Who We Are
Caribbean Umbrella Body for Restorative Behaviour (CURB) is the first and only network of Ñaribbean-based NGOs working to restore and support prisoners, ex-prisoners, crime survivors, correctional officers and their respective families as well as alleviate poverty, reduce crime and transform the Caribbean community. CURB promotes Balanced Restorative Justice as a means of healing and restoring those who have been affected by crime and its aftermath.Our Vision
Our vision is to unite and equip believers in Jesus in the Caribbean to more consistently and effectively assist crime survivors, prisoners, ex-prisoners, their respective families and to save the lost. We see CURB as a means of enhancing social transformation and developing a unique paradigm of Caribbean Restorative Justice.Types Of Activity
We network Caribbean NGOs which practice restorative justice; lobby for criminal justice reform; promote Balanced Restorative Justice; support crime survivors via our Restorative Justice Fund; lobby against prison (sexual) abuses; conduct research; facilitate training in various disciplines; and observe Restorative Justice Week annually with Caribbean themes. We also run mentoring and a Learning for Life programme for young male offenders.Location
Many volunteers of our member agencies and affiliates are engaged in prison ministry and restorative justice in Trinidad and Tobago and visit the various prison stations and youth offender institutions in the country. We are also networking with 2 other NGOs to provide mentoring and aftercare for young male offenders using the Caring for Ex-Offenders model.Our magazine (newsletter)
CURB maintains a Caribbean restorative justice blog which we update regularly. We also publish a digest of news focusing on Caribbean Restorative Justice, prison reform, criminal justice reform and prison abuse. Persons may read and or listen to our blog and newsletter articles from the Newsletter page of our website.Books we have published
CURB has produced several information brochures such as What is Restorative Justice?, Balanced Restorative Justice, The Restorative Justice Fund, and Stop Prison Rape. Each is available for free download from the Resources page of our website.About Our Prison Ministry
As an umbrella body, CURB is committed to provide institutional strengthening, training and other assistance to our members and affiliates. We hope to implement a restorative offender aftercare model ("Turning of the Hearts") in the Caribbean.We invite prison ministries and restorative justice agencies from all Caribbean territories to partner with us thereby creating a unified lobby capable of influencing major changes in the penal and criminal justice systems of the region.
Support In
As CURB embarks upon an extensive project to "Stop Prison Abuse" in the Caribbean, please pray for us that the Lord shall grant us favour with prison officials, government officials, prisoners, ex-prisoners, aftercare workers and agencies which provide support services to persons who are survivors of sexual assault. Moreover, please pray that no weapon formed against the will and purpose of God in this project shall prosper!Ministry Events
