Parkland Restorative Justice - Offender Re-Integration

The Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) program is a restorative justice circle model used for sex offender reintegration. Each circle is comprised of a core member, who is typically assessed as a high-risk released sex offender, and 3-5 community volunteers who have the skillset and passion to work with this population.

A circle meets regularly, and a range of topics and activities are covered in the circle, with the focus being on keeping the offender accountable and providing support for both their basic and emotional needs. The Core Member commits to open communication with the group regarding his identified risk factors and triggers, problematic behaviour, attitudes, etc., all in an effort to end his pattern of sexual offending and to increase public safety.

Prince Albert is one of 14 sites across Canada that offers CoSA in the community. Find out more about CoSA and the network of CoSAs across Canada by visiting cosacanada.com.
