A Global Hub for Supervision Practices
The concept for the SAW Project was born at the 2nd World Congress on Community Corrections in 2015, when SAW Founder Julie Truschel interviewed supervision professionals from around the world about what they were doing in community corrections. Today, the SAW Project continues this collaborative effort to review, share and learn from experts around the world so we can improve models, outcomes, communities, and lives. The SAW Project offers a global hub where industry professionals can learn, connect, and share insights. See what we are doing today!
In this era of reform, "proximity" is more than just a distance, it's a pathway to understanding. 🏛️
The Reflective Jail Tours at the Albemarle–Charlottesville Regional Jail (ACRJ) are a groundbreaking initiative co-led by the Tom Tom Foundation and Central Virginia Community Justice. By bringing community members inside the facility, we aren't just looking at walls; we are looking at the lived experiences of our neighbors and the root causes of incarceration.
When we get proximate to the systems we wish to change, we move from judgment to empathy, and from punishment to restoration. Every tour is an opportunity to spark the dialogue needed for a more compassionate justice system. 🌍⚖️

It’s a powerful reminder that Compassionate Justice starts by listening to the voices too often left out of the room. And a reminder to celebrate women each and every day 🌍⚖️
