Restorative Partners

 Vivien Devaney-Frice - Restorative Partners

You may have heard California is closing prisons and offering early parole to many of those who have been incarcerated. As we drive to SLO from Morro Bay we drive by the California Men’s Colony. Have you wondered what happens after the men are released once they have served their time or have earned early release? Who’s there to meet and guide their transitions back into society?
