To pilot our own Restorative Justice Diversion Program (RJDP) team worked with the Restorative Cities Initiative to process (without system-based adjudication) some of the 700 plus cases that came out of the past summer's protests for Black livelihood. We engaged in hours of training, which prepared us for the next step in our journey: the actualization of our own program in partnership with the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office to process 15 youth cases during this pilot year. We will process referral cases of youth between 13 and 17.5 years of age facing felony charges.
