Clarke County (Ga.) Victim Impact Panels
This is a restorative justice program for offenders convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol. The objective is to raise participants’ awareness of the consequences of their criminal act through contact with victims.
During the panels, offenders listen to the victims and understand the pain and loss they suffered due to a drunk driver. Failure to attend a session is the same as violating probation and therefore results in a new, jailable hearing.
