Archbishop of Canterbury backs restorative alternatives to failing prisons / Ekklesia, 2 Feb 2007
"The Archbishop of Canterbury has criticized society’s over-reliance on prisons – and is calling for a commission of enquiry into the penal justice system in the UK, which he says is failing both offenders and victims because it is not restorative. [..] The UK religious think tank Ekklesia is currently involved in the production of a set of essays looking at radical alternatives to prison, combining social scientific analysis with policy ideas and theological critique."
