About Us

The Community Justice Center (CJC) is the leading restorative justice practitioner and educator in the State of Nebraska.

We are victims, offenders, their families, and allies working to implement restorative justice practices in our communities. For almost twenty years, CJC has provided forensic peer evidence-based restorative justice classes in prisons and probation districts across Nebraska, assisting thousands of justice-involved individuals within the criminal justice system.

We serve everyone involved in the criminal justice system: victims, offenders and the community with healing-centered resources and research-backed education.

Our work keeps thousands of people out of prison, provides a new path for current justice involved people, increases public safety, helps heal victims, and saves the US millions in tax dollars.

What is Restorative Justice?

Restorative Justice is a response to crime that focuses on addressing the harm suffered by victims, holding offenders accountable, and collectively dealing with the consequences of crime. This process rehabilitates offenders, heals victims, and rebuilds communities.
