Members meet regularly to provide encouragement\, share information\, and promote healing through restorative justice practices. CRIIC also actively advocates for criminal justice reform\, with a focus on eliminating juvenile life without parole (JLWOP) and other extreme sentences for youth and young adults. \n  \nAbout Restore Justice Illinois:\nRestore Justice Illinois (RJI) is a new civic organization founded to mitigate the human and fiscal impact of the extreme sentencing laws of the 1980s and 1990s\, particularly where they have impacted children. RJI believes in the possibility of rehabilitation\, redemption\, and reunification with the community for all prisoners\, even those who have committed the most serious crimes. \n \n  \nThis program complements the current AWP exhibition Vinny and David: Life and Incarceration of a Family. Vinny and David began in 2012 when photographer Isadora Kosofsky met Vinny\, then age 13\, as he was booked into a juvenile detention center for stabbing his mother’s assailant. Through Kosofsky’s close relationship with Vinny and eventually\, his older brother David\, she has captured an intimate look at a family struggling to remain connected throughout recurring periods of incarceration. Vinny and David is open at 625 N. Kingsbury from June 8 to August 10\, 2017. \n\n  \nAbout the photographer:\nFeatured in global publications like Time\, Slate\, the Washington Post\, Le Monde\, the New Yorker and in the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Isadora Kosofsky’s long-term immersion into her subjects’ lives produces an intimate perspective on social justice issues. \n  \n  \nPhoto: Vinny eats his first meal in the detention center cafeteria. Albuquerque\, 2012.
