Back to EpisodesAlaska Native Incarceration: Restorative Justice & Community Support
Description
Alaskas Native communities face disproportionately high incarceration rates, with over 40% of prisoners and a staggering 60% recidivism rate. A collaborative study between the Alaska Department of Corrections and the Alaska Federation of Natives aims to reduce these numbers through restorative justice programs and addressing parole rules that trap rural Natives in urban areas, potentially leading to homelessness or reoffending. These community-based approaches could finally shift the odds and promote healing.
