Our Mission...The current mission of the Insight Development Group is to provide a transformative learning environment where offenders seeking restorative responses to crime, can safely explore the underlying causes of harm doing, and understand more deeply the impact their harms have had upon their victims and the community. We seek to inspire greater levels of personal awareness as a means for emotional liberation and nonviolent social change. We seek to fulfill our mission by offering a critical and integrated curriculum exploring and developing personal awareness and skills in the areas of:
"It is our goal to understand the depth of our actions - those that brought us here and those that led up to our crimes - and how they have affected victims and those around us. In doing so, we will be more able to perceive situations with empathy and make decisions that take into account our communities and families. This program is intended purely for personal growth, knowledge and rebuilding our ability to connect to the community. It will not result in a certificate of completion or letters of recommendation."
