A small national organization founded in 1975 [member of Canadian Friends Service Committee (CFSC)].

CFSC's Quakers Fostering Justice (QFJ) program committee works toward discerning, developing and encouraging responses that actively prevent harm, repair harm and move beyond harm in relation to the justice system. It does this in ways that are healing for all concerned and for society as a whole. The fostering of justice as healing is the ground from which QFJ's methods, processes and partnerships emerge.

Mission: To build [a] caring community without need for prisons; to explore alternatives to prison based on economic, social justice and fulfillment of human needs; to foster awareness within and outside [the] Quaker community of roots of crime and violence in society; to reach and support prisoners, guards, victims and families.
