A conversation about organizing for a rehabilitative justice system with Kaleihau Kamauʻu and Ron Fujiyoshi from ʻOhana Hoʻopakele.
‘Ohana Ho’opakele was founded by kūpuna as an intervention to the disproportionate number of Kānaka Maoli in Hawai’i’s prisons. The hui began this journey by opposing the building of new prisons on Hawai’i Island, and their research illuminated the goal of building pu’uhonua to provide healing for paʻahao (or people who are incarcerated) before they return back into society. ʻOhana Hoʻopakele rejects the punitive model of the current prison system, and they pursue multiple avenues to create change towards a rehabilitative system while building a strong base among pa’ahao, ex-pa’ahao, their families, and supporters.
