About the event
“The experience made me more inclined to ask: What’s an alternative to throwing the book?”
These are the words of an Ohio prosecutor, one of 44 who spent the day with Healing Broken Circles and Prosecutor Impact at Marion Correctional, experiencing the humanity of people in prison, and the work of accountability and healing that many behind bars are engaged in.
On July 31, 2019, Healing Broken Circles welcomed Prosecutor Impact and 40-plus Central Ohio prosecutors into our event space at Marion Correctional.
From early morning to late afternoon, our incarcerated HBC staff facilitated conversations, activities, and trainings designed to foster empathy between historically opposed groups: prosecutors and those they sentence.
The event was a result of HBC’s partnership with Prosecutor Impact. Founded by Adam Foss, Prosecutor Impact is dedicated to transforming the win-at-all-costs prosecutorial system.
