ONTARIO JUSTICE EDUCATION NETWORK (OJEN)

Published purpose

"Project 180" is a pilot justice education program that aims to build the legal capability and pro-social skills of youth in custody and on probation, while promoting positive relationships between youth and justice sector professionals through a facilitated dialogue. The program will allow youth in custody and on probation the opportunity to share their perspectives on the justice system, identify solutions to improve youth relationships with justice sector professionals, and offer their recommendations for greater rehabilitation and reintegration of young offenders. The Ontario Justice Education Network (OJEN) will develop and deliver this program in partnership with both open and closed custody facilities across the province and in collaboration with community partners who work with youth on probation.
