Belong's restorative justice serivce at HMP The Mount, a Category C male prison in Hemel Hempstead, provides hope, rehabilitation and recovery for prisoners. The service enables prisoners to peacefully resolve conflicts that they have in prison, whether conflicts are with other prisoners or with staff members. It also helps individuals to build positive relationships, healthy conflict resolution skills and access support with disadvantages they face. HMP The Mount prison holds sentenced men aged 21 years and over, with sentences ranging from a few weeks to life.
As part of the service, Belong offers prisoners the chance to take part in restorative justice to move forward after violent or antisocial behaviour incidents at the prison. For prisoners who have committed violence or antisocial behaviour at HMP The Mount, restorative justice is a chance to take responsibility for their harmful behaviour and to receive support to tackle the root causes of this behaviour. For prison staff members or prisoners who have been victims of violent or antisocial behaviour incidents, restorative justice provides a safe space to share with harmers the impact of that violence and antisocial behaviour has had on them.
