Our Transformational Mediation in Prisons program is designed both to provide mediation and to train inmates in non-violent conflict resolution and mediation skills. This will empower them to resolve conflicts within the prisons as well as outside the prisons upon their release.
Challenge
Conflicts arise between prisoners, prisoners and guards, and prisoners and their families. In 20th century Rwanda, colonists instituted racist ideologies, which helped ignite the 1994 genocide. While the ethnic classes created by these ideologies have for the most part dissolved, in certain cases, especially in prisons where many inmates are genocidaires, they continue to exacerbate conflict between people. It's necessary to have certain inmates trained to directly respond to these conflicts.
Long-Term Impact
Friends Peace House trains inmates to be mediators, who can find peaceful solutions to potentially violent conflicts. Having the presence of mediators in an environment where conflict occurs relatively frequently can reduce the chance for violent interactions while helping to make prisons a place where peaceful resolution more regularly occurs. In addition, our hope is that mediation methods can be carried outside of prisons when inmates are eventually released.
