Justice Initiatives Book Club: Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair by Danielle Sered
Until We Reckon came out of the author’s work as Director of Common Justice, a Brooklyn-based restorative justice project, as well as her experience as an individual harmed by violence. The book makes a compelling case that our current criminal legal system is a machine that, in response to violence, creates and perpetuates more violence. Sered developed Common Justice as an alternative focused on healing and the restoration of individual and community relationships. This book documents that work and the many stories of Brooklyn lives touched by violence and healing.
