Summary: Today on "The Lines Between Us", we look at an alternative to the criminal justice system we’re used to. Restorative justice focuses on healing all sides involved in a crime through dialogue outside the courts. We talk about how it works with someone who's used it and with Lauren Abramson, who leads the Community Conferencing Center in Baltimore. Then-GROUP Ministries in West Baltimore is trying to kill those two birds with one stone: they're training ex-offenders in construction skills by having them renovate vacant homes in the Rosemont neighborhood. Tom Hall visits a couple of those houses to meet the men who are trying to revitalize the neighborhood...and improve their own prospects at the same time.
