By law in Minnesota, patients in many treatment centers are just that, "Patients." They are legally deemed, "Vulnerable Adults" and understandably so. But what occurs to me is WHY what people DO when they are "Vulnerable Adults", that is, what they did 'under the influence" of what made them 'Vulnerable" is not set aside legally once they get well?
Do my thoughts make sense, or am I missing something obvious? Legalizing meaningful forgiveness based on being 'offense free' for let's say, ten years?
Yeah, let's do that.
I’m heading to the State Capitol today for a meeting on Redemption Day issues, voting and Automatic Expungement being discussed.
In the photograph, I was getting ready to speak with Prison Staff at MCF-Redwing about Restorative Justice. I’m glad some people allow change and know it’s real.
