project
to
renovate
no
parochial
school
into
this
courthouse
and
also
to
to
build
the
program.
M
And
so
while
we
were
doing
that,
we
used
that
time
to
create
some
other
projects
that
could
start
to
deliver
and
change
culture.
So,
for
instance,
at
that
time
we
we
were
able
to
create
an
Americorps
program
that
had
50
community
members
participating
in
it.
You
know
that
that
may
not
be
an
option
now,
but
that
was
because
we
knew
we
could
deliver
something
and
and
start
a
community
conversation.
M
We
created
a
youth
court
program
which
in
some
ways
has
now
morphed
into
something
more
similar
to
what
Aiden
and
Ames
are
talking
about
in
in
our
work
in
New
York
in
the
in
the
work
of
CCI
in
New,
York
City,
more
restorative
focused,
but
it
was
a
program
that
engaged
young
people
in
the
business
of
doing
Justice
and
helping
you
know,
keep
their
Community
safe
and
again
now
it's
much
more
restorative
and
focused,
but
it
was
delivering
something
as
quickly
as
we
could
to
start
to
change
the
dialogue
and
to
start
to
change
the
culture.
M
Meanwhile,
we
had
a
bigger
Vision,
a
much
bigger
vision
and
and
but
by
by
getting
a
few
things
started
and
also
you
know
knowing
where
we
wanted
to
go.
I
think
I,
think
that
was
a
important
recipe
for
Success.
So
people
felt
like
our
programming
had
been
going
on
for
several
years
when
we.
M
Finally,
when
the
actual
core
program,
the
Red,
Hook,
Community,
Justice
Center
heard
its
first
case,
yeah
I,
guess
that's
what
I
would
say
strategically
I'm
sure
you're
aware
of
these
things,
but
I
do
want
to
affirm
that
that
is
a
recipe
that
can
be
a
recipe
for
Success
deliver
quickly,
but
also
you
know,
keep
an
eye
on
where
you
want
to
go.
O
Yeah
I
I
go
out
in
what
you're
sharing
as
well
as
Aiden
I.
Think
I
would
just
add
that,
and
this
is
what
I
really
love
about
short
Justice.
It's
not
out
there.
It's
actually
our
own
work
right,
it's
a
it's,
the
invitation
to
do
the
work
ourselves
and
so
the
more
that
we
as
people
who
want
to
build
and
and
see
these
programs
Thrive
and
grow,
and
we
know
that
it
works.
O
If
we're
not
doing
the
work
ourselves,
it's
just
one
more
thing
in
the
to-do
box
right,
and
so
it's
really
about
that
culture
change
internally
for
ourselves,
the
way
that
we
engage
with
each
other,
the
way
that
we
hold
meetings
together.
How
do
we
understand
it
in
our
own
lives
in
a
way
that
then,
the
work
we're
doing
is
restorative
as
we're
building
these
programs
and
integrating
and
engaging
in
community
that
people
feel
a
difference
right
people
know
it
when
they're
participating
in
something
that
feels
different.
O
That's
counter-cultural,
different
narrative,
it
feels
different,
and
so
that's
where
I
think
when
we
can
practice
that
ourselves
and
then
with
each
other.
That's
how
people
see.
Oh,
this
isn't
just
one
more
thing
that
now
I
have
to
do,
because
someone
said
it
had
to
do.
I
actually
feel
better
in
engaging
in
this
way,
and
so
again,
I'll
Echo,
all
the
things
that
were
shared,
but
also
starting
from
our
own
selves
and
how
we
engage
and
participate
together.
I
think
is
really
really
key
as
well.
C
Well,
we
really
appreciate
all
of
you
for
sharing
this.
This
is
a
continued
conversation.
We
are
really
interested
in
bringing
our
city
along
in
these
conversations
with
us,
which
is
why
we
have
an
interpreter
and
why
we
had
this
be
a
webinar
and
sent
this
out
widely.
We
did
have
a
lot
of
folks
on
today's
call,
so
thank
you
all
and
we're
going
to
move
forward.
I
again
want
to
acknowledge
our
organizers
here
at
somos
who
are
and
all
of
the
folks
in
the
community.
C
Many
on
this
call
who
are
getting
people
to
do
the
surveys
with
Dr
Gabe
Sanchez,
Gabriel
Sanchez,
as
well
as
doing
the
the
focus
groups,
and
so,
let's
just
keep
doing
these
focus
groups,
and
there
we
are
it's
almost
in
our
conference
center.
So
everyone
please.
D
C
Hi
to
the
folks,
it's
almost
who
are
listening
to
all
of
this
and
thank
you,
Anna
Martinez,
for
putting
this
all
together
and
making
it
run
so
smoothly
for
us.
So
with
that,
we
are
done
for
our
part.
Rivera.
G
Well,
thank
you
Marcela.
For
setting
this
up.
It
was
a
great
clearly.
We
went
a
little
over
what
we
normally
do,
but
it
was
great
conversation,
great
question,
so
I
don't
think.
There's
any
problem
with
that.
So
I
appreciate
you
putting
this
together
and
the
next
thing
we
have
is
Matters
from
the
task
force.
If
there's
anything
from
task
force,
members.
G
Well,
I,
don't
see
any
hands
or
any
questions
do
you
know
be
pretty
dapper
tonight.
I
must
say
so
without
our
next
meeting
is
Tuesday
May
16th.
Unless
there's
anything
else,
we
are
adjourned.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
