“…This becomes problematic when the concept itself begins to become everything to everybody. In this vein, scholars such as Daly (2014) and Graham and White (2015) have suggested a larger encompassing term, "innovative justice," may be more appropriate as is allows for disparate goals and practices while recognizing these as distinct from or even challenging of conventional justice practices. We agree that the term "restorative justice" is being stretched to its conceptual limits.…”

Restorative justice (RJ) emerged in the late 1970s as an alternative to conventional youth and criminal justice practices. Since this time, RJ has experienced rapid growth in theory and practice. At the same time, much of this growth has come from expansion in lower-end criminal justice responses to crime, and in the increasing use of the term “restorative” for a widening host of practices and interventions. RJ has also faced problems related to its increasing institutionalization, resulting in divergence from earlier aims and goals. In this article, we set forth what we see as the four biggest challenges facing the future of RJ, namely problems related to definition, institutionalization, displacement, and relevance of RJ practices. We follow with discussion of possible future directions of RJ.

“…Importantly, innovative ways of working with offenders require major shifts in the traditional culture of prisons (which includes management styles, as well as worker attitudes and practices). The introduction of new methods of working with inmates is invariably accompanied by uncertainty, stress, and conflict as old ideas and practices are challenged (Graham and White ).…”

This article explores the limits and possibilities of peer support schemes within a prison setting. The theoretical lens is that of desistance, with particular attention given to the concepts of 'giving back' and 'being listened to' as intentional means of fostering prosocial attitudes and outcomes. The analysis is based upon formal evaluation and informal critical reflections pertaining to the Prison Support Program delivered by the Australian Red Cross in Tasmania, Australia. The article considers the political landscape of law and order in Tasmania, and where the third sector fits into contemporary configurations. It outlines the foundational concepts and relationship elements that underpin peer support programmes, and discusses the practical barriers and opportunities that shape grounded practice. It concludes with a series of observations that might usefully guide the development and improvement of peer support schemes as they continue to evolve and respond to changing institutional circumstances and political environments.
